Character Sketches

I like the kitty the best...
but take a guess as to what each animal is! Put your guesses in the comments section and I'll get back to you if you're right or not!

Storyboard

This is a quick 4-part sketch I did while at school. It's an attempt at storyboarding, though I realize that this is nowhere near what professionals do, and is in reality for like a comic than anything. I'm going to the library to borrow some books, so I'll improve quickly!

NOTE: start at the bottom right corner and work left, then to the top right corner, then left again. I know it's presented in the wrong order...but I drew the last sketch first before I decided to continue the idea.

Portland Metro Scholastic Award

I won the Silver Key Award for my portrait! I entered this just for fun [I'd only recently heard about the competition before the submission deadline], and was ecstatic to find out that I'd won an award! This competition is held annually in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program, which is sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers.

Kidney

Sorry for not posting anything! School has been a whirlwind of major tests, assignments, and projects. Here is a drawing I did following a kidney dissection I performed in my Anatomy and Physiology class. I didn't have a blending stump so the shading is not great, but overall I'm pleased with how it turned out. The dissection itself was really fascinating, and you can see on the right hand corner all of my notes on the sections of the sheep's kidney which my partner and I were able to identify.

Splatter-paint

Here is the finished portrait! I took my inspiration from a photoshoot from ANTM [Thalia], but changed her expression and shifted her face a little. I also made up my own splatter paint pattern. One idea I've been throwing around is using actual splatter-paint...I'm not too sure how it'll turn out but it should prove eventful!

Rawr

This is Leo. He's a blue snow-leopard which I painted before the Thanksgiving break, but didn't have time to scan or upload until now. He got a little washed out from the scanner, I'll upload a better picture in a bit. Enjoy!

P.S
Any suggestions for what animal I should paint next?

Down the Hallway

My favorite spot on campus! This is where I always did work, sat and talked to friends...
