Sleeping Doodles

Heading back to school at the end of this week, so there will be a lot less of this going on!

Long Night

It's been a few days so I thought I'd post a little doodle I was working on the other day. Who knows if I'll finish it. I keep going back and fiddling with it every now and then and then hiding what I paint. For some reason I'm struggling with taking this further. I'm sure I'll figure something out eventually.

Anyways, today is my little sister's 18th Birthday! We got her an ipod touch, which she loved, and I've been playing on while she's at school today! So Happy Birthday to my little sis Emily!

Happy New Year!

I took that mermaid sketch I did yesterday and threw some color on it today to see what it could turn into maybe.

I'm thinking I need to learn how to calibrate my computer though. [I think thats the right term?] Because trying to figure out how to fix my colors for internet viewing looks a lot different on my screen than other peoples. I'm still not too savvy on all the technical things like that on computers. But I'm learning!

Doodles

Hey!

Sorry it's been a week since I posted. Got home from school last Saturday and as the last week before Christmas with the family it's always busy around here. [and I also decided to do some work out programs with a friend that were obviously for fit people not lazy college students. I don't think I've ever been this sore since my soccer days in high school!] Then the past two days alone I've done more running around and errands to last me the rest of the year! Haha.

But enough of that. I'm sure you are all busy with last minute Christmas preparations and shopping and family gatherings. So until I get something up next week here is one of the latest pages from my sketchbook.

I hope you all have a awesome Christmas tomorrow! [I know I'm excited to see the expression on my Dad's face at the gift my sister and I have been working on for the past month!] Merry Christmas and take care.

Sketchbook Sketches

Some more sketches from my sketch book!

Weston

Here's a spread from my Illustration sketchbook this semester. We did a journal type sketchbook with a list of topics with each sketch being done fairly quickly. This topic is a large public space. Weston-Super-Mare is a beach and large pier my family always goes to when we are visiting relatives in England. Most of my sketches have lots of hand done type on it for the journal aspect the teacher wanted, but I like this one without. Sorry for the strange match-up in the center but thats where the rings of my sketchbook were!

Treehouses

When I was a kid I always wanted a treehouse. So here is the new piece I did for one of my classes. I definitely think I improved from the last landscape I did, [the one of the house on the hill from a couple of posts ago] but I still have a long way to go.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did but now I'm back at school for finals. No sleep for a while. Also, it's finally getting colder here too. Snows a coming, so excited!

B Movie Posters

Here was one of the projects I worked on the past two weeks. My first idea is the first piece in this post but my teacher mentioned about trying out some pos/neg pieces with a centralized vampire creature. Since I don't usually do something like that I decided to take it as an extra exercise on the side. In the end my first idea flopped and is all sorts of messed up and the pos/neg pieces came out really well. These were suppose to be B movie posters with titles we got assigned. The title I got was "Attack Of The Bloodsucking Cave Vampires." The kind of empty spaces in each poster would be were the type would go.

Mr. Owl

It's been so long since I've posted anything! Well tomorrow I have a day off work so I'm going to the zoo with my sister and a friend! Mighty fine thing to do on my day off I think. It has also been over a year or two since I've been to a zoo I think. But in my excitement I started to doodle this little guy in-between baking some cookies. [some failed experiments I might add too.]


In about a week I will be spending some time with my family in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Some hiking, swimming, tubing, white water rafting and taking tons of pictures. Can't wait!

Fun little sketch after work. :]
