Digital Painting


I really want to focus on some technical stuff for the beginning of the semester. I went into a really deep exploration of various concepts all of last year and as much as I love doing that- I really want to master my craft of photoshop. i spent so much time with it, that I want to extend my knowledge of digital art. Over the summer I did a lot of researching online and found many photoshop tutorials, and I want to really utilize them. I bought myself a tablet, and I want to do some really fun digital paintings of fashion imagery. I am so inspired by fashion ads and I think there is so much valuable content in them that I love manipulating. Im attracted to the colors, the compositions, the beauty. Its intoxicating. I could spend all day just looking at magazines. When i find an image i love, I get so excited and start ripping out the pages and putting them on my walls. So what I want to do is make portraits with these images, sometimes copying them, but most of the time really altering them- subtracting and adding information and transforming them into my own. Leigh Viner, Sandra Suy, Danielle Buetti are all artists that I love for their style in creating these images. Its a mixed media, drippy, fashion illustration look that I love and want to emulate.

GREAT inspiration for my fallers


Elijah Gowan

Depictions of people falling, really great to capture different angles and body movements/ positions of falling.

upside down, rightside up, difference in legs and torso

notes from critique

self disciplining of the body versus the body forced into positions
