Stuff I've done this weekend! Hooray for four day weekends! Some shitty photography of a work-in-progress painting based on my previous preggo tribal lady, you can see how i use those acrylic paint by number paints I'm so cool amIrite? Also, a pen and ink drawing I'm planning on matting of a lady getting consumed by creepy baby hands, I was trying to be super flowy and loose and it was practice with drawing repeating lines. Then, my illustration project of an "Improbable event". I'm really proud of it.

I've done a lot of art lately, I've just been too lazy to drag out the scanner from under my bedside table and scan it. I'm trying to enhance my personal sketchbook with a lot of colored images for my end of year review this year. They saw my one/two colored images in my last sketchbook and said I had a good sense of color (AWESOME!!!) So I thought I'd load up on examples this time around, and dabble in character design and expressions (to be posted in the next one) in hopes to give oomph to my desire of sequential illustration. I've been using brush and ink, brush pens, and my old old friends--Crayola colored pencils. OH and did I mention that I found a WHITE GEL PEN after months of searching??? Overpriced in the school store, but well worth it. I'm so sad these went out of style after middle school.

Second painting for the Holiday Bazaar...I'll have to fix the hand, I just noticed it's wonky. Second image is it mounted on matte board, kinda blurry and the lady cut it crooked but whatevvvsss.

My first painting! (Not counting vase of flowers I had to paint in High School). It's on 3 4"x5" tiny canvases I bought for a dollar each at the art center when buying matte-board for Illustration class. I'm pretty happy with it! Ray says she looks Hawaiian. Or Mayan. NEAT. I used Microns, this brush pen I bought, acrylics, and colored pencils. I'm sad about the flash washing out some of her hair. IRL it's blacker than the blackest black times infinity.

Pages 3 and 4. Scroll down to view previous pages.

These are best viewed NOT zoomed in. I'd resize them if I could, but when I do it really fucks up the lining.

"how." pages 1 and 2. a small comic project I might turn into a bigger one. I guess this could be considered a storyboard, tiny thing, whatever.

A few pages from a tiny illustration Mokeskine notebook I'm trying to flesh out ideas for graphic novels with.

This one really has no substance, I was just trying out some ideas and dabbling in panel continuity.
