1,000 heads in the making

So Michael Buffington created a group of artists called Drawaholic's Anonymous and also put us up to the challenge of drawing 1,000 heads. Currently there are only 5 people who have completed the task. I plan on making that 6. (MB- I can do it!)

Here is my very slow but steady start.

Past Quarters

Busy packing, starting finals, trying to get ready for summer.
Here is some work from the last 2 quarters.

Love you madly

Hey guys!

Currently obsessed with CAKE's song Love you madly, new ring tone. No other reason for the title. 

Here is my a la prima in class still life, we had to do it in a one 2 hour class period. I'm pretty happy with the result despite the fact that me and acrylic paint don't usually get along.

It was all about capturing the "feeling" of the objects and letting the paint "do it's thing" as Jason Holesher puts it.

Here are some gestures for fun. Hoping to get out of action analysis and take 2D animation in the fall!
Let me know what you think!

Converse

Halla!
 Here are some sketches! :DDD enjoy

Humble Pie

You know some people in this world really need a slice of humble pie, especially if you're not the best- yet...
I know I am good at some things, but I am far from the best- maybe some day I will be the best but until then its time for me to watch, practice and learn.
I want to be a life long learner, it is something I will always enjoy. I love the feeling of change and accomplishment, I love seeing it in other people and that is why I love to teach.

Please take a look at Xavier Robles de Medina's blog, he is an amazing artist pursuing his double BFA in Painting and animation. He is one of those people that I admire greatly, the one who you know will be so great and makes you want to work harder! :)

Back in California I had the most inspiring teacher, Michael Buffington, the original "drawaholic", the Master Jedi. I am but his young and humble padawan.

Soy Sauce

 I like to use lots of different materials.
This sketch is drawn with Soy Sauce, it has a much higher staining ability than vanilla. Pomegranate juice is also very beautiful.

 Ink,
fyi- i drew this before a similar image appeared on the scad bus...
