snap! here are 2 panels from a 4 panel sequential narrative thingie assignment where we had to illustrate a japanese folk story. they have to shrink down to like 3x3 or something ridiculous like that, to fit onto a box.

i'm still learning my way around computer programs.

the other day i saw a sign written in green marker that said "CHAMP, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm sorry."

also, i found a perfectly good computer chair on the curb!

here's some stuff from tonight, referenced just for some ol' practice. my sketchbooks are really messy, so just ignore any weird pokey lines that come from other places, i like to layer things.

ref'd from liu zheng's photography







ref's from sports int'l but i dont know if you'd recognize 'em if you saw 'em

Camilla Engman's organized collection flickr set appeals to my love of strange documentation.

these are some detail shots of a 10 x 20 painting (okay its more of a painted drawing) i did.



i took this at an angle, the kid has a body and feet too!



jellyfishy-y-y



i tightened up a LOT, i'd like to loosen up considerably. BUT learning, learning.

this palette is all kaley. orange and lime green?!

a reminder of the sketch:

one of my neighbors has this elaborate bird house setup in her front yard and i really want to put up mini xmas decorations on the doors and around the little roofs in the middle of the night. its not reallypopular with the birds so i wont bother them.

not sure how to do it aside from going to a dollhouse store, which would be expensive. i also dont want to nail or permanently glue anything down so i dont get charged wtih birdhouse vandalism ;p. i have some ideas but still thinking.

neato post on COLOURlover's from awhile ago about infographics.

oh mah gaw i drew stuff!





i totally cheat on back muscles, really i have non idea wtf is going on back there. i've done so many muscle drawings of the back but its always totally different when you're looking at a real, moving back.

these aren't from life, though, they're referenced from a delightful figure reference book.

winter break = gesture life drawing!

laura laine *sigh*

i will distract you from my lack of updates with this smokebomb picture i drew of yigi that i found in my sketchbook!



okay not a great likeness, but i like the actual drawing so its cool. who was it that said "kill your model when you're done"?
