The Weeping Willow
Jan 17th
My first watercolor. I drew the tree first in pencil, then I took acrylic paints and watered them down for the color.
Given to my best friend as a present, I had to wait a couple weeks to upload this one. :P I finished it a little while before I started my nachos.
Concepts: Vanessa, Sakura, Bird of Paradise
Jan 15th
Well I’ve been playing around in Photoshop again. I came up with a few somewhat different/quirky makeup concepts. I’d have to be pretty inspired to try these out on a work-day.. maybe just the colors without the elements drawn in.
In any case, here’s what I came up with!
Bird of Paradise
Inspired from Planet Earth, a tribute to the animal that made me giggle the most. I don’t have this color yet (the blueish-green) but hopefully I’ll be able to find something to be able to try it out. Might be difficult to apply it over the black, but we’ll see.
Sakura – The Cherry Blossom
I’ve always been a fan of Japanese culture and imagery, and the cherry blossom tree is pretty popular. Also an excuse for me to use more black and pink. :) I would say they’re my favorite colors to use for makeup.
Vanessa – The Butterfly
Sounds a little conceited to name one after myself so early on. But I really wanted to take something and make it mine. So, since my name is also used to classify certain species of butterflies, I decided to base my concept of them. I got to use orange, gold, and a purplish blue in this one, as well as black and white liner. I love these colors together, I may try this one without the spots tomorrow. The shading on the browbone may be a little difficult though.
