Final pages for Zipa project.

This Tuesday was the final due date for the Zipa project that we've been working on for our advanced illustration class. While i was happy with the character i did, the environment needs much much more work.I should really work on it some more. But I'm really excited to work on the new project too!

More progress work from the Zipa project. I'm having a difficult time making the environments more asymmetrical. However, my character was really fun to make. The coming tuesday is our final day for our first project. I want to finish out strong; so this means I have to work hard. The painting at the top is a illustration for our word of the week: Titanic.

Zipa!

Second week of school! A few pages from my illustration class. We are doing a project based on the myth of El Dorado. One character and one environment. Interesting stuff. Definitely having lots of fun in class. But need to figure out a schedule so I can better utilize my time. Also here's a little something from Cory Loftis. I love his stuff and our teacher made us bring a favorite artist to class. I brought Cory Loftis! So much appeal, texture, and fun! Love his colors and the things he does.

Gouache paintings

Second week of school! For my illustration class we are assigned a weekly word to create a piece exclusively using tradition media. The first painting is for the word "promise" and it was really fun to do! I wanted to do something that wasn't very obvious so after mulling over it on the weekend I made something reminiscent of a childhood promise. Definitely have to do better on staging and posture. The second painting is from the winter figure drawing marathon session that I attended over the break. Our last day is a painting class with Cameron Chun and we did this painting for around 6 hours. I think it's my second time using gouache for figure painting. It was really fun, but was quite a challenge too. 

Bufallos and horses

School just started! There will be a lot of things going on this semester, I hope I can do well! Saw an episode of Fatal Attraction today and there's a story featured in it about a man and his buffalo that he lets inside of his house. There are also other stories about people who have obsessions with animals and got killed by them. Speaking of farm animals, it's almost Chinese New Years! This year will be the year of the horse! 

death and revival

study of a shot from Spike Jonze's "Her"

So, my old dell laptop of 4 years died last week, and a couple of days ago I bought a new laptop with the help of my dear friend Mr. Edric Yamamoto. It's a good thing he helped me because I have no clue at all about technology. While this computer is not as big as the other one it's definitely stronger and more capable of things than my old one did. It's quite amazing how much technology advances in 4 years. 

Also, if you haven't watched "Her", go watch it!
