Drifting

Messing with hues to try to contribute to the mood of the piece. I really like the effect it has, but I still am really pleased with the original piece as well. I had a lot of fun creating the clouds - to start out i just had the clouds in the background but later I decided to try out having the character himself on a cloud, too. I was particularly inspired by my friends drawing of Pit for how the character seems to be cushioned by the cloud he is on.

I Can't Seem To Remember...

First of all, I realllly wanted to draw one of those noses! They're so cute :@ I'm really happy with how this character turned out. I've started working on my art portfolio, and I've decided that what i want to be my theme is emotion. Expiriencing emotion serves often as inspiration for art or conversely allows the viewer to expirience emotion. What I want is for the viewer to be able to sympathize or empathize, etc, with my work. Maybe they might not completely understand the background of the piece or its inner workings, but on a basic level they can still relate.

In this piece, the character is moving forward, drifting along, carried by the motion of the cloud. But he is still motionless. A metaphor for how he is so caught up in small issues surrounding him that he fails to realize what could still be - he cannot see the bigger picture of what is.

Though you don't know all of his story, can you not sympathize with his pain? Though you may not have similar expiriences can you not understand his feelings?

Also, please critique me on how I can make it better <3

Pompadour

This pair of drawings were done in Paint using my tablet. Fsgfsgfsg :D He's soooo cooooo. I wish I could always hear his English dubbed voice in my head :(!

And yes, he's so cool that his "cool" doesn't need an "l" at the end.

Kuwabara

Greatest character ever! I've finally submitted... I have to admit that I find myself greatly enjoying the cheesy, and definititely not-the-best anime in creation, show my sisters watch all the time: Yu Yu Hakusho. The characters in this show are utterly absurd and constantly make me wince at their dialogue (which is not so bad as some other shows I watch; "I've gotta book!") or at their interestingly chosen voice actors... But I can't deny that I easily relate to the distictly unique humor (I thought I'd bust a gut laughing, George, I really did...) or comedic friendships the characters find themselves in. One of my favorite characters is the one that is easily the most outspoken, unlikeable, obnoxious, unecesarily rediculuous, and pompadour sporting Kuwabara.
