Cup O' Bears

After a really long time, I finally did another Cup O' Doodle thingy. Eventually, I turned off the original doodle and ended up getting a little far away from it. But eh, it's ok. Things I learned from this: drawing is hard, bears are cuties. 

Dutch Red

Here's a portrait of my friend Anne (who is a kick-ass illustrator, by the way. I highly recommend clicking that linky link).

Alright, so here's the deal. I was trying to do another traditionally animated lip sync and I got ridiculously frustrated with it. So, I decided to not touch it at all today and instead paint something (which is something I hadn't been able to do since the summer!).

Legend of Korra

My friend Adele and I arbitrarily proclaimed today Fan Art Monday and taking into consideration that I am currently obsessed with Legend of Korra I had to make some Korra fan art. I tried mostly using the lasso and paint bucket tool which was pretty fun. I liked doing such a loose sketch, nothing was really planned too much, which was pretty cool. 

Also, can it just be Saturday already?

Rats, Owls, and the End of the Semester

This is officially the last day of my Freshman year at Ringling. It's been a pretty weird day, but satisfying nonetheless. I feel like I have accomplished and learned a lot, even if I haven't slept much. Ringling is where I've always wanted to be and it's great to be surrounded by people that are so talented and passionate. Here's my Drawing II final, which coincidentally was the last one to be finished and the first one to be posted.

The assignment was to reinterpret the Trojan Horse story. So, I chose rats, owls and a giant piece of cheese do the job! And this is the result.

Don't Mess with my Bubble Gun!

Monster in the bedroom perspective assignment.

In which a girl imagines her stuffed animal has grown to massive proportions as she, playfully, tries to fight him off with a bubble gun. Will she be able to defeat him?

And now, for process:

First crappy thumbnail

Second pass. 

Final linework

Work-in-progress. Much experimentation with a "chalky" brush.
