Perfect Weather

My favorite weather. 

Nice, sunny day.

Cool breeze.

Rich blue sky with puffy, white clouds.

Fall is in the air.

Point of view

You know.
I'm sure many of you go through this all the time, but whenever I have those days when I'm super tired that I can't keep my eyes wide open or too lazy to lift my head to look at a person's face, people usually think I'm angry. Especially the taller group of people.

Angry?

No, I'm just tired. Some of my friends that are my height can recognize it, but not the others.

So here's what I think is happening...

A person of my height's perspective...

And then a death glare for those who are way up high...

>_<;;



I'm sorry :(
I swear I don't mean it...sometimes :)

Swingin' By

Since I've been back I hung out with my mom a lot, and she's the perfect sketching buddy because she just sits there and enjoys the scenery with me. I guess that's the benefits of drawing with an older person. 

Speaking of which, when my mom and I visited the Chicago Botanical Gardens, we sat in a Chicago Blues concert where the elderly and their families were just chilling.

 It was glorious.

 One of the things that I love to draw are the elderly. They are such intriguing characters filled with history and blandness.  It's great.

So here they are.

This girl was actually from Caribou, but I thought I'd just slip this in here.

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.
