i've been scared of color

I wanted to put spots of color in here but I chickened out. I'm scared i'll screw it up so I scanned it now just in case. Then I realized it didn't matter if I colored it because I did it on the wrong paper. It was a spontaneous drawing that accidentally became involved. Maybe I'll do it again on better paper, but I really hate doing things over.

Another quick drawing I did right before the top one.

Now I know for sure my scanner is shit city. The shirt in this drawing was painted with neon gouache. I know it doesn't scan well in general, but I've had more success with other scanners getting closer to true color in the past. Anyway I was jotting down some opinions I had about art and how important the hand of the artist is to me when I drew this.


"going back to rehab" - once again scan looks shitty, neon colors are lost.

With these two (for my sister and Sabrina), I might want to go back and actually paint something on the beads:

This is an earring I invented for myself, I have large (but quickly shrinking) hole in each of my lobes from when I used to stretch them out for plugs. I used feathers, wood beads, and colored string. It ties into a bow around my lobe:

Other than that, been working in my sketchbook and reading.

Hey, has anyone heard anything about Portfolio 30???

shitty scanner

I miss SVA in moments like these. I'm not sure if this is done yet either. It's just something I did for fun on my day off, but maybe I should add some color? Fix something? More contrast? Anyone?
