Update for Trapped Forest Illustration

Here is an update for what I have completed this past week for my trapped forest illustration. This one is nearly done except for the branches in the water, but I feel that is is decent enough to move onto the next piece. I plan I will have enough time to fully complete this, but I am happy with the progress right now.

Here are my two refined ideas for my forest. I didn't think I'd be doing a swamp sort of thing, but here it goes anyway.

Speed Paint 10/4/14

Man I am totally enjoying doing these speed paints. They are loads of fun, sort of an adrenaline rush. Enjoy, Madeline.

In-Class Digital SpeedPaint

So today was a bit exciting. All of us were super scared for this impromptu speed paint in class. But, I actually had a lot of fun with mine. Of course, it's not perfect, but I think it's nice to look at.

Enjoy, Madeline
