Figure Drawing

Here's a few from last week's figure drawing session at UC Berkeley.

IF: Leap, part 2

This is a Christmas gift I made for my girlfriend, but it fit the topic of "Leap" too well not to post. She's a dancer and loves leaping...and also likes pandas. The Chinese characters you see actually say "bear" + "cat"...which is panda. Did you know Pandas weren't discovered until the 1860s?

IF: Leap

I don't think I've ever completed an IF topic in one day, on the first day. But today was Leap Day and I had to do it. This is a little less cartoony than usual for me. TabletPC and Photoshop.

Illustration Friday: Multiple

Multiple cups of tea, that is. This was a Christmas present for my mom, these are her two cats.

Tilden Botanical Garden

Here's a quick watercolor from the botanical garden at Tilden Park in Berkeley. Also, I just got back from WonderCon and it was amazing! (Got to be in the same room with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Chris Carter!!!) Then I went to the Early Bird Painters show and met Mike Dutton and Dice Tsutsumi. Beautiful work from everyone in that show. Oscars tomorrow - let's see if Ratatouille can go five for five. Also, I saw a slew of clips from WALL-E at WonderCon and let's just say it looks like the best Pixar film ever. (But I say that every time a new one comes out...)

Some figure drawing

I got myself a TabletPC last week. I'm still getting used to it, but here are a few sketches from Saturday's figure drawing session. These were done in ArtRage.

Illustration Friday: Choose

This alley cat's got lots of delicious garbage to choose from! This is my sister's cat, James, who enjoys eating anything. (Pasta, eggplant, cookies, beans, bread, etc.)
