FInally a tablet..

So it's been my dream for a really long time now.. to get myself a tablet.
Now i can cross that off the list cause i got ones YEAH! i caught the ups guy while he was delivering stuff in my apartment.. well my mom did, but then i asked him to give me my tablet. lol especially since i didn't get it last friday.. my poor brother was asleep and he didn't hear the knocks of the ups guy -_-;;

so i decided to take mah shiny new tablet for a ride and do some work xD here's what i did today. My first speed painting! i didn't really check how long it took though >_> i think about an hour..

it's from this picture my friend gave me


also i thought i'll work on artie for a lil bit. i will do some more of that in the morning before i go draw naked ppl :3 .


best purchase of the year!! xD special thanks to Jonathan Apilado, Diem Doan and Dang Nguyen and Goro Fujita!!

Suhita Challenge!!!

me and my friend Jonathan Apilado did a Suhita Challenge today.. i mean yesterday... This lady is really awesome :) . She rough sketches items or scenes using blind contour or semi blind contour then she uses watercolors to color it. The resuly is really beautiful and whimsical and also very loose and fluid. i love it.

check her out at.. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SketchAway?ref=top_trail#

Inspired by her we decided to do something similar to her work. xD here's what i did. Check out Jon's blog to see what he did! :)

Here's what i did

kinda bad picture quality x( . but i liked how fluid it is. :) not as good as Suhita's though!! Need to learn how to use watercolor better and to blind contourr :)

Character designs: Artie, Homer, Johannah and Sleppy

Here's some character designs for the summer project i'm working on with a few awesome friends from San Jose State. The story is about an abused child who has a drunkard for a father. This child is saved only from retreating to his imagination. I think it'll be really fun to animate. I'm looking forward to see this project finished!! xDD hopefully that time will come soon!!




Still very rough though. I'll update soon with more newer things done yesterday!!
