That Crazy Van Buren: Final

I scanned it. Finally! Sorry it took so long. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard I found out that the company that made my large format scanner decided not to upgrade their drivers... So it took me a bit to get around to installing the drivers on my girlfriends laptop. I got new things cookin though, so keep an eye out!

That Crazy Van Buren: Follow Up

The Final composition for the Presidential portrait for Payne's class. It's gonna be fairly limited pallet so I figured I would go ahead and post the rough with out color.

The icons at the bottom of the frame symbolize different things about Van Buren's life. The first is a windmill to show what I believe to be the embodiment of Holland (where his parents where from), the second is my homemade icon for his time in office, and the third icon is a new democratic emblem to represent his party. In case you were wondering...

That Crazy Van Buren...

This is a little character study for a Presidential porterait I have been given as one of my new projects. The goal with this is just to secure a strong likness of which ever President I decided to do. After choosing Van Buren, I figured a sketch to try to capture his "look" would be the best place to start.
