Already September...

Today is the first day of Bottom Line group after Summer break. I saw a lot of familiar faces. I feel much comfortable with this group instead of Sandy hill since SH has too many people there. My school starts from next week, but fortunately I have Friday off. So I can come here for more drawing! These are today's result. My drawing quality is consistent now which make me a bit relived.

Tool of trade; Pastel and charcoal on news paper quality paper, both took 1 hour each

Yay! Copic markers!!!

I got my first set of copic sketch markers!!! Haven't even opened up the wrap. Too happy to touch it~!!!

G's husband; feeling like being Peter Sato...

My pastel work. I think this turned out pretty nice. Moreover, G asked for this later, so I gave it to him as a gift. This is my first work that somebody eventually wanted. Yeah, thanks for liking my work! :D

Photos

I have been taking a bit of photos this Summer. Hope you like them...

It's been a long time that my feeling had been rotten

I joined the community center's portraiture group. My first portraiture work beside myself that I did for portfolio requirement. Took about 90 mins to finish. Used low quality 2B pencil. I don't even know who is the model today... Ha-ha.

I made a necklace with one of my glass beads/Tombo-dama. It looks pretty enough to me. If wear, looks like this (below). Not bad, right??? I'm gonna make a blue-ish one, a cool fresh look for Summer.
My husband bought me a $3-bingo. I won $8 bucks and it turned to this pretty small sketch book which I can fit in my small purse. Hee-hee, I love my guy~<3

Craft sale!

My hub and I have been thinking to adopt a dog. We have our sincere poochy Motsuki, so 2nd dog will be our companion as well as his buddie. But we are not sure yet since 2nd dog will double the cost. So I wanna do fund raising selling me art and crafts. Here are some freshly made glass beads for sale. These are very strong glass, don't crack or broken even fall on the concreat ground from the table. The one broken in the photo, it stuck at the rod, so I had to use a vase to release. I put too much power and crushed.... XP Small beads are $1-, chappies are $1- too, and flower beads are $3-. I do animals, like teddy bear, panda bear, frog and ladybug. Anybody interested in? I'll take orders too. Help me to raise money!

A nice day like today

Last couple days, we have really nice weather and make my brain nicely slow down. Last Sunday, I did shopping spreee and fatened my depression glass collection. Here is my breakfast shot, a scone from Thyme and again with tea from India in my favorite mug. Just doing this kind of breakfast make me feel happy! But bad news is the rasberrys got molded!!! XD

Saturday Garden Party

were invited to my hub's colleague's garden party. The host and hostess, they have married a few months ago, so this was a sort of house warming?wedding reception part 2. they are both handsome man and pretty woman couple. they invited many people from the colleagues, friends and neighbors and it was a nice party. here is the cake her friend made. i like the white cake(angel lemon cake???).

am baaaaack!

As I stated in the title, I'm back from Japan. Today I went to BL for drawing. It's been like a month and half since I did serious figure drawing, so I feel a bit awkward. But my husband told me that they are not bad. So I decide to share with you!

Woo-hoo!

I have accepted by the animation program on 20th of April!!! I'll be a college student again in September!!! Woo-hoo-! :D

My high school festival poster!

Last time when I went back to home, I found a post I made for a high school festival activity. It's soooo nostalgic and I thought maybe fun to share with friends who check my blog. Basically the style hasn't changed, but I got better sense of structure now. I guess it is called an improvement! :D

I love JohnK works!

Me and my hub are looking for Ripping friends episodes. We wanna watch again. I guess we can probably get the DVD from Rogers? Maybe? I love Ren&Stimpy as well. I wish he produce Ripping friends sequel or something new...
Here is my design of Stimpy's older brother, muscular guy Stompy! XD

Sequence

I like to draw sequence of action. It's challenging but also so much fun. Here are two of them I drew. One is gesture drawing, and the other one is from the photo reference book.

2 of my portofolio works

Hi friends!
There is only a week left for the GAS program Open house. I am almost ready and all I need to do is finish my portleit. Hope many people come and see my works!
Today I went to a new animation studio to fulfill English course assignment. I talked to a director of the company and I got a lot of motivation now. Thank you Kyle! I think I am going to enroll animation program, and beside that, I'll take short courses for painting and pottery. I am planing a lot of things to do this Summer. I can't wait!

losing confidence...

there is only a month left to complete my college program. when i look back now, i didn't either improve or develop my style/skill as i expected for my character drawing. very disappointing.
......... ort
only good thing is i know what is perspective. tho, my layout works are still so lame...XP(dead)

i donno what to do...

Well, I have finished CH2's assignment. This time I had to prepare a comic slip and I was kind of happy about how it was turned out until I compared it with my old comic works. Guess what, I found there was almost no difference which means I haven't improved much. I really wonder what was the point of receiving training paying a lot of money... I'm so dead now.

what the future look like???

Here is my layout assignment work. Ye-s, yes, I know it is so conventional.... Exterior maybe, but I totally disagree with the taste and design of interiors done by SW artists (Gorge Lucus?) and other futuristic files' artists. I believe in the future people's taste will be much sophisticated and won't like to show raw materials or machinary-thic designfor living space. Well, that's my opinion, but what do you think?

sketching!

Well, I basically love sketching, but these are done within few hours with some restrictions for life drawing assignment. Yes, it was a bit stressful. So I went back to the museum and did 2 more sketches today. I think my sketching technique improved! And i like the museum f nature, there so many animals and fossils to sketch! Hee-hee. :D

I love pigs, but not these ones!

Well, they are the ones will be in my portfolio if I apply this college's Anime program.

Evolution of Rex Wolski (a character's name)

Here is my history assignment work. Yes, it is loose, maybe too loose... Anyway, this teacher is quite interesting and so far I learned a lot from him. And I thought this was a fun assignment seeing myself how my character developed. Hope you could see what I saw in there. My Rex Wolski evolved from left to right way. Ha-ha-ha.

History assignment 02

Me in Samurai Jack.

Mirror reflection lay out!

I like how this turned out, even it doesn't look like Miyazaki style. Ha-ha-ha... And a lame ninja house. XP

Fire fly caricature

Totally failed this time... they don't look like them at all... PX (dead)

The first layout assignment....

Well, I couldn't finish 5 more props and 1 thumbnail... But anyway, I'm not gonna do animation program so, I did Snow white one quite a bit more illustration way. I like it so far and I even wanna water color it! hee-hee-hee. . Took whole weekend to finish, but it is good enough for a first try, I think. What do u think???

2009 college works

Well, the program doesn't require to upload assignments to this site any more. But I decided to upload for my friends and somebody curious about how things go. Here are assignment work for character design II and some life drawing works from Bottom Line. Hope you like it. ^^
