CDA sketches

I'm a little late posting these sketches up, but I was finally able to sit myself and just do it. 

Some of these were drawn at the Tigobo workshop and CDA. Hahah, I hope some of you guys can recognize who some of these people are ;)

Okay, maybe not this lady.

 She was the counselor who was running the Character Animation info session at Calarts.

Lemon doodles

I am finally back at the Chi and I have been working on a mini-board to show what happened when I was trying to come back home. It's not finished yet, but I got side tracked into making these doodles. I've been checking out Rad Sechrist's "Plastic Walrus" photos and it inspired me to do some of my own doodles with value. I hope to be as good as him some day =)

The character's name is Lemon by the way.

I miss Cali...



I will go back...some day.

Joo Hee Son Dancing Star!!

Hey y'all!

My mom and I are finally reunited and having a little week of exploring before I head back home to Chicago.

We got to meet up with our distant relatives from Korea who's visiting LA. I think...they're my 3rd cousins?? lol It gets pretty confusing to explain my family tree. We are just everywhere now. 

Okay, so there's this 11 year old girl and her name is Joo Hee, and man she is SO good at dancing. She can do all these sexy, cute moves while I...sadly can not....She was really excited to see my sketchbook and I told her that I would put her in my sketchbook too. She absolutely loved it and started to dance for me. And of course, I started draw her. 

Here's the size of the drawings, in case you were wondering. 

Now I'm off to Laguna for more people stalking and tanning. Aww yeaaa. 

Ciao!~

Sketch-o-rama Drama!

Haha as you can see, I've done a lot of sketching, BUT this isn't all of them. I still got a lot more to show you guys, however, I'm coming across an issue of how to color these guys in. I've tried multiple ways and I think I might just go with the first one. It's simple and it gets the values down quick and easy.

haha I kinda went crazy and experimental on this one.

Really into it

From now on, I think I'll try to post some of my people sketches that I've been doing.

I've been cafe sketching almost everyday and it's a lot of fun :)

I am 20 Years Old!!!

Hey guys,

So... I've realized how the numbers of "how I look young" comments have been popping up in my twentieth year of my life. Unfortunately, I haven't passed looking 16. It's quite sad really... If I wear make up I can at least bump it up to 18. Here's a short little mini-board to show what usually happens. True story by the way.

Meanwhile, Luke was really paranoid about the parasites that he might've gotten from petting a sick golden retriever. 

Sheriff Bigs

On Monday, I had my first costumed figure drawing session, and I had a blast! The model was fantastic because he really looked and acted like a cowboy. My instructor advised us to play around with the character design of the model and to tell our own story through our drawings. This is what I exactly love doing, so it was SO much fun. I gotta admit, it was strange at first because I was so used to drawing people with accurate proportions, but I got the hang of it. 

30 second poses

Then onto 5 minute poses:

After awhile, I kinda made a character out of him and I named him Sheriff Bigs.

 He's not exactly the kind of sheriff you would like running the town.

He does whatever he wants to do...

Act like the big boss...

And be a ladies man.

Nonetheless, he likes to take his work seriously and does his best to keep things in order. 

No one really likes to hang out with him

but he still has his poker nights. 

 Even though he could be an annoying, cocky, stubborn, mean cowboy, he's a character with a big heart.

Oh...and...

Last night, I came back home and saw Yepe super excited to see me. Delighted to see him all cute, I gave him a nice belly rub and soothing petting session until..he decides to pee right in front of the kitchen door....Oy..
