Princess Tutu

Princess Tutu, in all her loveliness. <3

I started this piece with the intention of doing a simple flat color style, like below. What I envisioned as the end result wound up as only a stepping stone in the process. ^^

Opera Sketches ~ The Giver

The Minnesota Opera's production of The Giver was very enveloping. I tried to document a bunch of cool moments in gesture drawings and I couldn't help but jot down a lot of the intriguing dialogue, too. Here they are- cropped and assembled chronologically.

It looks like blogger doesn't allow you to zoom in on this. Sorry about that! You can see all the details if you visit my DeviantArt! :)

I thought this moment was really funny and cute! --In a grey world, the main character starts to see colors here and there. His friend must have thought he was really weird when he reached out to poke her!

Thor and Loki

I'm quite fond of the Princes of Asgard... <3 Daydream doodles.

Life Drawings

It's been a while since I've attended life drawing sessions aside from Dr. Sketchy's! These are 2 and 5 minute sketches. I like finding gestures, but I struggle with longer poses. I'd rather capture the acting than the details of the form... That says a lot about what I need to learn! I will be attending many life drawing sessions this summer.

Zanther's Imagination

Avery and Zanther- Characters of mine and Katie's. We've been doing a challenge back and forth with each other, wherein she writes a story and I illustrate a moment from it; then I'll make an illustration, and she'll write a story around it. This moment has nothing to do with the main event of her story... it was inspired by a tiny bit of dialogue. Oops... There are just so many possibilities when given such a rich prompt! It was fun and I learned stuff, so it's all good in my book. ^^

Tifa

A cute lil' portrait of Final Fantasy 7's kick-butt heroine, Tifa. :)

Ruby and William

I've been revisiting the idea of my senior comic, "Ruby". There are so many cool things that can happen in this story! My dilemma has always been choosing how many things to include, and what to leave out. This is a huge painting by the way. 18x24. It feels awesome working large!
