Little Hippie Sketch

Here's something I've been forgetting to post for a while.

Finals "approacheth". My plate's been full of random things, which will appear here soon.

Check out the work of the awesome Derek Thompson, who came by Otis for a 3 day workshop past month, and provided a lot of useful info.

Nathan Fowkes Color Demo

Hey everyone! This weekend, I was lucky enough to attend a color workshop at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art taught by the amazing Nathan Fowkes. He was very clear and concise, taught very useful information, and was nice enough to let us photograph the demo.
So as I promised, I'm posting the process shots. Unfortunately the image quality is not super high, but these were the better ones I got.
It's also ironic, that this is a color workshop, and there's no way the colors would ever come out the same in the photos (and everyone's screens).
It was great meeting everyone at the workshop! Hope everyone enjoyed it like I did.

PS: For those who are confused, the images go from top to bottom, starting from the left hand side.


Here's what I got to do there. The color keys were quite fun, and so were the quick portraits. The colors are off on the screen (duh), but as you can see, I had a lot of fun.

Thumpermania

Studying thumper as a character design.
Good times.

draw draw draw your boat gently down the stream...

Hola! Long time no see.
I decided I'd drop here a few drawings from my studies.
Yes. I like fashion. And I like dancing.
Expect more.
Over and out.

The Blue Jay And The Peacock

Hi everyone! I thought I'd add more work to support that lonely peacock illustration I posted a while ago... These were done weeks ago, and I barely found the time (more like, made time) to clean them up for you.
Here are some quick sketches for the characters, and a drawing of the "Peacock Residence".



I hate posting with watermarks, but since the new "Orphan Works Legislation" has passed, all artists need to be super careful with their public work. Thank you new legislation, for making our lives harder by releasing our rights to our own works.
All in all, this was a quick design breakdown for a short story. Please enjoy!!

Jorinda & Joringel

Holla! I know I've been slacking on the posting duty, but I haven't been lazy. In fact I find myself running from one thing to another and not having a moment to catch up with life...
Here are a few sketches for drawing the fantastic with Bill. We were asked to take the story "Jorinda & Joringel" and turn the characters into animals. Here are some character and environment exploration sketches...

Senior Year. Get Set. Go!

Hi everyone!!
So "senior year" started two weeks ago. I'm super excited about what is to come, and to see what my fellow classmates are going to come up with.
My schedule is already getting busy, with thesis work and everything else, but I'm going to try to keep the blog updated.
Here's a quick sketch of one of the peacocks from the fable where the blue jay wants to become one of them and fails.. fun.

Finally! A Monkey With Taste...

Coz tea rocks!
An old sketch I found in a sketchbook that needed some polishing... Hope you all dig it!

Mr Toad

Hi Everyone!

After a short break, I'm back to the drawing/painting, and here's something I did to warm up a little. Without further hullabaloo, I give you Mr.Toad!

Doodle Time

Hi everyone! I had some time in my hands, so I did a few random sketches.
Hope you likes it!
