Official Website until my Official Website

My darling husband is a Computer Information Technology major, so he was going to build me a website from scratch, but he keeps on taking anywhere from 16 to 19 credits! Crazy busy, so to create an online portfolio he got me a wordpress blog and helped me put it together, because I'm not nearly as computer savy as him.
Anyway. I was applying for an internship, which I didn't get. Hey, its okay folks! I promise. I'm very happy with the awesome art classes I'm taking this summer. But here is a link to my portfolio website. Its all my finished/ really good stuff, some of which is on here, but a lot isn't. So check it out! http://casgrace.com/

Impossibility~Illustration Friday

Flying cars and robot birds... impossible.

Kisses!!! ~a sketch

So the women in my family are little round the middle and a little extra round the hips. As a little girl I thought this was the ideal body shape. It is certainly nice for latin dancin that for sure! Just for fun lil sketch I finished in photoshop. Very girly. My niece would love all the pink.

Octo-Crane in Color!

Amber is this easier to see? I know that line drawing made everybody a little crosseyed, so I hope this works better. I really had a blast doing this piece. It felt like a success and as a student those sometimes seem few and far between. Anywho, enjoy!

Fleeting~ Illustration Friday

I love lightning shows (please note the popcorn), but the lightning always is over too soon. The jagged flashes of light are so momentary, I try to capture them, but the image always fades. Fleeting...
So do I totally sound like a tortured wannabe writer? Muahahahahaha. My plan is working!

Poise ~ Illustration Friday

Poise means grace and elegance in bearing. So I did a beautiful woman...cliche I know, but I've really been working on my faces. My husband also got me a Bamboo wacom tablet and I love it so I started working this in color. (Its originally a pen drawing on paper)


This is really preliminary and I want to keep going. I'm still a bit new to photoshop, so it takes me super long, but I'm excited to turn a new page!
Ps I really want to do this "Poise" topic again, but as a feral teenage girl poised to attack/ drooling over a cute boy, because poise can mean suspended or ready to do something.

More Food Characters

It took me a while to finish them, but I'm glad I got around to it. They're pretty small, but since there was no dead line there wasn't the guilt or pressure... so nice. I think I like the bread smoochin the jam the best!
