Sketchbook Updates

A mini sketchbook update, some doodles from waiting around. From standing in line for a House of Blues concert to ordering an awesome burger at a local burger joint.

On a side note, I'm loving winter break! I took a mini trip to Sarasota, Fl. Absolutely gorgeous weather and wonderful food resulting in a relaxing vacation. My friend Kayla and I went to a local cafe, PastryArt, and had a lovely lunch and sketching session. Here's my friends blog http://kaylaeharb.blogspot.com/

And I also started my Sketchbook Project! Here's a sneak peak.

Embracing our Differences

Winter Break is finally here! I'm very excited to focus on my own personal projects and sketching at cafes. Here is an illustration I did for the end of the semester for the contest Embracing our differences (http://www.embracingourdifferences.org/). My concept behind the piece was that we all share the sun and earth and we are all special and unique. I tried to put my self in a child like mindset, focusing on happiness and sharing. Enjoy!!!

Tuffy's Tale

Has been a very productive week. I'm very anxious for thanksgiving break and relax for a little bit. Below are some promotional images for a group project I had to do for Computer Illustration. We pitched a video game aimed for children, so its very cute and educational. The story is about a girl named Sophie in search for her adorable dog, Tuffy, after he runs of into a creepy wonderland of the Big Bad Wolf. She musters up the courage and enters this scary world accompany by her three trusty piggy companions.  Everything is done in Illustrator. Enjoy!

 I also made stickers, I'm a big sucker for cute things. Here are some designs.

Here are some sticker samples I made.

Old Sketches

 

I found my old sketchbook from last year, I really do enjoy this sketchbook, working on recycled paper is so much fun. I like to use microns with white gel pens for highlights. I'm still on a search for the perfect sketchbook. Here are a few sketches from figure class and Fews.

FEWS

Here is a recent figure painting done in oils. A quick one session pose during Fews, if you haven't been to Fews yet, please go, it's one of the best programs at Ringling, drawing the human form from life is the best practice an artist can get.

Figure!!

Here a little something I did in Figure Painting this week. She was a very pretty model and a nice simple pose.
