Frank Frazetta passed away at age 82


I just read the news that Frank Frazetta (02-28-1928) passed away yesterday at age 82, after having a stroke. When I was 12 years old I first discovered his work, and was enormously attracted to it. His work has since influenced my own art. His death is a major loss to the art world.

Figure drawing class with water-colour

Oleta Adams

Less than an hour ago I was at a concert of Oleta Adams, and was standing in the first row. What a fantastic experience to hear a woman sing so beautifully! Unforgettable.

Tryout # 2 at water colouring



Another go at water-colouring. The girl has a somewhat 'Jeanne d'Arc'-like quality about her. This one's as large as a postcard; I'll definately work on a larger scale next time.

Watercolour mix-up


Aargh!!;)
While working on a watercolor drawing, I made a big mistake: I used a tissue to soak up a large spot of water. The result was a hard edge on the cheek of the girl.

New illustration in the making..



A new illustration I'm working on; I plan to add text and skew the picture somewhat...I'll post the finished one soon!

Pixar

Yesterday I applied for an internship at Pixar Animation Studios. I'm very anxious to see if I receive a positive reaction on my work!

Life drawings from the zoo

Today I spend at the zoo in Amersfoort. The sun was shining and all the animals were playful; it was a real treat to sketch them!

Life drawings and an illustration sketch

Two life drawings...one of my sweet sister! And a sketch from my parents barn.
The last sketch is for a revision of the Maria/Breath of Heaven illustration from a few posts ago....looking back at it I think it doesn't work. Now I try to make a more sober 'Mucha-esque' version instead.
