Ladies' Night

I guess all I really draw is ladies anyway, right? Huh.

Sorry for the bad scan/sketchiness; they came out of my teeny sketchbook. We're supposed to fill up 20 pages over our break...which would be easier, except I keep drawing on random sheets of paper and then losing them. :/

Swimmingly

 

This was actually my last illustration for last semester. Is it weird that it was the easiest? Was it even weirder that it got a really great crit? I guess that's just the manatee magic.

Dysfunctional

And now, for something...

Completely different! I'm definitely drawn to cutesy stuff style-wise, but....you know. Guys and cute. Eh.

 

...well, he's cute. So it counts.

Chromovore

 

A little portrait thing for my sister's story! The character is technically all black, gray and white, since she absorbs/eats colors. But....you know. Color's nice. And maybe she's eating the color from the flowers, so maybe that makes sense? XD

Change Shapes

 

I change shapes just to hide in this place- Mike Snow

It may not look like it, but I tried a couple of new things with this pic and kinda like it. :D

Cupcakes

 

I watched The Nutcracker yesterday and wanted to draw something pretty sugary and fluffy. :D

Bisque

 

Final illustration for digital ill! I plan on making some changes over break to spiffy it up.

Super Natural

 

My bf got me the anime Supernatural as an early Christmas present (since I love the show), and we watched it yesterday. Can't help but love baby Dean's voice or the glittery tears everywhere.

To give you an idea of the magic: [link]

...but seriously, it's awesome and I love it.

Punk'd

Yayyyy. My final comp. ill! Photoshop is moving like a limping snail atm....

Floral

Messing around drawing last night...it's been a while since I drew anything for fun. XD

Wuthering Heights! *.*

Doooooone.

Progess

Kinda, but not really. It has a lot more stuff to be thrown into it, but here's an illustration WIP for Wuthering Heights.

The Fall

Love this movie. Looooove.

KISS saves Santa

...for my illustration class.

Pulp covers!

Assignment for my digital illustration class! I wasn't sure which set of colors I liked better, but I think I'm turning in the first one.

 

Flame on~~

Some fanart for my sister's short story In Flames of the Oaxaca. I've probably rambled about it before, but she's written two novels about Peter Pan and Wendy and their crew, but since she's incredibly creative and amazing she put her own awesome spin on it. She's my favorite author, and I'm not just saying that.

XD

Just something goofy. XD

Swiper

 

Character concept stuff for my digital illustration class.

Meanwhile...

Part of our first illustration assignment; it's a mock cover for the school's comic anthology. :)

Some artz

Back at school, and reunited with my scanner!

 

 

(a little self-portrait...XD)

Sky Sailing

Wooo, the road trip is over! I'm back to drawing regularly again...here's a sketch I did for my sister of her character Wendy. :)

On the Road

Doing some "painting"....a bit different than my normal style, but I'm all for trying new things.

Keep on Rolling

For some reasons, nearly all my character designs include ridiculous scarves, for no purpose at all. :/

Halo

Another goofy quick sketch from throwing my ipod on shuffle. :P

Steamy

Buh, haven't posted in a while...we're trekking across the country, so the scanner and I have been temporarily seperated. In any case, figured I should keep my sketching going, so here's a random steampunk girl and her robot friend (tablet!).:

That's How You Know

I'm such a Disney geek...seen every animated movie many times over, and I know my way far to well around the parks. So, when I was commissioned to draw Giselle.....
awesome. :DD

Dizzy

 

Tried doing some watercolor, but ended up throwing it into photoshop and more or less changing it completely (IMO, for the better).

SuperSoap

 This one's courtesy of my strange, hilarious sister:

Oh, I'm hooked on Netflix. And, consequently, Dark Shadows:

 

These were both done straight on the computer; in the coming weeks I really won't have access to a scanner and I need to start practicing with my tablet. :'D

Skulled

I found myself drawing a rococo woman. Sitting there. With fluffy hair and flowers.
So, in an effort to switch it up, I added Dias de las Muertas makeup......>.>

Rainbow Sherbert

Yep, was in a slump. A bit better now, but only just. XD
So, here's a generic mermaid with foofy hair and massive eyelashes.

Pink Robots

My new pen nibs came in yesterday, so I was able to start inking again!

 

Just a quick one for the fun of it. :D

Real and Bright

Tra-la-la, working on commissions today. I took a few breaks (Frasier, Captain Crunch...) and did some sketching on the side though. This doodle's the closest I came to doing anything presentable. :P

 

It's really weird what a tablet can do to your hand-eye coordination; it felt like I was drawing with my foot. :/  Hopefully something more impressive will follow shortly.

Critical Thinking

So, until I can figure out my old password, I'll post my journal comics over here for the time being. :'D
The others are at dormtroopes.blogspot.com, if anyone's interested.

So, the first is of my sister...who likes to write. She's really good at it, but I'm really horrible at writing reviews. We can have pretty in-depth discussions about literary parallelism and her oh-so-subtle metaphors, but when I'm trying to get my thoughts out at 6:30 am (when I generally read them), I draw a blanks. :|

 And...uh...I'll figure this one out later.

Lightning Bugs

Probably didn't take as much time with this one as I should have (maybe a day and a half-ish), but I still think she has a cute face. And I kinda like the new lighting; generally they're all lit from the side, and I wanted a new light source. :D

 

In any case, I need to do a lot of digital practice to get ready for my Comp. Illustration class next semester. SO PUMPED.

Squidling and friends

 

I think I like the octopus better than the mermaid. :/

Also, I'm not sure why the colors aren't as bright as they show up to be on PS; I'll mess around with the file type, because I really like how ridiculously saturated it is. :/

Edit: does this look better?

Sketchin'

Found a bunch of different paper lying around in my room the other day and decided to try out some toned stuff. I love my gel pens, after all. :D

Under the Sea~

I decided to really kill myself with my pens yesterday, so started drawing a mermaid and kinda went from there...

 

I wasn't dead enough after, though, so went ahead and decided to color it. Here's what I have so far:

Here We Goooo~

Yay for my first post? XD

 

Just tablet stuff.

 

This was drawn as a mock-cover for a Graphic Design project. The magazine was about fairytales (this one's the Juniper Tree).

 

 Was listening to "Walking on Broken Glass" by Annie Lennox and felt like drawing something all technicolor-and rococo. 

Sorry for the art dump, but it's summer and there's finally time to draw. :D
