PASTELS AGAIN

Random sketchbook dump, and pastels. The top is a study of my backyard, the bottom is drawn in high park. The bottom one was drawn with a pastel set i discovered in my room from a couple years ago. It was missing any reddish greens, so it was hard to get believable greens.
I had to wait at Union Square San Francisco by myself one day because i was waiting to do an orientation with a company called CDS that runs a program for foreign students coming to the states, so i drew the square.

The sketch of the fish was done in an aquarium in san fran. I was mesmorized. All anchovies do is swim in circles. There were over 500 of them in a huge tank just swimming counter clockwise the entire time i was in there they did not deviate off course. Also they have a hyper extended jaw, everytime they open their mouth it looks like they are disconnecting all the bones in their face.

LEARNING TO PAINT

During my 3 month internship at Pixar i had the opportunity to study painting with pastels under Bill Cone. I have been wanting to learn to paint and understand colour for a long time and was very greatful to have that opportunity.
Learning about colour was an eye opening experiance.
These are the pastels from Bills class.
I wanted to post a couple of my recent pastels aswell, but i do not have the scanner connected yet. I will post them as soon as i can. I want to keep exploring the medium, i find that it is helping me alot with composition and my personal illustrations.
