Watercolor piece I just finished about the violence in Syria and how innocent casualties are caught in the crossfire of snipers and gunmen stationed in rural houses and areas. Done totally in watercolors with a levels adjustment in Photoshop. © Amanda Todd 2012

Rough Sketch

This is a rough drawing from my reference picture for a piece I'm doing on violence in Syria. The main challenge will be to make her look like an Arabic child since she actually has very fair skin and blonde hair.

Watercolor Portraiture

This is a watercolor portrait I recently finished of Sean Connery as James Bond. Done in watercolor with a little white gouche in areas.

Digital Illustration

This piece Leo Zodiac piece combines traditional and digital media to imitate the the graphic style and technique of the Balbusso Twins. There are nearly 200 Photoshop layers in this piece. Every stroke was done made with black gouche using a dry-brush technique and then scanning it in and separating the strokes onto individual layers for transforming and coloring.

Hansel unt Gretel ja!

Here is the Hansel and Gretel watercolor illustration in it's almost final form. Critique is tomorrow, so I'll see what tweaks I should make to finish it off. Otherwise, I'm super happy with how awesome it came out!
