Some Good Head >_>

Sketchbook paraphernalia.


Old drawing from Clothed Figure 1, I forgot to post it, but am rather proud of this.

Latest Head studies in pen.

Trying to be as skilled as Z.

gute nacht ;)

Episode 1 : I used a Swiffer

Spring semester has started and I am pleased to announce that I am now more awesome than ever! I was taken while in a deep sleep, ripped from my packaging and placed upon a lego battle field of which I was left to fend for myself and slaughter those in my way to reach that delicious cream filled donut called Ultimate Happiness on the other side. With my pen as my sword, I couldn't quite erase my foes.. so I drew mustaches on them like in that one episode where Bugs Bunny goes around and defiles the portraits of movie stars...er, you get my point. When you can't beat them, make them look funny. :P

HERE'S A MAN!
His name is Sedrickson..
He is part lizard.
Enjoy.


Oh, right, by the way.. My trip to North Carolina was a lot of fun and I baked a cookie that looked like a rocket ship!
Fin.

all things in moderation

These past three days have been a great predecessor for the days to come in North Carolina. Adventures with various friends took me to new places among San Francisco. I took the Minolta out with the lovely Mandi Sanchez to Beuna Vista Park and Corona Heights where we climbed amongst the rocks and met a cute puppy German Shepard named Juanita. o.O
LOOK! It's the prong thing! O_O
The day started off a little overcast and soon became very grey and dismal, not to mention COLD! It was a great adventure nonetheless, as the adventure ended with burritos and I saw Ovo later that night with my sister and Chris. ^.^
An adventure with Abel on Friday led to some roof top cityscape drawing and hot chocolates in little Italy. On Saturday Grant, Sadie and I managed to hit up every candy store on the way through the Embarcadero center and to the Ferry Building where Grant took out his laptop and proceeded to play an 8-bit game while Sadie and I hung out in a book store reading The World According to Twitter and looking at the Fail Blog Chronicles.
Later that night the three of us ended up inebriated and playing video games. I broke out the pastels and did a feature study..


I tend to overwhelm myself with the big picture, so I never end up finishing what it is that I started out to do in the first place. I think if I do more little studies and calm myself down I'll be able to be more comfortable in situations where I do have to get the whole figure all nice and pretty.

To all those iphone and ipod touch users out there, download Words With Friends and start a game with me. (It's scrabble.. but wireless with EVERYONE!) ((someone needs to make a star wars version))

peace

Open to ideas

In class fun.. I think I finally got that torso down.. >_< Added in some paper planes, they need cast shadows.. :P


So here is my work in progress for my final! A friend of mine told me that he likes the open space at the top.. should I leave it open or add in the gummy worms?

What you gonna do when the guns are drawn?

I have a pretty good view of the city from where I am at and every morning I wake up to a different mood in the sky.
I may start doing more of these as morning exercises.. But this was my first quick study in photoshop of what I see when I wake up. The clouds looked awesome, but as of right now the light and clouds moved because I decided to eat something. I know, I know.. shame on me.
Anyway, there you go!
rawr! Took me like thirty minutes to throw together the sketch, clouds and sky..
Damn quick select made my sky look weird. Well, actually it's my fault. I learned today that quick select should be used with 100% opacity rather than 40%.. it caused some variation in the opacity within the sky and that's why the weird pattern is in the sky. I am quite proud of my clouds though.. ^.^
I have never done a city scape before.. it's rather overwhelming. O_O

Hope all is well, I must get back to actual work for finals now. :P

Dream thief?


Somehow today it just clicked for me. I am still very far behind in most of my classes and this weekend will be a doozy because of it.
Anyhow, I wanted to share my excitement with you of my first sketching enjoyment within photoshop. The weird icky cheating feeling is gone! Same with painting in oil, I am much more confident now. ^_^


Starting with flour sacks seems to help haha
Cheers

I keep her in the basement..



When I press my eyes into the back of my skull I can see these amoeba looking things.
