H.R. Walsh Art

So this year I started at Animation Mentor! It’s been an awesome experience so far! This is my progress reel from Class 1.

Figure drawings from this fall semester.

Some elevation sketches for my architecture design class. Two facades of the same building.

Inktober so far. Film studies from "True Grit" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".

The moon outside my house the other night. The pictures don't even do it justice.

So my old Betta, Sendack, just passed away last month. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get another one yet, but then I saw this guy at the pet store where I work. His fins looked pretty bad but he was ridiculously spunky. So, here he is tearing around his new home like a nutcase.

Last assignment for Steve Ahn’s drawing workshop. The focus was on style, so I decided to push myself in a more anime direction, since anime is a new visual influence for me. I ended up shooting for more of a Marvel/DC animated tv show mixed with Legend of Korra, so some of the American style crept back in.

Clothing practice from Steve Ahn's drawing workshop. Years ago I used to do clothing studies regularly, but that's been a long-forgotten habit as of late. This was definitely a reminder of where I need to focus on improving. Used characters from my webcomic, since I needed to develop some upcoming costume changes.

More stuff from Steve Ahn's drawing workshop.

Timed figure drawings from Steve Ahn's drawing workshop. Great class for focusing your drawing skills.

Acrylic painting for a project for my town's library. It's a cool project where artists and writers start with a prompt, then have to do a work off of it. What they made is then passed on to the next writer/artist, who uses it as inspiration for a piece. At the end, all the pieces are lined up and everyone gets to see how the original prompt was changed from person to person. My piece was based off a short story about hunting in Autumn.

A collage made from National Geographic photos and acrylic paint.

First landscape painting. Last assignment for painting 2.

Second Still Life.

Still life with fruit and a deck light.

First still life. Folded paper.

My first painting from my painting 1 class; a color matching exercise.
