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!!

pretty animals at the zoo!

I went to the SF zoo with cool people and drew some animals this tuesday. so much fun. :) bought the membership so i will be coming back for sure! :) i got to paint a rhino that day. watercolors. i can't remember how long it took for this though.

i'm so excited. woke up today and decided to finally paint the little tomatoes that we have at home. :) it felt longer than 30 minutes but it was really fun! Next time i need to buy gouache and start to paint with that like my peeps. x)

my first page of my summer sketchbook! done in watercolor. the scanner killed the colors so i had to fix it a little. watercolor is hard... >_<

Art 28 final animation

while I'm on a roll, i thought i'll also post my final animation for Art28. That's our intro to animation? class. I always forget the real title for classes.

This took so long to do, but also was so much fun. Somehow my animation got into the final animation showing that our school does. We were supposed to pick the top 3 animation from our class. I think I got really lucky, there was so many other animations from my class that was really really good. I have to thank my fellow classmates... Thank you! :)

I also put in this animation with my portfolio, however we have to make it anonymous.. and sadly my name was a part of the animation. That took forever to do... I had to borrow people's USB and the computer had to die.. and just.. so many complications happened.. it gave me a headache... -_-;; thank god that's over.. !
