Alex Portrait

Since I want to get better at drawing guys, wanted a picture of him, and since I'm kinda keen on him, I drew a picture of the boyfriend.

We went to Six Flags a few weekends back and he almost got a lightsaber until it suddenly turned pink. I made a quickie animation because of that but I'm not thrilled with it, since this was the first animation I made in gimp and it's nothing more than key frames. 

It's something though. (click above for animation)

blush

As a pick-me-up from the Darfur project, I've been jotting down ideas for my Character Design final due next Wednesday.

This sort of came from how silly my boyfriend thought it was that the big giant of a mechanic blushed so much in the storyboard. I gotta agree but that's why I did it X3. Okay, now back to real work.

more sketchies

nothing too much to say today. another rapunzel sketch of course ((c) Disney, obvs). the "EEEE" one is based off a true story, the thunderstorm was too perfect to not run through giddily. also, alex (boyfriend) with his epic soulpatch. yup.

New York sketches

Not this past weekend but the weekend before I went to NYC to see Laura High's standup at Caroline's. She was awesome ^.^

 Anyway, I had time to kill earlier that day so I attempted to go to the Met. Sadly it was closed but I got some sketching done and then went for a lovely walk through Central Park (I never knew how amazing it is there!) with the boyfriend. I drew a cartoony version of him too, since I need more practice drawing guys ^.^;;

happy heart-shaped candy day!

I'm a pretty happy camper at the moment. I'm in the process of displaying artwork at a hookah bar in Worcester MA called Spiritual Haze, which is pretty epic. I'll post the pieces that'll be displayed once they are done. As for today, I'm feeling festive:This is the valentine I made for the beau. Pikachu is my go-to character on Brawl so I figured I would whip up some cutesy fanart for the guy who taught me how not to button mash. Of course, Pikachu and Brawl are (c) Nintendo. This was an experiment with gouache and, other than the background, it's pretty dead-on to what I was trying to accomplish. The lineart is with colored pencils.
