More Artist Trading Cards

#3. I realized later why the pyramids didn't look as good as they should have--I sprayed the shade up and down instead of at an angle. Oh well, I actually redid this one for Hill, because she really wanted it, but I had to trade it in class. Kirk Logan (who I had known since 4th grade) now has it.

#4. This was one of my other favorites--I loved the texture because I did a lot of layering and scraping (with a palette knife) and in the end the spray of the water could be felt, as could the grooves making the highlights of the rocks.
#5. The shading on this planet was awesome, though I ruined it with a terrible background--I was trying to make a few comets, but that backfired and it now looks like a spaceship/UFO or something. It's harder than I thought to keep clarity with spray paint on such small dimensions. Seth Crandall, Mr. Sterling Scholar, ended up with this one.

#6. I tried to recreate the amazing shading effect of the planet above and failed miserably, not to mention the atrocious composition. Two subjects=bad, (generally) three=great.
