IF: Sight


Finally! Got around to actually doing another one of these themes.
This one is based off when I was 7 or 8 when I got glasses for the first time and being unable to see distance, it was an amazing sight to be able to see leaves in detail far away. It was almost as amazing as that time I could read the "Do not park, Fire line" in parking lots.

Was playing around with coloring. I haven't really nailed down a style for coloring in photoshop yet but I like playing around.

When I finally get my scanner working, I'll have sketches to show.

Have a nice rest of the week!

Illustration Friday.

Captain Amermouse

Finally everything is coming together! No more schoolwork so now I can work on important things in life! Like drawing Captain America as a mouse.
Shhhhhhhhh
It's for my little brother who is graduating high-school and going off to college.
I'll probably draw a Loki mouse because a friend asked me too.

Can't wait for tomorrow. I haven't been able to buy myself a comic for months and I want to get into Hawkeye comics.

Thesis set up.

Oh wow. Blogger changed everything hasn't it? Oh dear.

So I haven't been able to update blogger for one big reason.
This:
Bam! Thesis wall.
Two more prints than I was originally planning too. And there's even more spreads in the little booklet, not the whole story but quite a chunk from it. The story would have been 35ish pages if I got it all done but I only had 3 months for all this because I changed my thesis halfway through the year, but this is more than I thought I would have. I just needed 4 up, I got 6 up and about 3 more spreads in the book with a few extra paintings.
And a little Juniper Bonsai tree:
I have dubbed him Crowley for silly reasons. He is one out of 8 and of 2 that survived through winter of my dad's set. The poor thing but I have been taking care of him. 
He's a very good plant.

One more detail shot of the prints together.
It's quite scary right now. I wrote this before the show even opened Wednesday night but thought it would better to show off the next day. I'll add anything needed when this goes up in case anything exciting happens.

Once school is over and I gave in my last essay, everything will clam down and the real world begins. I'll be working some comics and illustrations I have been wanting to work on for months now. My etsy shop will have more things to sell and things will be moving.

Thank you for reading and wait for more to come~!

Everything coming together.

It's exciting as it is slowly getting close to the end of the year as much as it is nerve-racking.
Been trying to draw a cover for my thesis all day but it is one of those blah days. Thankfully there's this amazing thing called photoshop! Yay. So I am just drawing the rest on here and inking tomorrow.
I am also my own model as you can see in the back. Also Pascha, the wooden head. I am going to hate giving him back at the end of the year.

ALSO VERY EXCITING:
Business cards! My very own! I'm all professional now. Also the same mouse from the top of my blog. He's just going to be my little buddy for this year's promos. He's cool. World War 1 mouse.

Other than thesis, I have been drawing Fanart of Good Omens and if you haven't read this, I suggest you do. It is the story that kept me calm in my junior year.
I am hoping to ink them at one point and color but I am still trying to figure out what to do with them.

I'm tired.

Thesis Progress.

Since I haven't been working on Illustration Friday drawings like I wanted to, I decided to show off a bit of how some of my thesis is coming along and showing one of the inks of a the drawing I showed in an earlier post.
All inked and fixed a bit in Photoshop. I should hopefully have it painted tomorrow along with at least two others.
I little screenshot of a makeshift spread I am trying to work at. There seems to be something a miss and I can't remember what that may be.

And since I am showing you that page anyway, here's a little sketch for it I am proud of:
I'm not sure if my idea I have is going to work but I thought I'd at least show it off because I do like the pencil lines.


I need to make sure I have two spreads in context by Wednesday next week so those come first. Good thing I don't have classes tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Not before your brother.

Because someone did ask about what my thesis is about.
It's the Grimm Fairytale "The Juniper Tree." I'm drawing different parts from it. I would like to create a book at the end but that might be too much for me to get done.

This is something from my thesis. I wish I could show you the inking I finished today of it but scanners have a habit of not working in my parents' household. Ah well.
I just love drawing little girls' clothes!

Also a little fanart of Adventure Time! The Flame Princess is my favorite character.
Just the lineart. I'm thinking of playing with thicker lines but I never tried that in photoshop so it should be a nice experiment. I plan on coloring it later, probably after I draw a few more things for thesis.

Enjoy.

IF: Capable

So I decided to start up the Illustration Friday topic to get myself moving and have more than trees to show off. And I think "capable" is a great word to start with don't you think?

Done with sepia ink.
