At the Hop WIP 3



This is probably all that I will be doing for tonight, I didn't get as much done as I wanted but I will have to complete it tomorrow. It's just been hard focusing this weekend and managing all the work.

The fries look a little too pale but I wanted to keep the fries light so that the bird's head would really pop. I will probably decide more about it once I am further along.

Line art for Peacock lady

A crappy picture of the line art for my peacock lady. Lol I reallllly should scan it.

At the Hop WIP 2


A bit more pastel has been added, I know she is very orange but I really wanted to give her one of those fake orange tans to play up the ditziness of her character. I might tone it down a bit though.

At the Hop WIP


This is a picture of my illustration project in progress, I really want to take pictures of it as I complete it just so I can see how it goes. The images aren't the best quality and it's really hard to make out a lot of the detail but it would be far too much work to scan it in pieces and than put it together and upload it.

This is it after I put down the pencil sketch and a bit of pastel. Nothing too exciting yet.

Class Work - At the Hop!


This is my final comp for my illustration class. The teacher really likes this one so I decided to go with it. The final project is on colored canson paper, we have to use black and white pastel and another color of our choosing. I ended up choosing red for my paper and orange for my color. I will be posting images as I finish it.

Due date is Monday so wish me luck!

Practice with watercolor


I just wanted to practice around with different watercolor techniques, this one is definitely different from my usual style. I don't really like it as much, I feel like it's really sloppy. I added this one to DA jut because it had been so long since I updated, but I think I might take it down or move into scraps just because of how juvenile the painting looks.

Quaker Oats is Oh so yummy!


I am not sure how to explain this one, I was feeling very irritated, I just got done with a big illu project so I just wanted to do something silly. My friend Tito had drawn some pictures using the Mc Donalds people and I thought I would try it with the sexy Quaker oats man, only I think I may have taken it a little too far xDD

WIP Art Trade


This is an art trade, I am doing with my friend Tito. It is of her characters: Mabel, Turner and Crumpet. The basic idea is that Mabel is trying to read her book when she is distracted by Crumpet's tantrum, and Turner immediately tries to quiet her down since he knows how annoyed Mabel will get lol. The End.

I still need to find a better placement for the characters and sketch in a background(which I loathe). I have never been able to quite grasp backgrounds!

More character sketches


These are the mermaid concepts, the text for it goes along the lines of " I was lonely child when I met the mermaid, and no one believed me". My professor said we could be creative with it, so I figured since it said he was " lonely " the mermaid probably was a figment of his imagination and it wasn't some fantasy book. So I thought it would be cute if maybe the mermaid was actually just his pet fish.

Hope the professor likes it.

Breaks and Hair balls

Winter break was wonderful, I spent a lot of time with my family and just hanging out at the apartment with my boyfriend.

Classes have officially started up, and I have survived my first week of classes. I want to start getting better with posting on my blog, because I do have fun with it when I actually get around to posting things. So here is some stuff from my illu class. We are doing a BW ink drawing from a selected text he gave us. I already did the thumb nails and I am working on the character sketches now. I am split though, I like two of the stories, the one about the hairy men and the one about the mermaid. I will probably ask my teacher tomorrow which one he prefers based on my sketches.

















Hairy men <3
