DIY and Some Art Projects

Since we don't have a whole lotta school this week, (some of you have the whole week off, I only have Monday and Tuesday!) I thought I would post some projects that I've been working on. They are all in progress... The first project I want to share is a felting project! I have been sitting around with some felt and needles for some time now and haven't settled on a project. I have also been wanting to use this image in a project somewhere. I did not simply want to recreate a painting or drawing of it .

 

So I had the brilliant idea to use this image and start felting. I recently was going through my closet, getting rid of things I didn't want. I have a yellow sweater that I like the fit of, but the color just is a little off to me. I was almost going to give it away when I thought it would be perfect for this project. Here's where I'm at so far. 

I am going to add the tress branches and the sun/moon behind her, however I want to add color. I love the blue but I'm not sure how it will look with the yellow of the sweater. I will update as I move along. 

I'm also working on some character art for a very dorky game that I play that will remain nameless. I play every Thursday night with my fiance's brother and friends. We have a great time, but the person in charge of character art made my female rogue character look like an Asian waitress. And no disrespect, but that's just not what I had in mind. I want to be a swash buckling, daredevil of a character. Therefore I am working on this colored pencil drawing so I can show all those boys how it's done. I think I've finally pinned down the face (after several redos). Here's where it is currently:

 

Lastly, I had a student ask me on Friday if I could draw anything!? When I answered that I felt pretty confident that given time, I could draw pretty much anything, he disbelieving asked if I could draw a dragon. To prove my point and since I wanted a new project over this long weekend, I told him I would draw a dragon for him. I wanted to make the dragon quite scale-y which I'm now regretting because it's going to take forever and be tedious. Oh well... can't disappoint a student!

 

Thank you for checking them out! It's nice to share on occasion.

Enjoy your mid-winter break all those who get one! Stay warm!
