I’m pretty excited for this random product. I think I was browsing a generic shoujo blog on Tumblr and saw this tiny gif of someone paint bucketing a pair of shoujo girl eyes black to create a classic manga look. I saw it and I was all OKAY THIS NEVER OCCURRED TO ME, and then […]
If only it weren’t so perfectly transparent when it’s summertime and I start using pale yellow in ALL my pictures, hah. I bet you my color choices are actually seasonal though. Cool blues or dark reds for winter, warm pale yellows for summer, and sometimes heather pink. It’s teaching season right now and I’m in […]
2016 has been a crazy, and somewhat unrewarding year so far. A big part of me couldn’t be surprised that after everything that was accomplished in 2015, 2016 just sort of…arrived. What’s worse, I stopped being particularly good at handling the stress of paying rent (for the first time), working full-time (which recently went through […]
On a particularly hormone-induced night of bursting creativity, I grabbed some paint and I was all like I’M GONNA MAKE BACKGROUNDS. I realized this because I usually do like lineart I do on the computer, but I never get much farther than that with it, because the computer just makes everything look so…computery. Technical. […]
I felt increasingly guilty about posting my paintings on Facebook and not my blog, especially after my blog not working earlier today due to my stupid tangled hosting issues. So here are the two watercolors of pretty people that I did this last weekend. My phoenix girl (Ryan asked if I was paying homage to […]
Putting this together made me feel super productive, because I have a lot more moderately finished pictures than I thought IN UNDER A MONTH!! (It’s been months since I’ve posted less than a month apart!) I’ve started my new job and I. LOVE. IT. I love my students, I love my coworkers (that’s saying a […]
After a brief artistic dry spell after vacation, I’ve emerged with flying colors and produced a spree of amusing doodlies. It’s all gonna be done now. I start teaching for a week and then my REAL JOB starts! Ryan and I move into our own apartment in 38 days, so to take advantage of […]
WHAT IS THIS?! Two digital drawings in two days, and I LOVE THEM BOTH?! Who am I?! My digital drawing experience is so weird because I have to force myself to revert back to the kind of freedom that I had when I was drawing as a teenager. As an adult I have developed such […]
Oh, my, gosh! After a somewhat disgruntled time with Manga Studio in the last few weeks, I finally switched back to working in Photoshop and kickstarted my interest in doing so by finding myself some better brushes to work with. I took my tablet out today while I had company (tsk, tsk) and just started […]
Literally don’t have anything to say about these drawings…but they’re cute and they’re what I’ve been working on in the last month!
