Oof, an update

Sorry about the last two weeks, I haven't really had anything I specifically wanted to share. I've been meaning to convert some motion tests and "studies" from Animation Basics I. Right now we're story boarding and drawing up ideas for our final project. Been doing multiple things in my Phobias & Obsessions class, going back and redoing a project. Have a lot of sketch book drawings from my Natural History drawing class. I'll probably share the more finished pieces from that class toward the end of the semester. My book illustration class we've mostly been doing out concepts, and I honestly need to haul some ass in that class, but when I get it together I'll be sharing that. I've been busier with school that I expected at the beginning of the year, but I'm just dying to take a break and do my own work, get out my own ideas. I just feel bad whenever I put my own work first before school since I AM paying money for school.

Fear of Pee-Wee Herman from my phobia's class.

From my Natural History class. We had to take an article about weeds, & design the page with an illustration we did from our sketchbook.

Just a couple pages from my personal sketch book of some ladies and butts. I would post more from my sketchbook but I sort of plan on going back through it and making a lot of finishes from stuff I jotted down and drew. If I don't finalize anything by, I don't know, the end of the semester/school year I'll just post it on here. I don't know... should I post that stuff anyway or just wait till I've made finished pieces? I'll be starting a new sketchbook soon too.

Some Crafts from last semester

Some stuff from last semester. A toy made from recycled trash for experimental illustration and a book that I made for my sequential illustration class. I also have a "stand-up" type book I made for the same sequential class illustrating personal growth, done with paint, thread, marker and modified paper.

OOF

You know that feeling when you literally have a million things to do? Yeah, well, I do. I don't like it. Have a convention this weekend. Have an exam tomorrow that I need to study for. Have homework I want to redo, touch up, finish, etc. Time to workworkwork.

Lines that make bodies

Oof. Now I can go do some homework. Semi sort of behind from stomach flus to ulcers to colds. A great start to a school year. Sorry for the brief updates.

These are the last of the gesture drawings from my Anatomy class first semester of last year. Most are two minute poses, but there's one that's a 20 minute pose (and obviously not a gesture). Some are five minute poses. Grabbin' my tea to workworkworkwork.

And by Thursday I mean two hours into Friday, right?

No. Yes.

Here are some sketches from my editorial natural history drawing class. It's sort of fun to experiment with some mediums I previously hated and get a new feel of just being messy. I actually really enjoy this class, but the work itself I don't like. While I do like what I've been doing in class, I personally don't think it's art so much as "hobbyist art". But hey, maybe that's just me having to shoot down everything I do as an artist. Maybe I've been an art school too long... who knows, I was jerk enough without the elitist art spewl. I happen to have a tumblr now, by the way: Link. I have a pretty cute background I made on there (and twitter) too. [The skulls are of a parona, a rabbit, a bird and a rat for the BG.]

Some Homework I Guess

Yeah, so, I forgot yesterday was Thursday. Here are some sketches for school assignment on plant phobias and an illustration I did for fun. I'll give more details next post I guess.

Hey, hey, hey

I've been a little behind on keeping up with blog posts and keeping up with a few of my favorite artists that I watch over here on blogspot and over on Deviantart. I'm mostly moved into the new apartment except for the three huge boxes sitting in the middle of my room begging to be unpacked, but I have better things to do, honestly. I have homework (school has started), personal projects galore and video games. Oh boy, have I been playing Fallout: New Vegas a lot lately this past week or so.

With the start of this new school year I have a handful of really great classes. I'm taking Animation Basics, Advanced Computer Illustration, and a few drawing illustration classes with a more narrative and editorial touch with a little anatomy and physiology class to top it off. I have a pretty heavy-duty schedule, but all that aside I still have several projects lined up in my little mind to get down on paper and up on a monitor. I've taken down notes for short term goals and personal due dates to make sure I can actually get things done for my personal enjoyment and growth outside of school assignments.

As I said, I'm still behind on posting older school work from last year, but I still want to share this junk with you guys so I'm gonna get that down and eventually get to my new sketchbook work... which, honestly, I probably won't upload a lot of. Now I have most of an entire sketchbook almost filled, but they way I sketch for personal thoughts is less readable for viewers than for me. There's stuff that I've fleshed out, and I'll share that. I'm really good at going on tangents of unneeded information by the way.

Anyway, the point--THE POINT--we don't want to miss the point.

One: I'm setting an official update, blogging day for myself. THURSDAYS.
[ This day will probably change for next semester or if I exerience any huge changes to my schedule. ]
Two: My Personal projects. Just so when I'm only updating tidbits here and there of doodles when I'm bored in between real work you all know I'm actually working on relvant, legit work.
Anyway, I'll be working on:
* 20 Costumed, Character Concepts
* Some Environmental studies & concepts
* A one shoot, modern/fantasy/gore comic
* A comic rewrite of an old short story
* A self bound, illustrated book
* Possible sculpture, nicknack-making
Three: I lost my job so expect commissions once I wrap a few things up and get examples and prices together. Give me all the money.

ALSO. I love my friends and we are mature.

Notice the ocd time stamps.

Suddenly, ART. In no particular order. Gestures.
