IG stuff

I started using instagram a few months ago. It's a lot easier, but this blog is still more personal. :) I wish there was an easier way to share images from instagram to blogger, like I recently tried on tumblr. I'm lazy sometimes ^^; Also, I'm new to these things, so trying to keep up.

Artflow app on my galaxy note5 is now my favorite way to sketch everywhere.

I had to return note7, the exploding one T_T

Sketchbook pro is my favorite software for line work

It's been a while! #2: Sketch dump

I've been kinda living under a rock and now crawling out after 1 year and 8 months lol.

Some fun doodles:

Studies from photos:

my favorite Fifth Element scene hehe =P

ink and stuff

SketchBook Pro

Photoshop

 Inktober doodles on scrap paper. Just wanted to try my brush pen without under-drawing to break my bad habit of erasing too much.

some doodles

Portrait practice and sketches inspired by Vikings and GoT. Definitely included things I learned from Henry Yan and Zimou Tan. I'm itching to push this further but I really want to continue with my cartoony project!

When I accomplish challenges in my paintings, I reward myself by drawing girly stuff.

 Some pages on my mini sketchbook.

illustrations

Style explorations :)

Because Julia wanted to see my Baldur's Gate 2 character lol.

Trying to be painterly.

fun class

One of those random days.

Watercolors.

Pirates for hire.

I just finished a class at CGMA, Character Design for Animation, taught by Nate Wragg. I thought this was very challenging, since I don't really have any animation background. I have a long way to go, but at least I'm off to a good start.

Never been in an animal anatomy class, so photo studies for now...

I'm so girly!

 For those who wondered why I titled some posts halo-halo...

 It's because I like variety in art :P

Plus, it's one of my favorite desserts, lol.

More studies :)

Practicing sketchbook pro. (Cafe Java U).

Another portrait session :) watercolors.

Someday, I'll be faster!

(Oops, I meant to post this one) ^^;

 3 hour pose. My first portrait session this year... finally! Met some cool folks there. I'll probably do this once a week, and practice some traditional stuff too. 

old

Files I found after cleaning up my old, but still useful, '07 laptop :)

Well, these aren't that old, maybe from 2010/11.

 I keep forgetting my books at home T_T

From life. I think I only posted this on my FB. 

From a photo

On and off, but still in progress... 

sketchbook pro brushes.

Sometimes I get lost browsing for hours  =P

 CCSF 2007:

 I loooove sketching on the samsung series 7 slate with sketchbook pro. Supa smooth!

~*~

A few studeeeeez from life last December:

  Flight from SF to Montreal. I was watching the last Ice Age at the same time. Supa funny!

Wotacawluh. Only the chick with a hairbun had an under drawing, SIG!

I miss AAU's workshops! (above and below)

Brushpen, 1-3 minutes. 

It's been a while, so RUSTY aaaaarrrgghh DX

Something I've been practicing for a while. Since I'm still not very good with perspective, I've decided to block in props, interiors, etc. using sketchup, and then design and paint over them. I know, I know, you purists you, settle down. Eventually I'll use it less. I actually find modeling pretty fun anyway. A huge headache in the beginning, but it's very useful. Also, since we have a 3D printer, maybe I'll design some miniature things and airbrush on top as giveaways or something :D

One last thing...

Rich and I are planning on making tutorial vids on YT. Nothing fancy, more like a vlog style, covering anything we encounter on our daily/weekly art adventures. It'll be fun for us and useful to you! Hopefully it'll be entertaining too. Best part is, they'll be FREE, woohoo! (Rhyming is fun, lol). We're really looking forward to helping out those in need, and generally share how we do things, to the curious ones ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
