Action Analysis Character

I was having so much trouble with this character in the past two days, so I settled with this version.

Colours are by no means final. She will be acting on a yellow-ish background so I thought blue / red would be best.
Critiques / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Also, she needs a name.

Smudge Time

I went to life drawing today and used pastels for the second time. (The first time was a huge failure)

It was fun! I'm going to post as I go to keep track of my progress :)

Llamas

Another page of llamas from a few days ago. But apparently they're actually alpacas.


Ecorche Studies

It's almost 4 am and I am so excited for this post - SUCH AN AMAZING DAY
I'm SO inspired by the people around me.
Thanks everyone for your inspirational chats, and your help and patience with me. 
(You know who you are!)
Y'all are so amazing I can't even get over it. <3
In the past few days, I've been working on my studies of backs in the Anatomy in Motion assignment. I'm really not an anatomy person at all, so as you can imagine I was really struggling. I always find the anatomy of the back the hardest to 'fake'.
I went to illustration life drawing three days in a row (I rarely life draw for fun, probably just because I never understood what I am working towards) and then spent a fair chunk of time today ecorcheing my drawings. As I was almost finished, something inside me just clicked and I just saw everything I wasn't able to see before. I finally understand everything that didn't work in my drawings! I know there is still tons wrong in them - but I can see them now! What the heck :D
Sometimes this program makes me question myself and it's hard to say 'I love art' ... but today is one of those days when I can go to bed and confidently say it.
I love art and I'm passionate about animation.






I didn't end up ecorcheing this one.


I used Progresso pencils and Derwent Coloursoft on Kraft paper (It's super fun. I swear.)
Ecorches are Progresso on vellum.

I will sleep well tonight! Until life drawing at 9 am tomorrow, which I'm super excited for.
I'm also excited to post more llamas tomorrow, but right now I'm too tired.
PLEASE critique, and have yourself a creative day.

Film Props

First pass at potential props for main character's home.

Stay tuned!






The Royal Winter Fair


Hey there!

It's been quite a while since my last post. But here they are! The good, the bad and the ugly.
My winter fair drawings D: It was such a strange drawing day.

 That morning I overslept. I woke up 5 minutes before the arrival of my bus.
Thus it became a day without grooming or make up. But animals don't judge.

Llamas + turkeys + perogies + fudge + free food samples = SUBLIME HAPPINESS

I was so llama-high all morning :B They're the wonderfullest!
Rough, based on a 5 sec sketch from the fair



Some really crummy sketches of llamas and cowsies.
Llamas are SOOO much fun to watch. :)


There was a girl sleeping with them cows :)

Then I drew some birdies!
Also super fun.
(Copic markers and Prismacolour brush tip marker)





This one's my favourite:




Hope you liked them!





A drawing for giggles :)

Heroes and Villains

Life drawing assignment, to turn life drawing into heroes and villains.
These are not due until Thursday, but I will be pretty busy in the next few days so I got them done as much as I can for nowww. Maybe will photoshop over them later yay. 

Thanks to my friends Frank and Eyassu for helping <3.  

Koi watercolours and Staedtler watercolour pencils that I didn't bother watering again.






Feedback / suggestions for change would be amazing!
