Jin

Was watching LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring this morning and started dinking around with this. Portrait of Jin from Samurai Champloo.

Thursday thing

Nothing really exciting today. Definitely didn't spend a full hour on this one. Just something done while having lunch downtown.

Wednesday's doodle

She is running away from someone, but she tripped and fell. That's how it usually happens in almost every movie where someone is getting chased right? I don't think I've ever fallen when someone chased me. Maybe that's just me. But I do however have those dreams where it's hard for me to run, almost like I'm running on quicksand. So I'll fall constantly. Maybe that's what they're trying to mimic in movies?

Chibi quickie

Playing around waiting for a friend to message me back about watching a movie tonight. I think they forgot it was supposed to be today so it looks like I'll be chilling at home for the evening. -_- I think I'm done being productive today though, time for some chinese and a movie on my own. The only problem I think I have is do I wanna watch action or comedy?

Was done in photoshop cs2, apprx 30 mins.

Warm up for Tuesday

Another quickie to keep my brain moving. Going to try to keep this up everyday as a morning exercise. I don't think an hour or two will take away too much from my day. I'd like to do these first thing in the morning so my brain is in that mode from the get go. Anyways, back to my serious work.

Snow days

Woke up to having a snow day so of course that means more time for drawing. Of course I was already on my way to school before I found out they closed because of the snow. Sunny and kinda warm yesterday, no snow on the roads...snow day today and the roads are covered. I'm not really complaining about the snow day, but I still have to go in and work tonight 5-2am. Anyways, decided to get my brain moving and I did this as a lil warm up. I actually wanted to play around on real canvas today, but as I was stretching the canvas the staple gun decided not to cooperate. *shakes fist*

Showing my blog some love.

So I was asked recently if I have a blog, and that of course made me remember. I DO have a blog, but it's a been a while since I've visited it. So here are a few things I've done recently except for these first 2.

This is something I did at work on the back of a placemat with some ink pens and some tea to tint the paper and make the pens bleed a little. This actually inspired me to do the one below it and even though I like the second one I did, I'm still loving this doodle just a bit more.

I recently had a friend model for me to have some reference photos for some things I'm working on. This is a speed painting I did using one of the photos as ref. In the second pic I decided to add a red tint to the texture on the top layer and it gave it a nice bloody effect.

A logo I did recently for my cousins radio show.
And a couple of more doodles playing around with some of the same ideas I used in the logo above.

A sketch I did to practice some coloring.
Was looking at photos of beaches one day and did a quick 15min study of one of them.

This is a watercolor painting I'm in the process of working on for my class assignment. Used a brush pen to do the black lines and it does a little bit of bleeding when wet which I'm liking. I plan on developing more using the same technique for the rest of class.

A quick self portrait just because.
