What I'm Working On...

A Boy's Imagination, Brittany White (c) 2010

(click image for larger!)

I'll have a color version up soon. My professor asked our class to try scanning our pencils rather than redrawing our originals this time. So I'm trying it out. Not sure how I'm going to color it yet(what media I mean) so I'll let you know the route I took on Wednesday. I have one more to draw, as well as some re-do work, or continuation of a project rather that will replace (sort of) what I already did. All of it will be posted by Friday if all goes right.

Til next time!

Illustration of Verbena

Verbena, Brittany White Copyright 2010
Here is my original illustration. I painted it in watercolor on cold press arches block, and took it into photoshop to adjust the flower border, making it lighter and smaller than my original painting. The flower is called Verbena, and it grows on long stems that reach up in swoops from the ground. They are a crawling plant type, but don't attach themselves to the ground away from the root.

Seed Packet Design, Brittany White Copyright 2010
In context, this illustration is for use on a seed packet. It could be used for just about anything though- wallpaper, stationary, dishware, towels, fabric, you name it. I love plants and natural stuff so look forward to seeing more botanical pieces in the future. I may do some more and actually make a repeat pattern using different flowers/plants for each season... Sounds like I have some research to do.

In my next post: 5 single panel humorous illustrations! Till then.

Here's for another night of scanning.

Repeat Pattern-First Attempt

Utensils, Brittany White (c) 2010
Repeat pattern of kitchen utensils. Imagine it as wrapping paper, covering a recipe box, dish towels, note cards, whatever you can possibly think of it being on. I'm going to tweak this one a little more a repost it, but this was the version I had for class. All images in the pattern are watercolor paintings done at real size of the utensils themselves.

A Self Portrait

From Watercolor class in the Fall. Assignment: self portrait of you as your alter ego. Thus I am a circus freak- the tattooed lady.
