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...

...Or just the one, with plastic (because Robin Eley is just ridiculously amazing with it, very inspiring). Thought I should try it out for the new year as a first challenge :D

semi-close up

so you can tell how much FUN this thing was x_x

but I think tackling the plastic was more difficult.

At 95% the plastic was accidentally blown away and my heart stopped for a second, almost wanted to flip my table! :P

 I painted this oil version first tho, 

just for the sake of painting traditionally.

Clothespins ftw :P

Happee 2013, dudes!

( ^0^)v

I've been inspired to pick up watercolors again after browsing through Kim Jung Gi's books and Tiffanny Varga's tutorial vids ;)

Here are my attempts w/o under drawings XD

My niece a while back.

shapes and values

Hi folks!

Here are a couple of works in progress. 

Shapes and values first, and then details later...

Finally, something traditional, yay! Oil on panel, 11x14.

I should lighten the trees a little...

Photo ref was taken in Montreal last year, but forgot to post here.

It's still on my fb tho ^^;

Thanks for stopping by! :3

Explorations :)

Hello again!

Some of these look silly...

Hope you like them anyway :D

It's always nice to practice different ways of painting, drawing, etc. 

because I learned so much on my own and from friends (thanks!)

 A couple of characters... not quite finished lol

Uhm... this needs a lot of work =_=;

Everybody likes drawling Whitney! :P

B/W from photo.

Sketching from life is always fun~

  

It's V! Looks so innocent and young lol...

It's best to just look at the thumbnail version of this because it's so loose haaa

This is my first storyboard ever (so don't expect much lol). Our assignment was a simple "personal story." There wasn't much instruction in the first week, but I really tried and had fun anyway :) I had great critiques (thanks!) I really hope I do better because I'm considering color scripting as well! I need landscape painting too!

Sketchbook! I sketched a shinigami dude (in photoshop) because the skull was a little lonely :'(

Another skull study (oil) hooray!

Thanks for stopping by!
