Warm up sketch

Beetles Don't Go to School, Or do they?

Today was the first day of class and I spent class drawing a beetle instead of paying attention but I know what the assignment is so it's all good. Will post more stuffs later. I have a lot to show you all. :D

Also, I've been writing some short stories for the Anthology that my roommate, a friend, and I are producing this Fall for APE. I may post some sneak peeks if you're good. ;)

New Sketchbook, New Techniques

Been rather busy and forgetful as of late, here is an update on some new skills I have learned and a new style I'm trying out.

I made a new sketchbook which is 100sheets of cardstock 100lb half white and half antique grey. I am very thrilled with this although I wish they had some darker cardstock than this light grey, but I can just throw some tone on it and mess with pulling lights and darks. The point is that it is cardstock and soaks up ink and watercolor. It's the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

Til next time.. keep it classy San Francisco. :]

Floats Train

Joined the concept art team of an animation group through a friend (Gene Yanza, director/producer) back in September or October of 2010. He asked me to do some character designs and then later a train design. here is the train.

Something To Look At

So a few friends started a group called the Environmental Sketch Club of which meets three times a week. This past Saturday we went to the Wharf and I practiced my water colours and I think I'll practice a lot more often now.
