The Boy and Windex

This is a chine colle that I made at a print making work shop.  This was a lot of fun to make. Print making takes a lot of time but it can be worth it in the end.  For this picture I took two random objects that were around and I placed them on a wooden table.  What I like most about it is the simplicity of it is still just as intriguing as the details.  And the colors all work well together despite their contrast.  The ink that did not completely come off also added a really nice back drop effect.

(This next part has nothing to do with the picture above)

Also, I am going to try an post more pictures is if I can.  I also trying to find the time to go to a studio and do some more nude drawings.  Nude drawings have to be my favorite.  Even though I always feel awkward when I start, I love drawing the organic lines of the body.  It is really relaxing and if you have the time, I recommend finding a studio near you that does have models modeling and sit in and draw.

The Gymnast

I know it is some what hard to see, my phone does not have the greatest camera on it.  This was a quick little doodle I made of a gymnast.  I did not want it to be too literal, I just wanted the general idea of a girl doing a split into a handstand.  I also wanted to add the effect that there were flat objects such as paper and ribbons that were being twisted at places where the body can bend (stomach, elbows, knees, etc.).  I do not know if you can tell from this picture, but at each turning point it is shaded in a little darker.
