Zoo Scribbles

Went to the artists day at Como Zoo on Sunday morning. Here are some of my better sketches of the animals.

African Lioness
First attempt at watercoloring at the zoo. I need way more practice with that obviously.

Massive Art Post

Finally got access to the good school scanner, so here's a few things that I created since December 2009. Once I find my digital camera, I'll try and get some pictures of my paintings soonish. And I'll try my best to posting to this more frequently, though this sparatic uploading isn't surprising. I was never very good at keeping up with a diary even though I attempted many times, so if I disappear again for a little bit-that's why.

This is a just a page of an art game I've been playing to make my lines more confident. Basically any line I draw, I have to fully commit to and make it work. And it has been working, I feel like my line quality is much better now after playing this game.

I've always thought Rudolph isn't as great as he is portrayed, in fact, he's probably a jerk in real life.

Below are life-drawings I did with watercolors and ink.

Commercial Holidaze Comic

Just a fun comic I quickly did today during class based on the observation of how the commercial industry treats certain holidays this time of year.

Back to Uploading

So it's been almost 3-4 months since I last posted. Sorry for the serious lack of uploads. I kind of fell out of habit of using the computer during the summer and so fell out of habit of uploading. But I'm back to uploading-I have tons of stuff to upload, I just need to find a scanner to do a proper job of scanning b/c my scanner is in the process of dying (oh joy :/ ).

But for now, here's some photoshop doodles I did this weekend while watching Recess on youtube. Nothing too serious, but they were all fun to draw. Enjoy!

Weekly Assignment #6

I realize pretty much no one else from my school is doing this anymore, but I think it's good practice and it's helped me add some great life drawing pieces to my portfolio, so I'm just going to keep trucking along with the weekly assignments. This week was to draw 3 landscapes. I took over my sister's nannying job for the week which gave me lots of time and new places to draw. So here it goes:

At one of the kid's baseball games. I need to learn how to draw straight lines.

At Cascade Bay, a community pool. Fun but challenging to draw. Could have attempted drawing the water better than I did, but otherwise, this is my favorite of the 3.

Weekly Assignment #5

Another weekly assignment-draw 10 people. The first two are from the nursing home my grandma is at. My mom and I went to visit her and my grandpa and they had this happy hour event-a good time to draw lots of old people (who are incredibly fun to draw....even more so than morbidly obese people!). The third set is from Dunn Bros. and the last one is of a rabbit at Petco (first time drawing a real rabbit!). I'm happy with how this turned out, I didn't have the stiffness problem like I did with the last set up of the people I drew.
