Puppet

I worked on a mini project over the summer last year. I created a puppet from the Legend of Korra show- Amon!!! I really loved how intimidating and exceptionally skilled he was. I felt he fulfilled the antagonist role quite nicely.

The Amon puppet and my lovely shoulder.

Without the mask on, he's (Noatak) who loves taking pictures of himself really close to the camera lens.                                       

Sketches

Some observational sketches I did to pass the time at school and while I was at Macy's. 

Falling

I tried to imitate a pixelated dream I had. It was really neat, especially the colors! Too bad I can't really remember most of it or what it was about.

Kick

A night doodle for today. I can't believe it's almost April!

Figure Drawing

As I waited for the model to arrive, I sketched out the guitarist who played during the beginning of the session.

         

                                               

I did a figure drawing session at the YWCA in Santa Monica. The session began with two to five minute sketches and then ten to fifteen minute sketches.

Color Theory

My color theory homework assignment. It's based on California Impressionism and I had to repaint the original painting into a digital version of it. Took me forever but it was worth it.

Charcoal

It's been awhile since I did a charcoal drawing, so I did a ten minute profile view of my little sister. Still need some practice!

Billy

I forgot to upload this other sketch of my friend's dog. Meet Billy Joe!

Class

This is a drawing done in photoshop during my animation class. You can spot me peeking over the cintiq. 

Pocket sketches

Here is Jasper! He was slept in different positions and whenever he was in the same pose, I continued drawing the background until  he changed his sleeping position again.

These are sketches of the neighbor's cat I drew in my pocket sketch book. 

Ole Man Ellie

Ellie is my next door neighbor. He brought over some homemade bread for us, which my sister took gratefully. It was tasted delicious.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Goat

A friend of mine had a pet goat named Pepito for awhile. I sketched Pepito out first and then retraced the drawings on photoshop and added a little bit of color. I wished I sketched out how Pepito acted more like a dog than a goat (though I'm not sure what goats are supposed to act like but the idea of goats chewing clothes comes to mind).

This is the finalized image of Homura. I was going to leave it as it was before, but I felt it was too compressed in the first one. Enjoy!
