Rembrandt Studies

If you're in the Cleveland, OH area, the Cleveland Museum of Art currently has an exhibit of some Rembrandt works. I went to a preview day today and bought some postcards to do some studies.

Why the Mango is Heart-Shaped

Watercolor on some very bad paper. I'm not sure if I like the looseness or if I think it looks a hot mess. It's based on a Filipino folktale about a girl who commits suicide and the mango tree grows from her grave.

I'm pretty sure my own degeneration is just getting worse and worse

I ran across a meme on tumblr. "Draw yourself exactly as you are right now."

So I did.

Sketchity Sketching!

Just doodling a lot. I'm trying to remind myself that drawing can be fun too. I have some silly works coming up soon, a lot of fanart in preparation of Anime Boston where I'll be tabling, as well as my senior project. Updates will be more frequent, I swear. Cross my crooked little heart.

I'm you Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb

Just a doodle inspired by my friend's Lolita fashion rants over at Sugar Bomb.

Evil Koalas

A drop bear is a fake animal made up by Australians to fool unsuspecting tourists, apparently. It's supposed to be a large, evil, carnivorous koala that attacks from the trees.

...I'm kinda fond of this guy

From Book Illustration

I was tired of that doll being the top post. Have something from my book illustration class.

Hey look! I can draw!

Sketch to Painting

I just found these files again. I thought I'd lost them but since I hadn't...hooray!

Last summer, my dad asked for a painting of one of our dogs and I have to say, I'm exceptionally proud of the result.
The finish was done in watercolor and I have to say this is one of the times I am honestly and pleasantly shocked at what I made.

In other news, one of the three internships I applied to rejected me. For various reasons, it's an extreme disappointment, but I can only hope I hear from the other two and can move on from this.

Sketches

So I just decided to assemble some sketches and stuff from the last couple of months, because I honestly like them more in some cases than my finishes.

I made these last semester, drawing in micron at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. I like that place. All the animals are a little rotten and it smells faintly of formaldehyde. I love it.
A composite of some pen sketches from my animation sketchbook last semester. I told you I always drew myself like that.

Some character sketches, in pencil, from my book illustration class. I love turtles and fear crabs. Deeply.
