"The Spirit of Emulation"

So this semester I have Heidi Younger for my General Illustration IV class. Our first project is behind us and I am extremely proud of it... it was based on the article/short story "The Spirit of Emulation" which is about animals and stuff (blah blah blah), and this is what I came up with:

Ta-da! Done in acrylic paint on a nice untextured cardboard-ish surface, here she is, probably one of the best paintings I've ever completed. This semester I've decided that I need to push myself in this medium, because I love to paint and I've just been so afraid of it.

Anyway, so, yeah. Happy February :) but for the love of god, no more snow please!!

OH and my boyfriend got me these beautiful daisies for no good reason, I thought I'd share them with you. No one has ever gotten me flowers for no good reason before :) They bring me so much happiness, they're so beautiful! Enjoy!

  1. hahah I love the snake's googly eyes.

    also, this is very nicely done. I felt the same way about painting, I like it a lot, but I was scared of using it. I'm slowly becoming better at using it, and you're showing a great significance that you are as well :)
