Wise

At first , this sketch was just supposed to be a Portrait of a woman but Instead I sketched half of an owl and decided to eliminate her lips. After completing the sketch, I went in with pen and used organic, cross-hatching and contour lines to define this drawing.  This is my favorite piece because of my color choice. I decided to add colors that weren't associated with owls , like purple, greens, and blue. I carried out a wash with drip lines at the top and bottom to give it a vintage look.

To Fly

With just a few rough lines to define the shape of a woman floating , I went in with a pen to create the look of a flowing dress. I used cross-hatching to outline her shape and then I used heaving contour lines to create the silhouettes of the birds. In the end, I decided to add color so I used water color and mixed yellow and orange. I watered them to create a cloudy look .

Free

To start this piece, I just created a sketch with rough lines and went over it with water color and India ink.  I layered different shades of warm colors such as yellow, orange , and red. After i was satisfied with the depth that the colors created, I went in with a pen to define the lines of the details on her face and define the texture on the raven.

Lost in the woods

This first drawing is composed of water color and ink. I started off with s simple sketch of a boy's silhouette and added green, blue, and yellow water color. I added a few layers to create depth and then made the water color fade off. I then went in and sketched trees with a pencil then I went over with pen and created hatch marks to give it a natural woods look. Then I added a few birds silhouette to create a busy enviorment.
