The Fall semester has finally ended.. but work hasn't! I'll be doing a lot of illustrations over the break including research for my senior thesis! Here are some of the pieces I finished :)

and something I drew for fun, just some more fanart from Homestuck (:

I wanted to see if maybe I could redo my fashion assignment I had earlier this semester so I started messing around with some sketches.. here's one of the tight sketches!

Watching Futurama lately while I work on illustrations and sometimes you just get the urge to draw fanart..so I did! Plus I got to mess with colors/painting a little. I feel like I am getting close to a new way of painting that's lots of fun..

Also did some fanart from my favorite webcomic at the moment, Homestuck. It's Jake English!

Working on some of the final illustrations of the year!

and also a quick illustration of my friends I did to warm up!

I saw Rise of the Guardians last night and I just had to draw the toothfairy.. also I really want to draw ALL the characters? What an amazing film!

Visual Development & Sketches

We are on our final assignment for Visual Development now! We were asked to do a fairy tale from our ethnic background and since I have roots in Spain and Cuba I decided to do The Lion's Enchantment which originates from Spain. (:

I named the character's after my parents since there are no proper names in the story? I was also doodling some favorite characters of mine from a webcomic I follow, Homestuck.

And now...it's back to work!

Drama assignment, environments

We just finished the drama assignments in Visual Development class which involved putting the characters we already created in an environment with drama.

And a sketch from children's book..

What's Veronica up to?

Just finished some illustrations in class! Open ended fashion illustration:

And a piece for the local music festival held annually in Sarasota, La Musica. :)

I've also been making some slow but steady progress on my children's book illustrations! I'm really happy to be doing a story that was told to my mother in Cuba by her grandmother. I am calling it "The Jeweled Doors". Here are some visual development images for that:

Visual Deveopment

In Visual Development we finished an assignment recently called Genesis! It involved three parts, one was doing 100 silhouettes and 50 doodles and then picking two silhouettes and one doodle to explore. These were mine:

And then we did part two which called for looking for character in texture and clouds etc. Lots of fun!

And finally our last exploration involved merging elements. We were giving a pair of random things to merge. The first was an animal and a vehicle. I was given a gorilla and ATV.

The second was an animal and an insect and I was given a ferret and green darner dragon fly

At the moment we are doing environments in which we place out character into that will give a sense of drama! I'll update with those later! :)

Some sketches

Just some sketches :)

Going to try doing some villainous characters and maybe roughish guys? girls? Could be fun! :)

Commission Mission!

Just got a small commission that was big fun to do. They wanted a banner to go on their youtube page so here it is! This was a lot of fun to work on. :)

Illest of Ill Submission

So it's my second time since Sophomore year in which I submit something other than a sketchbook...here goes nothing!

Detail shots:

I have more things to post but I'll go ahead and do that later... see you next time <3

Illest of Illustration T-Shirt Design

So they are holding a contest for Illest of Ill! I went ahead and designed a shirt for it.. didn't have the time to bust out a poster but oh well :) I had a lot of fun and tried something a bit different than usual.

Just finished two digital paintings done from reference:

And also did this last painting class with a live model, i'll post the progression since I saved between breaks:

Alright! I have a lot more work to put up.. I'll do that soon :)

work work work

as always! Here's one of the environments I am working on:

And working on this as well advanced computer illustration:

Just need to add some more weighted lines and then I can start work on the other two companion pieces.

Also next time I will post a comic :)
