Little Red

Midterms week is eating me alive, so what better to do than make banana bread waste countless hours surfing the web? Ah yes, and post to my blog :) I've been working on a design for Little Red Riding Hood for class. I just want to give her a cup of hot cocoa and tell her not to be afraid of that big, bad, good-for-nothing wolf, don't you?

Class stuff

Some stuff I've done for Joe Olson's Drawing for Animation class. We get pretty whimsical assignments, which is a nice change of pace from classes I've taken before.

I finally learned how to blend markers! So many years of frustration have come to an end.

For these hyenas I was supposed to imitate Charley Harper. Not my usual style but fun to attempt.

Traditional media!

So, every now and then I do peel my eyes away from the computer and work with traditional media. These are some watercolor and gouache sketches. I really like watercolor for sketching. I should use it more often.

Japanese stories and Western Humanities

Yup, more work stuff. I had a Japanese lit course, which was fun to do, but I'm not sure how I feel about the way the illustrations turned out.

I also worked on a western humanities course. I tried focusing on shape and using more intense colors. For some reason I always trend towards painting muddy colors, so I'm trying to be bolder with color.

Quickie Self-Portrait

Don't have much to post, just a quick little self-portrait. I'll have some more stuff to post soon. It's so late, and I want to sleep, but I must finish laundry first...

Work stuff

I create illustrations for Independent Study courses at my job. These are from an English course and a high school history course.

Older Life Drawing

These are some life drawings from Bro. Hull's Advanced Life Drawing class last fall. I learned so much in that class. The drawings are a little old now, but unfortunately I haven't gone to life drawing much since then, so these probably still represent how I handle the figure.
