Ink Figure Drawing

Since I'll be handing these in on Wednesday for my last figure drawing portfolio of first year, I decided why not upload these as a visual diary so when I'm all grown and professional I can look back and say man, I'm a lot better now.

These are forty minutes to hour long poses done in ink.

(Ed's the greatest model! Seriously every time I draw him my picture turns out amazing)

And a little 20 minute one

The best of the worst anatomy studies we did in class (20 mins)

And here is a picture of a 10 minute pose done in the first class we used ink. Look at the improvement, and I barely even went to extra life this whole semester (which I don't endorse btw, I totally regret not going more often v_v)

First year is almost over which is pretty crazy! I'm tired both physically and emotionally (I found out this year I have a lot of insecurities about my art and myself, and I'm really bad dealing with stress. It's great!) and I'm ready for summer haha @_@. 

Next week I'll scan the best of my sketchbook pages and post a painting or two.

Pixel Pink

Jai Paul is pretty rad.

SO MANY FEELS

ARTISTIC FRUSTRATIONNNN

No but seriously I have met so many cool people this year (and possibly creeped out a couple really awesome fourth years) I just feel so grateful ;_; 

and honoured

and lucky.

SO MANY FEELS OH GOD -tear-

Painting 2

Some paintings from both last semester and this semester. Honestly my still lives are so much better than my figure painting 9_9

6 hour acrylic setup done last semester. Man coming back for the second 3 hour session and setting up all over again was frustrating.

My big painting assignment from semester 1, an ever-so-cool deer antler done in acrylics.

And the setup. Deer antlers are sweeeeet (thanks mom!)

Now to get some skulls aw right

And second semester watercolour still lives:

I painted one glorious teapot, I'm not even going to hide it.

And sketchbook #2 is all bound and ready to go! Never try a new bookbinding technique at 1 in the morning expecting it to be done in an hour, things just don't end up like that >:I

It's pretty amazing looking back at the beginning of semester one and realizing how much I've improved since then. I can actually draw an apple sitting on a table and it looks like it's sitting...

...on a table.

:D

It only gets better from here!

P. 2/3

I have a feeling it's going to change.

Recently I'm finding I want to draw more interiors. I'm really into atmosphere right now and rooms just have such eerie, contemplative feelings to them.

Insecurity p.1

Woah guys a real update with pictures and process and everything!

I'm currently on my reading week which is a nice time to sleep in and relax (what I've been doing haha). As well I have time to work on my mini comic for a project called the First Year Anthology created by my classmates Charlit Floriano and Katherine Diemert. 

This is the first page out of four, five or six. I can't decide. I'm lazy and decided not to do any paneling because that takes extra time and thought and this thing is due next Tuesday.

I've just started using a dip pen and Chinese brushes and honestly I cannot see why I haven't tried them out sooner! The line quality has more character and sensitivity than fine liners and the black you get from the India ink is just perfect. Don't get the cheap Royal India ink though, that stuff never dries truly black and it smudges after it dries.

The original scanned and the linear (really messy, terrible linear that didn't help at all).

And the photobooth ref because look at my dog, he wanted to play :'}

Don't have a lot to say now ahh hm.

Her face is off, so for my next linear I'm not going to spontaneously shift the picture and wing the final.

And for all you Sheridan portfolio people I'll be helping out both Friday and Saturday so if you see a chubby, average height half-asian girl that's me (say hi, I'll be super awkward but meeting people is awesome c: )
