apologies and an explanation

Sorry I haven't posted in ages. I haven't even posted art! Now THAT is lame sauce. So here, have a looksee at a picture I finished:

Technically it's not finished. But I'm satisfied with it and have moved onto other projects. I really need to update this blog with more pictures.

On another note, I have decided to postpone my application to the animation program. Instead of doing it in April, I'll be applying in August. I don't feel like I'm ready right now, and hopefully I'll be able to prepare all summer long.

Cheers!

Sketchy Poo

I was finally able to scan some sketches today! Yee haw.

Sorry about the bad quality of the scan, I'm still trying to figure out how to best scan drawings. And as for the lighthouse...I swear it wasn't crooked when I was drawing it...the lighthouse moved. I swear.

Crappy day for drawing

My animation didn't do so well as I hoped. Oh, well, at least there's do-overs!

Here, have an emo art. I can't draw at all today.

Emo Liesl: drawn in blue for extra mopiness!

Before the day ends

I didn't draw for two hours today like I should've, dang it. But here, this is what I put on my other blog:

Oh, and I've been working on that one babysitting drawing I've been doing, too. I would show it to you, but I'm too lazy. Sorry.

What I worked on for 7 hours today

Pretend there's a video animation of a bouncing ball I did for my class. Strangely enough, basketballs are extremely difficult to draw. I first did a basic outline of the animation and then drew nothing but CIRCLES AND ELLIPSES WHICH ARE THE DEVIL. Then when I finally finished animating, I saved it on Quicktime on a computer at school, copied it to a USB, and was dismayed to discover that I actually don't have Quicktime on my own laptop. Sigh. Sorry I can't give you an animation.

Here, have an exclusive self-portrait I drew in about 5 seconds. I value it to be about, oh, $200, more or less (probably less):

past, present, future

Okay, here's some stuff from the past. Not exactly from my childhood, but still oldish. This first one? 2009. The rest are from 2010, though.

 Okay, here's where we enter into the (mostly) present stuff of 2011:

The first picture is a depiction of my brother and I after a fruitful night of studying at the library, me dancing to "Mrs. Robinson" that they play at the HBLL to kick you out when it closes at midnight. At least, this is the IDEALIZED version. The one below it is probably more accurate.

This one is actually from October 2010. Ugh, I cringe at the anatomy in this one. I drew this for a contest in a group I'm in on DeviantART (I got 2nd place, actually, but it's a growing artists group) in about two hours. It's supposed to be two of my brothers after a successful basketball and/or football game. Or any other sports game, really. The one on the right is my brother's wife, while I'm on the left, laughing at my brother. Man, I would totally redraw this if I wanted to...but getting 2nd place was good enough for me.

Hah. I doodled this one while trying to study logic last September. I'd say it's pretty accurate.

I drew this one in Photoshop the other night after roller blading at Classic Skating. There were kids EVERYWHERE. It was impossible to go faster than .0000134 miles an hour. This picture is still quite a WIP, but the guy's expression makes me laugh.

This one's my baby. I don't know if you can tell what's going on, but there's a hole in that girl's chest and she's holding her heart in her hand. This is also VERY much a work in progress. That guy is a killer to draw. Guys are hard to draw in general. I MUST KEEP PRACTICING.

Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to upload stuff from my sketchbook for my animation class. And then if all goes well, I can put up my SUPER EXCITING animation video of a bouncing ball! WAHOO
