Happy 30th anniversary Bill and Ted! ~~Wow I can’t believe they’ve been married this long.~~

January Sketches

Here are a couple sketches I’ve done outside of class; I’ve been taking a month-long figure drawing course. I will definitely upload some of that work when I finish!

Two generic felid characters. I was practicing chibi-like proportions on the left and open jaws on the right.

A Grace Jones-esque model type character. I tried to draw the same character from two different angles; I think the noses are a bit off, but she mostly looks the same.

Trying out Photoshop. Still getting the hang of line work, but I doodled a good boy.

Sketch of my favorite bird.

Also @ the Gotham costume department: when will we see the return of Oswald’s glorious cross ties and those cool pseudo Lennon shades he wore in the pilot?

Quick sketch of my fursona. Just an iPhone picture because I’m in Florida for USTA trampoline nationals! I’ll be uploading a video about how it went next week.

Just finished Aggretsuko. What can I say, I have a weakness for hyenas.

A birthday gift for my father; his favorite animal (or mammal anyway) is a cheetah. Based on this old picture of him

Wishing everyone a happy Easter! In light of this rabbit themed holiday, I thought it would be fun to draw a bunny character enjoying Easter egg hunting. 🙂

Second piece from my watercolor class. Utilized a few different techniques: “drawing” with the paint instead of pencil and taking the reference photo less literally than the still life from my last piece. I really like how this turned out!
