octopus lady progression

Artist Statement:
This is a quick little drawing I created in my sketchbook. I used a pen to draw out the original sketch then went over the drawing with water color paints. I used pictures of octopus tentacles as a reference (which I have under my reference tab.) The elements I used include line, value, and color. I used like when making the original sketch, I have lots of dark values in the red of the tentacles and light values in the blue of the water. And lastly I used color throughout the whole piece. I could improve this painting by next time creating it on a bigger scale, outside of my sketchbook.

Eye Study

Artist Statement:
This is a study I did of the human eye from different angles. I created this piece using a black ball point pen. In this piece I have the elements of line and value. I used lines to create the shading in the eyes and I have dark values to create contrast. Next time maybe I'll study a different part of the human body.
