Personal

Whoa, what’s with her all of a sudden?

People are so quick to point the finger when others treat them badly that they fail to realize that they themselves can be assholes sometimes. Take me, for instance. I would hope that most folks think I’m a nice gal, but that doesn’t mean I’m incapable of being a pill when a situation arises. As one inevitably did last Friday night: The scene was Dynamic Circus, a figure drawing workshop… Read More »Whoa, what’s with her all of a sudden?

Tiki Girl

Went to Nelson Creative Spaces with the illustrator dream team Leen Isabel and Nguyen Dong for Tiki Girl, a themed costume life drawing event hosted by Pierre Bernard. The model of the evening was Jennifer Fabos Patton, who is practically Queen of the Gallery Girls, so a successful turnout was inevitable. I was satisfied with the fruits of my labor, of ballpoint pen etchings over failed attempts with Palomino Blackwing… Read More »Tiki Girl

CTN 2013 and 2014: a photo essay

  • by

For this photo essay, we’re flashing back to 2013, back to my very first experience at CTN Expo, where I spent most of it working at my cubemate and co-worker David Boudreau’s booth. Sitting next to us, was character designer and animator Craig Knowles, who hails from Manchester, England. When he wasn’t chatting with CTN attendees, he was sketching away on post-its. Here’s a post-it sketch that he gave me.… Read More »CTN 2013 and 2014: a photo essay

Inktober: Day 3

Remembering my brief stint at MLG Productions with this drawing of Torunn, daughter of Thor. I was a freelance storyboard revisionist for “Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow.” Don’t bother looking for my name in the credits, though. You won’t find it because there was no obligation for the studio to credit freelancers on the project. That being said, I had a completely different drawing in mind for today’s post, but… Read More »Inktober: Day 3

Inktober: Day 2

Day 2 of Inktober, and still standing. Here’s another original character of mine. My drawings never seem to turn out the way I plan them to be. I’m kind of embarrassed, honestly, but I’m not going to let it stop me. Might as well fail spectacularly on the way to success.

Inktober: Day 1

Attempting Inktober for the first time ever. I hope I’ll be able to keep up with the daily posts. First entry is a character from one of two comics that I’m working on. Man, there’s too many ideas in my head. It’s hard to choose just one!

Peaches

Been a member of Girls Drawin’ Girls for two years now, and this is my first time participating in their weekly theme challenge. Better late than never. This week’s theme is “Peaches” to celebrate National Peach Month. Drawing is inspired by a girl I saw on stage at the Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena with Ceci Bastida last Friday night.

Birthday drawings

Birthday drawings for my friend Kristen and my co-worker Doug, featuring Sailor Jupiter from “Sailor Moon” and Lois Griffin as Yukari Hayasaka from “Paradise Kiss.” Drawn and colored on 4″ X 6″ post-its with blue Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil, sepia Faber-Castell Pitt artist brush pen, and Prismacolor warm grey markers. I posted the drawings to their Facebook pages by snapping photos of them with my iPhone, and applying filters with the… Read More »Birthday drawings
