Bye Bye Birdy

A couple of days ago we found a little bird sitting on our porch. It's wing and leg were hurt, so we put it in a box and took care of it that day. It turned out it was a nuthatch which is a protected species, so the next day we took it to the zoo where it will be healed and then set free :)

Style Practice

This is just another experiment. I was curious how well can I adapt to the color and style of an existing movie. Hercules seemed to be a good material for this since it has an easily identifiable look.

Sea Mood

Moving on with the lighting thing. I've been in an oceany mood today, so I tried an underwater scape. It's rather just a sketch though, I didn't do much research, it more just came to me.

Lighting study

Meet Gull. From now on he's going to be my object for practising how to do lighting. I chose him to be a seagull so that he only has a few colors that are easy to handle in different lighting environments.

I'm Free!!

The second semester's over, the evaluation went well, there are only a couple of exams left, so it's time to relax!

Jungle matinée

Still in Madagascar mood

Drawing studies

I've found my portfolio from last year. That year was all about skeletons... haven't seen so many ever since. At least they made me appreciate live models :)

Hawaiian Beauty

I've just received The Art of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and it seems very promising. I haven't had the time yet to be absorbed in it, but I couldn't resist to make a quick sketch of Gloria. I made it by memory though, so it doesn't check up in every detail.

Fall

Meeting the Friendly Lamantin

Polyvore

I like this theme so much, that I created a set according to Peter Pan earlier on Polyvore too.

Second star to the right...

Tried a different approach, but I'm sure this was the first and at the same time the last painting I did in such a mushy style...

Me and my friend

Historian

Saw this guy on TV in some kind of history related program and he was very characteristic.

Giant wiffle ball

There's a sculpture on the backyard of our university that I like, although I'm not quite sure what it is. It looks like a giant wiffle ball or something like that. Anyway it looked very nice in the afternoon sunshine the other day, so I made a painting of it.
