Sketchy Doodles

Since I go to art school and all, I figured I should start scanning a lot of my stuff and posting it.  Studio is partially a sketch class so we can work up our hand and find out illustration style.  I migrated towards the art of Trina Schart Hyman who was a prominent illustrator in the 1980's.  She mainly did watercolour work, but it's her delicate pencil line quality that gets me every time.

Also, I'm going to try and keep up with "What I Wore" doodles since it's good practice.  So the last image is what I'm wearing today!  Though I am rather more awake now that the coffee is thrumming in my veins! 

Enjoy.

Mother's Tea 2011

Mother's Tea was amazing!  Just as butterfly-inducing as any onstage performance, only I got to spend the day with classmates and friends.  For all the design changes that my outfit underwent, I'm very happy with the final product and presentation.  We're already thinking up ideas for next year!

Finals - Day One

I am SO looking forward to spending time playing rather than doing schoolwork.  It's become such a chore that I'm not looking forward to next semester, but isn't that how it always is?

The Finals!

It feels like a really long time since I was writing in here last, and things have just been busy.  After Midterms came Thanksgiving, and after that are Finals, and then Christmas, so it's just been non-stop crazy.  Good crazy though.  My drawing class met for the last instructional period on Thursday, hence the paintings.  Sketches really, but you get the idea.  Finally is my little fireplace inspired by the film, Howl's Moving Castle.  I finished all of the construction, and just have to glue a tiny bit together on Tuesday and it will be finished!  I am so very excited about it.  My lighting savvy friends have given me a wee LED and are going to help me get Calcifer all lit up for presentation next Thursday.  More pictures are forthcoming.
