Hiya.

Hey there! I've got a couple of names, but you can just call me scolles, the way my wrists are fractured. Young artist, art major, and Carpal King--this is my "professional" account with all my finished works! Mixed media artist--and I'm looking to take commissions!

[scolles]

And here's my first and latest commission, plus the study I did as a proof-of-concept for my client, the pen used, and [with permission] the reference!

The full piece measures 9x12, and is rendered entire with ballpoint pen on Bristol board. I actually only used the 5 colors on that pen for this whole piece--red, orange, dark blue, dark green, and purple! I avoided the black entirely, save for a tiny bit on the eyes.

And, now, for possibly one of my most time-consuming pieces, and definitely my most intensive drawing... The apples.

The piece measures 11x14 inches total, I believe not counting the border, and consists of 393 [trust me, I counted] individually rendered apples all done in oil pastel. Some of them only took a few short minutes to render, and some took up to 40 due to me not having some colors and having to re-render an entire section, since this was my second ever piece with the medium and I was learning as I went. There's easily over 30 hours of work that I put into this, and getting it done was.. Definitely a journey, lol. Video essays and VCs honestly kept me sane throughout this one, so.. Hopefully y'all like it! :P

Self Portrait, ballpoint pen, 9x12 inches

This is a self-portrait I did earlier this year! Iirc it's 9x12 inches big, and it was all done with one BIC ballpoint pen! I actually think I still have it lying around somewhere, but ballpoint pen--and especially the red BIC ones--has become a main medium of mine, and one of my favorites to work with along with my choice for sketching, so when I was tasked with doing a self-portrait for class, it only seemed fitting to use! The whole piece only took me around 5 days of light, on-and-off work, which I'm pretty proud of! Censored the face for doxxing reasons, but I honestly think the whole piece turned out really well! Unfortunately, I did cut off a sizeable chunk of it when I was trying to crop it for a frame, lol.

Falcon Linocut, 8x10

A linocut I did ~2 years back! One of my classes brought in live animals for us to sketch--including this falcon named Amelia! I liked my sketch, so I took a picture so I could keep working on it at home, and I actually wound up using it for my next assignment of making a print of one of our drawings! I had to stylize it some, but I'm really proud of the end result! If you zoom in, you can see that I carved in crosshatching on the glove, though the fluff lines on the torso were honestly more of a pain. Each print is roughly 8x10 inches big, and I actually still have the stamp, which I kinda want to try something with!

A couple of pieces I did for class earlier this year that I didn't think warranted a solo post--mediums are oil pastel, graphite [unfinished piece], pen and watercolor, and just watercolor for the last two!
