🌼 Sophie Michelle's Art Blog 🌼

Hi there, my name is Sophie Bohanan ! I'm 15 years old and I was born November 4th, 2003. I think that my art is inspired by a lot of artists that I follow on Instagram. With my usual artwork, I like to go for a realistic look with a mix of cartoony. I usually do digital artwork as it is my strong suit, but I still like the challenge of traditional! I like colored pencils as well, as I have recently found out, and I hope that I work more with them. I like to write short stories and topics on my phone about my characters I make, which I also draw extremely frequently.  My main inspiration to start art was my older sister, who draws a lot of anime and cartoon characters. She's a big inspiration to me and her artwork always makes me want to one-up her. She's very talented and I hope I meet up to her art expectations one day. One famous artist that is a very big inspiration to me is Meybi on Tumblr, with her colorful and bright characters that she draws. Her art st...

This was my third self portrait that I've done! I think that this one expresses a lot of emotion, and I was upset about this project. I feel like I could have improved in a lot of areas on this project. What I did was I set up an arrange of CD's and I drew my reflection.

This was my second attempt at a self portrait, this time I used sharpie! I think this one is a really big improvement from my original one because I used a picture reference. One thing I could have improved on would be, again, the position of the lips. I think they're a little off. Either than that, I think that this was a really good success in my book.

This was pretty much my first self portrait. I know that some areas to improve on would be the position of the lips, the size of the eyes, and a ton more factors that are apparent when you look at it. I think a great strong suit with this project is that I used colored pencil to try and get out of my comfort zone.

This project was about studying the human form and facial proportions. There was two things required for this project. One, a portrait of a friend, and two, a portrait of yourself. For the friend, I drew my friend Megan! When I first made it, I was really proud of it. Now that it has been awhile since the beginning of first semester, I think I could have done so much better on it.

This was my artwork that I did that I tried replicating Marco's Style. Here was my test sketch and a few alcohol swatches to try if I could get that jet black look.

This is a portrait of my characters of a story I'm working on. I did this earlier this year, at the beginning of the semester. I can gladly tell myself I have improved since this piece of artwork, but it still holds a nice spot in my art heart.

This is a graphic of the Coffee Shop Red, White, & Brew. I make the & sign a little person holding a coffee mug, which is snuggled into a heart for the background. I wanted a simple but effective design.

This was a collage piece that resembles a tree and a small bush with some berries. I like the way this piece looks, it gives a warm feeling when I look at it. I originally drew a regular tree, and then cut it up,  then glued the pieces to arrange in a different tree. Kinda a tongue twister!

This assignment was to create a double-sided sheet about Value. Definitions can be found on the sides, along with a value scale. On the left is a cut out photograph of a woman, and on the right side is a re-creation of the other side of her face.

This piece is in commemoration of my cat who passed away last October, Puzzle. This piece is one of my favorites because of the different medias I explored, and my values! I think a strong suit in this piece is my realistic squares that I did. I think I captured my cat's essence. 

This is a Red Breasted Robin, a noticeably round bird known for its fluffy exterior.  This scratch board drawing was used to define its almost cotton ball figure, and I worked my way to make sure the bird had texture. He's sat on a nice and warm branch.
