Character Design II - Lesson 6 [Designing from Storyboards]

Here's another lesson! For this one, I had to clean up a storyboard sketch an then draw that character in another pose. Also, as a little bonus assignment, I had to take a picture of something in the home and then draw what I see in that object. Inspiration! (Click to enlarge)

Character Design II - Lesson 5 [Reference]

  Week 5! Reference! I picked a pic of a cute tarsier just because they are so unique and I love their bug eyes (: . I made my picture into a sort of children's alphabet book page.

Character Design II - Lesson 4 [Drawing Women]

Week 4! Drawing the lady figure. We had to draw three waitresses in three different body shapes. I did banana, hourglass, and pear shapes. The banana-shaped chick is my favorite. She doesn't really care what you want to order, she just wants her shift to be over...

Character Design II - Lesson 3 [Caricature Characters]

 Week number three and I was assigned to make a caricature of someone famous. It was a tough choice, but I picked Nathan Lane in the movie "The Producers" as Max Bialystock. I think I did pretty well ( and so did Stephen Silver!). *fist pump*

Character Design II - Lesson 2 [Different Styles]

  This is week 2 for my class and I did AMAZING! And I'm not just saying that, Stephen said so too! I am super flattered and beaming from my video feedback from the class. Especially when he said he would hire me in a heart beat for what a terrific job I did on the assignment and how I paid attention to using the style of the show with my characters. Again, he couldn't think of anything to add or critique on. Feelin great! :D .

Character Design II - Lesson 1 [Character Design Review]

 So! I haven spent good money once more at the amazing Schoolism.com and am currently enrolled in Character Design II with Stephen Silver (Hurrah!) I am very excited that he made another more advanced class for one of my most favorite things in the world: character designing! Here is my submission for Lesson One, just a basic review on character designing and working with the Golden Mean and what not. I always feel so rusty on the first assignments :P ...

Paintings for a Friend

 So... these took quite a while, but they are finally finished! I hope you enjoy (: !

Fretting

    I got struck by inspiration and painted this fair lady (: .

Kowai!! Run, Birdie, Run!

  A late Character Design Shuffle Friday Challenge image. I think I have a thing with challenges... =P

The Final Verdict: Delicious!

  So I hopped on to the Character Design Shuffle facebook group/app and the random selection I got was:

Character : Hummingbird
Gender : Female
Outfit : Judge
Action : Fishing
Body Type : Average
Expression : Amazed

And so.. voila! (:

Skull Critter

  Trying new techniques/approaches.... with one of my many skull creatures.

Phantom Brat

  I thought I'd mess around with a bit of Painter and a bit of Photoshop for this little ghoul. ( :  

"Too cute to be taken seriously! Hrmph!"

Digital Painting Class - Lesson 9 [Part 2]

  Soooo sad! But sooo excited to post this. This is my last assignment with the amazing Bobby Chiu and it was SO VERY MUCH worth a chunk of my life ( : . I learned so much about painting and my skills have sharpened. This is my version of Big Foot (his name is Big Feets). He is the long lost and a little derranged cousin of Big Foot, lurking in the forest, hiding from them pesky humans.... But he's so cute! Ha ha ha. Enjoy : D !

Digital Painting Class - Lesson 8 & 9

  Apologies! I totally forgot to post last week's lesson, but I guess that it ties into this week's lesson, so no harm done. Lesson 9 IS THE LAST LESSON with Bobby Chiu, which is sad but also exciting. It was a thrill and an amazing experience to learn so much from Bobby in such short time and it has definitely improved my skills as an artist ( : . Lesson 8 focused on colour sketching and Lesson 9 was about colour finishing. The first image is a sketch done by Bobby. The second is the colour sketching (done by me). The final image is the finished product (also done by me!). Stay tuned for next week when I post my own bonus assignment piece. I am very excited about it and I hope you all enjoy it as well! ( :

I Want to Be in Your Bubble

  Just taking some doodle time for myself. It's me jumping into my boyfriend's (Tyson) bubble. We are being separated for the next year and some due to personal and financial reasons and I miss him so. But 20 more days, baby! Then I'll be in Sask. for a visit :D !
