Wingardium Leviosa

Here's the start to some soon to be Harry Potter fan art. This is not going to be based off the movie characters, but my own representation of them. On the chopping block tonight is the lovely Hermione Granger. 

Frustration!

Welcome to the life of an artist I suppose! No one ever told me how much struggle and hard work this was going to be. I guess I just imaged that being an artist was fun all the time; that you constantly find relief and joy in your work. Maybe it's just because I'm still a student, but there seems to be more fight and confusion. I have been especially worried today by my lack of style. I know so many amazing artists that have created the most unique ways of expression. People have told me that it comes with time and practice. Although I have seen great improvement in my work, I don't see any uniqueness coming through. This worries me because, what if it holds me back in school? What if I never find it? An artist markets themselves by their style!!! AHHHHH! What am I to do?!?!? I guess I'll take some advice from my dear friend Liz Lemon.

p.s. I've opened up the comments so that anyone can write me. You don't have to have a blogger account. I would love to hear some feedback :)

WIP!

Here's tonight's WIP. Inspired by beautiful La Mesa California!

Completed version coming soon :)

New Painting

Hello world! So many wonderful things have happened since my last post! I can officially say that I have been to Comic Con and it was so much fun :D Also, both of my pieces that were entered in Del Mar Fair won first place. One of my works even won best of class and best of show. I'll post those pictures soon. Anyway, here is a new/old mini painting. I did this one a few months ago, I just never posted it. I'm working on a few other paintings at the moment but they are unfinished.
