Bloom and Grow - Pencils

Just a little mini comic I whipped up last week. It's pencil on vellum. My process of working normally  involves layers of tracing paper, but I decided to try vellum this time instead. I like how the graphite sticks to it! The idea to try vellum was inspired by Anna Bongiovanni's comic, Moon Baby. 

This little mini is destined for some watercolor! I'm going to paint the flowers back to health; they'll change from a crispy yellow to a puffy pink. I was inspired by my mom's flower garden while visiting home. They were lovely and I hated the thought of them withering during the coming chilly season. I want to keep them beautiful forever with my paint!

Princess Serenity

It always feels good to sit down with watercolors. Photoshop is magical for painting, but even with a cintiq, the feeling isn't quite as satisfying as having paint on paper. So~ here's Princess Serenity of Sailor Moon! Minus her poofy sleeves. I figured, the sleeves are detached from the dress, so she must have to put them on separately. So, as she's getting ready at the beginning of the day, or in the evening, winding down, she may look like this. Or hey- maybe some days she doesn't feel like wearing poofy sleeves! Here's the lovely model who was the inspiration for this piece- Saraqael.

Metacon

Yaaay! Last weekend I shared a table in Metacon's artist alley with my friend, Dennis Lo! I sold some new bookmarks and prints and met other cool artists, including my alley neighbors, Jen Riehm and Leandra Cota. To everyone who stopped by, thank you so much! The very best part of artist alley was talking with everyone! Thank you also to all of my friends who have done this before-- you gave me very good advice on how to be prepared and how to not be nervous. I know to never be without snacks, plenty of change, and yummy coffee to keep me chipper!

Figure Drawing Sketch Dump

Sketches from mid-June to mid-July. I've been drawing from models on Deviant Art in order to BEEF UP my figure drawing skills! I used the stock photos of kxhara and SenshiStock, along with some other random images. Beef it up, beef it up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PB and Marceline Doodles

Katie and I dressed up as Marceline and Princess Bubblegum at the Sci-Fi Fantasy convention CONvergence a few days ago. I've got Adventure Time on the brain!

Animinneapolis

Today, I sold some bookmarks at Animinneapolis! It was my first time selling at an anime convention and although I didn't have much to sell, I learned a lot. Thank you, Heather Taylor and Jamie McNeil, for letting me get in on your table! You rock! I'm SO READY for the next convention, Anime Fusion, in October!!
