On Helmets

Watercolors are tough.

This was a warm up to re-familliarize myself with watercolor for a project I'm working on. A six panel series to illustrate a famous japanese myth, Momotaro (Peach Boy). As much as I enjoy the watercolor process, I'm very hesitant with it and have very little idea on how to do backgrounds without spending an insane amount of time on them. I hope throughout this I'll gain more confidence and knowledge in using it.

Self Portrait for Life Drawing

Self portrait assignment done from a mirror. I've always enjoyed ridiculously snobby looking portraits. I think i should add a huge burly mustache.
