Nighttime

Late night doodling. Actually at this point it's probably early morning doodling.

A little thing for an idea that's been floating around in my head.

fivesies

I will never get over how much I love short poses in life drawing. All  five minute pieces, and all done at Film Roman, in sessions hosted by the awesome Paul Wee. He just released a book of his life drawings with some AMAZING tips. Go buy it!!!!!!!

some google earth studies

Spirited Away- Yubaba

I think my landlady might be Yubaba and it's freaking me out.

More 'o this

... I think I have some kind of blogging addiction.

That must be it.

Shapes- Character!

Still playing around with shapes, now in character design! Some are hits, some are misses. I started my internship yesterday, so I've been doodling away. I did this during a few off minutes at work today; I love it because when I'm not busy photoshopping away on projects for my work, I get free time to mess around with the programs! Soon I'll try messing around with their storyboarding software.

Lasso tool!

An artist I follow sometimes uses the lasso tool for speedpainting. And I tried to find him again but got lost in my list of blogs! Tried it out. Loved it. This one is definitely influenced by Mary Blair's Sleeping beauty work, and some of the stuff Claire Keane did for Tangled.

Old Scary Guy

I don't know, I was bored at omaha steaks.

Every sketchbook needs one unsettling dude.

Getting a handle on perspective

That's a lie I'm still very lost, but at least I'm discovering that I loveloveLOVE perspective/scenery drawing. I never thought I would, but I'm really enjoying this.

The one below was my attempt at simple 2 point. I know, an empty street. How original. But I had fun trying to sort out lighting.

This one I did in the emergency waiting room at like two am. Thankfully my friend was okay, but it gave me some nerve-wracking hours to doodle away. Also this is two point but it somehow turned into one point? Guh???? Help????

This doesn't count as perspective really (atmospheric?) but it fits in the theme of me trying to figure out how to draw scenery. I actually painted this on a wooden tabletop I found at home depot. Kind of cool because it's 20 inches across or so. 

In other news, my tablet finally gave out so I've been pathetically color-free for a while. But that's okay because I can do simple color stuff with just my travel watercolor set!
