Speed self portrait

I was really tired and didn't really feel like doing anything.

But I wanted to be productive, so I did a self portrait speed paint.

I made my face a little to long, but oh well.

Flying

Just some really old OCs. Thought I'd try getting out of my comfort zone and do something at a different perspective and doing something other than standing. Yes, I just did a more detailed version of a sketch a put in my last post.

More doodles

Just another doodle dump. All my stuff drawn over the past week. Trying to get back into drawing more again which is hard because of my classes. I will not let school get in the way of my art :| Because seriously, what's the use of going to school for art when I'm not learning art and its keeping me from improving?

That chick on top is mostly shirtless because her anatomy came out all awesome and I didn't want to ruin it with clothes. I also just wanted to practice drawing women a bit more because I usually mainly draw men. And I wanted to practice expressions. So its all mainly just practice doodles.

That bottom picture is the hallway at my college.

EDIT

Oh yeah did I forgot to mention? I'm not going to Sheridan. Realized I wouldn't be able to pay for it. At the moment, I'm just taking a few gen ed classes at the community college and transferring to the state University to major in studio art and graphic design and minor in Chinese.

Coloring practice

More random drawings. Just trying new coloring styles. Probably not going to finish the WIP. Paintings in CS5 come out a lot different from ones done in 7.0. It would be weird to change halfway through.

Completed versions of WIPS I posted on here.

Can't believe I forgot to post these.

Man vs Cat

My first commission ever. Low resolution of course. The high resolution is for the person who bought it '3' Haha I love this.

Yet another speed paint

I finished my graphics final really early so I drew this in photoshop and I'm still in class. Now I'm bored ._.

What I've been doing

Guess who's gotten back into watching anime after not really watching any since middle school. Haha I've been pretty uninspired lately so I thought I'd give myself a break and draw some fan art.

Anyways, a lot has been going on. Though school is ending next week, graduation isn't until the end of June (Graduating with high honors. Whooo!). I also won a contest for a logo I did in my graphic design class and I'm now getting $250 and a copy of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign CS5. So this month has been pretty amazing.

Lastly, I finally got my scores and found out my wait list ranking today. I scored a 2.91 and I am 6 out of 12 on the wait list. Not much of a chance of getting in but I'm happy nonetheless. I'm just shocked that I did good on life drawing and bad on my animation related stuff. I was expecting the complete opposite. But anyways, thats about it for now. I'm hoping I can have a great last summer of high school and that I'll make lots of friends in college. I'm really going to miss my friends though. Trying to talk all my artsy friends that are good at drawing and want to be an animator into applying.

Junk dump

Just some sketches and stuff. Mainly done during school (Hehe, government class). Last is my progress for my city painting.

WIP of perspective drawing

I need to post more than speedpaints and WIPs ;3;

We're doing a perspective drawing in Graphic Design II.

Gonna take a while ._.

I never really notice how depressing all my drawings look until people point it out to me. Hey, when you live in the desert, there is nothing sad about rain.

Another random speedpaint

One day I will do more than just speed paints -.-

Deviantart junk

I'm slowly getting out of art block. Yaaaaaay!
Anyways I did something on deviantart called the Paper Chain Project which is where someone gives a character and you have to do a sketch of them. The character belongs to Painted-bees on deviantart.

I think I'm gonna do this with all my sketches now. Looks fancy~

Random sketch and WIP

Just a random digital painting that took a couple hours. So its a speed paint in a way. Ugh, I need to stop looking at all these digital paintings from people much older than me ;3; I wish I could be as good as them but I know it'll take time.

Oh and I've been working on something for graphic design homework. We're designing characters for a video game. I see so much wrong with it but I kinda like it D;

Yongrui

Practicing in SAI more. Only this took a few hours and I fixed it up in photoshop.
I pretty much tried completely redoing an old picture and it looks compleeeetely different.
Yongrui's my youngest main character. About 5 or 6.
Inspired by this song, which would totally be his song if each of my OCs had a song to represent them.

Final snake painting

Here's the higher resolution version :D

And it looks much better flipped than the original way. I also added a texture.

First SAI painting

Did a speedpaint in SAI for the first time :O

I think it came out pretty good. Much faster to paint than photoshop. (Did in about an hour)

Just some random dude.

One day I'll be able to paint the area around the eyes correctly -_-

WIPs for character busts

Proof that I am working on something not school related. This is how I distract myself to the fact that I haven't heard from Sheridan yet ._. So much fun though~

So I got SAI and it is the most amazing program I have ever used. At least for cel shading. 'Dem lines <3

I decided I would try to do one nice picture of each of my characters from my story. Doing profiles. Oh gosh I love making profiles.
So here's what I got so far

Gonna redo Evan most likely (the ginger guy). Only about halfway through all the characters.

EDIT: LUUUUUL. I just realized the top row is RGB. That is amazing.

Aaaaaand what I'm working on right now. Haha I have too many Asian characters. Well at least Dollie (The chick) isn't Chinese. Everyone else is. She's Korean.

Portfolio for Sheridan Animation 3

Here's some of my personal pieces. The other two were part of my WIP for that painting I did of the guy standing in front of the buildings (Cropped to look like a finished piece hehehe) and 4 of my sketchbook pages from that sketchbook dump I posted.

Portfolio for Sheridan Animation 2

Character Design

Storyboard

Shut up, I know his tail is missing xD I don't have a jpg of the one with a tail saved though.

Still lifes

Some of this stuff I actually fixed up a bunch. Like all the screwed up ellipses on that last one ._.

Portfolio for Sheridan Animation 1

I'm too lazy to dig up some of my portfolio stuff so here's what I have saved on my computer.

Animal drawing (Second isn't scanned. And it was pretty bad ;3;)


Hand drawings

Room drawings

Naked Snake

All I ever post on here is graphic design assignments -.-
We're doing grid drawings, only on the computer and I decided to draw naked snake.
I hate drawing box by box though so I started out with the boxes and I'm shading without them.
Here's a WIP.

UPDATE:
Here's what I got done yesterday :D

ANOTHER UPDATE:

And even more today :D Oh gosh I'm getting so bored of working on this ._.

FINAL UPDATE:

So here's the final product for the most part. I'll probably upload a higher resolution version later '3'

Motorcycle Flyers

In my Graphic Design class, we had to partner up with another person and work on this huge project that lasts half the quarter. The whole idea was that we were given a company and we had to redesign a bunch of the design aspects of their company and design a new product geared to a different demographic besides their usual buyers.
We chose Victory motorcycles and decided to make them eco friendly for younger people and people who are concerned about the environment. I love how the magazine flyers came out ;D Except for the third one but we were limited to only 6 colors for that one.
Haha we're waaaay ahead of everyone too because we're the only ones not slacking off.
Here's what we got:

My partner designed and made the logo herself. Personally, I like it muuuuuch better than the original. But hey, thats what they whole redesigning is about.

Heh, somebody was doing make-up so they did Manscara. All the guys in the class except for two were wearing eyeliner so they could have pictures. Very strange day. Is it a full moon tonight?

Sketch dump 1

Sketch dump. I wish I could make my sketchbook look as awesome as everyone else's I've seen ;3; I just draw concept art for comics I wanna do and random objects.

Completed Illustration project

Completed.
I think I actually like the backgroundless one better ):

On a brighter note, less than two weeks till I hear from Sheridan :3 Sooooo nervous ;3;

Finished the person

Well after working about 3 hours a day at school on this for two and a half weeks, I've finally completed the person. :D

Drew it exactly from the blue sketch in my last post, though I left out a few things so it would look a little less cluttered. I kinda just gave up on the left arm too. I spent about 4 hours trying to fix it and I just gave up one it looked decent. But all in all, this is probably my best or one of my best pictures at the moment ;3;

Just need to add the background now.

Song I listened to a bunch while drawing it:

王力宏- 讓開

Illustration graphic design project

My favorite part of the year in graphics is when we do digital painting or anything drawing related (We did it first quarter in graphics II). In Senior graphics, we have to do a digital painting and we had to choose from several classical styles. Of course, I chose the closest to my style which is romanticism. As far as I can tell, its just a stylized realism.

I really like how my rough sketch is coming out so far. Didn't take me long to come up with an idea. Gonna start the actual sketch tomorrow. Couldn't do it today 'cause I didn't have any nice paper with me D;

Not gonna be classical romanticism. I hope she lets me get away with something a bit modern. I'm thinking of actually using this as the cover of one of my comics when I get through with it and model all the other covers off this (Person in center with detailed background and a color theme)

Graphic Design junk

Oh, what the hey, here's some of my graphic design stuff. Might as well post it somewhere.

PSA poster for drunk driving

Billboard for a restaurant at Mandalay bay (in Las Vegas) called Mix.

I hated doing this 'cause it made me so hungry ;3; And my friend sitting next to me had a restaurant in the same place too.

Logo for something for the American Heart Association that I didn't win ;3;

Also another logo I did for a contest I didn't win. Everyone hated the logo that was chosen because the person dodged and burned everything xD

Redesign for a book cover. I hard to do this one which I have never read but everyone around me had.

I'd never make a successful graphic designer xD I like coming up with my own stuff and I hate logos with a passion :I Everything else is pretty fun though. When ever my teacher says we're designing a logo, I'm like "DEAR GOD NO"
