Pair On a Bear

2010-02-27T04:35:00.000-08:00

This one started off as a drawing challenge with my coworkers a while back. We had to combine the words "pear" and "bear" in a drawing somehow, but I decided to interpret the word "pear" as a "pair". :) I redid my illustration here and gave it a splash of color~fun times! ^_^

My Snow-Kirby

2010-01-02T23:19:00.000-08:00

Over the holiday break, I took a trip to Big Bear with some family and friends. There was a ton of space on the mountain so I decided to make a Kirby out of snow. What a fun time! ^_^

Special thanks goes to Mike Altamirano for his helpful suggestions.

From Me to You! =)

Something I Like

2009-10-29T22:25:00.000-07:00

Paper Rose

2009-10-20T22:47:00.000-07:00

I made this paper flower a while back but just got pictures of it.

Scribbles

2009-10-20T00:10:00.000-07:00

Wanted to scribble today...we all gotta do this at some point. :)

Collage Piece

2009-10-08T01:08:00.000-07:00

I was in the mood to try something new so after gathering a bunch of old videogame magazines and such, I started tearing up pieces and assembling them. The concept was loosely based off a sketch I did when drawing with my pals. :) It's hard to tell what it is, but I just had fun with the piece.

Drawing with Friends Is Always Fun! ^_^

2009-08-30T14:14:00.000-07:00

On Saturday a bunch of us went sketching by Gallery Nucleus and I started a drawing, then passed my sketchbook around the table so everyone in the group could add to it. It was a fun exercise and this is what we came up with:

This other drawing evolved from the swirly blue line my friend drew in my book (it's in the center of the piece). There was really loud music blaring at our hangout spot so on I decided to make the piece about music.

Letting It Flow

2009-08-02T15:58:00.000-07:00

I was in one of those moods where you're blanking out but your hand just keeps going. Before I knew what happened, this bear showed up first, followed by the rest of the picture. I next thought what would a giraffe want to wear? :)

These were more drawing challenges with coworkers, and so much fun! The first was combine the following words into a drawing: wasp, leg, and deity. The second was much harder because we tried to combine 6 words together: diminutive (tiny), flight, cactus, squid, raccoon, milk carton. Hahha, too many words is not recommended. ^_^

Trying to Keep It Loose

2009-07-19T22:32:00.000-07:00

Here's a fun study of Charlotte off a "Castlevania Portrait of Ruin" advertisement, and also another off a photograph I took in Switzerland. I'd like to go back in and add more detail to the town, but for the time being it is what it is. :)

Use The Line

2009-07-06T00:24:00.000-07:00

In this drawing challenge, the artists in our group rotated sketchbooks and drew random lines on a blank page of someone else's book. The books were then returned to their original owners, and the owner had to turn that line into a drawing.

The colored line below is the original line done by Alex. I then turned his line into a pirate treehouse. :)

More Delineations

2009-06-30T02:12:00.001-07:00

Here was a warm-up sketch of the Irvine Spectrum I did during one of our lunchtime drawing sessions. Also the trailer for the new "Castlevania" game looked cool so here was a Prismacolor mock-up of the character, Death. :) That was a fun one!

Interpreting Anne of Green Gables

2009-06-25T22:48:00.001-07:00

I've been listening to audio books for the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery and was really inspired by the main character. Here's a painting I did.

Really in the Mood for Drawing Challenges!

2009-06-20T01:28:00.000-07:00

Here were a couple from the past week.

The group came up with these 4 random words to throw into a picture:
Broccoli, Wings, Nap, Drunk

My next group thought up these 3 words:
Wings, Banana, Priest

Practice Continues

2009-06-18T00:27:00.000-07:00

Here's another Prismacolor one, along with a couple of other sketches. I was drawing out of a magazine and sadly the center model really was as skinny as the drawing.

Prismacolor Practice

2009-06-06T12:57:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to experiment and work more with my Prisma Color markers. I've had them for years, and it doesn't make sense to have packs and not use them right? :P Here were some studies:

Drawing Challenges

2009-04-20T23:36:00.000-07:00

My coworkers and I have been taking the time to do drawing challenge sketches. This exercise involves everyone throwing out a random word and making a drawing combining all the words together.

There were 3 of us, so with the 3 key words, I came up with these doodles. It was really fun seeing what the other guys came up with in the end because we all had such different ideas. :)

Animal Studies

2009-03-27T00:09:00.001-07:00

Lately been in the mood to brush up on some animal drawing. Here were some studies from the Vilppu Animal Drawing Manual. :)

Happy Holidays!

2008-12-25T13:24:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas to Everyone and Happy New Year!! ^_^

Lady Holding a Spindle

2008-10-27T22:18:00.000-07:00

I've lately just been wanting to have fun on my blog, so here's a quick study off a picture in Women A Pictorial Archive From Nineteenth-Century Sources.

Red is the New Color of the XBox

2008-10-23T23:51:00.000-07:00

Here's a quick sad sketch I did. :_( Now my "Call of Duty 4" playing must be put on hold until the newly Red-Ringed Box gets repaired.

A New Castlevania Game

2008-10-22T08:14:00.000-07:00

In honor of the new Castlevania Order of Ecclesia DS game that just arrived on U.S. shelves yesterday, I whipped up this sketch of Alucard from one of my favorite videogames of all time, Castlevania Symphony of the Night. This one is based off a finalized art piece done by one of the series' main concept artists Ayami Kojima. I love her work! :)

Castlevania Dungeon is a great source for everything Castelvania related! :)

Caricatures

2008-07-15T23:15:00.001-07:00

This was my first serious attempt at doing caricatures of people outside of my immediate family. At first I was really hesitant, but then it actually became pretty fun! :) Hopefully they liked it. :P

Military Bag

2008-03-31T23:01:00.000-07:00

Ahhh, and so I'm back after a crunch mode at work. ^_^

I got the urge to build this military-type bag in 3D, and stick my little "Puffs" character emblem on it.

The Last Black Petal

2008-02-26T23:54:00.000-08:00

Another quick little guy. :)

I'm not really a huge fan of flowers, however to me black roses are very pretty and they don't appear to be bad signs or unlucky in any way. ^_^

Quick Sketch

2008-02-10T10:24:00.000-08:00

The other day this Mummy Doode decided to show up.

All weekend long I've been delving into environment sketches.

My coworkers showed me this restaurant and it's one of my favorite places to hangout! It has one of the most artsy-est and attractive interiors I know. ^_^

Lastly, yesterday was a sketch session at the mall. :) The Customer Service ladies looked a little bored, so I wondered if their surroundings could be a little more interesting.

Fish Umbrella!

2008-02-04T00:04:00.000-08:00

Finding inspiration in the people around you is always fun! A group of us went drawing on Friday night at a boba shop in the Sawtelle District. The lady behind the counter was yelling out drinks to customers and said something sounding like "Fish Umbrella!" I'm not sure why but this picture reminds me of one of my favorite people in the world-my mom! ^_^

Cheeks and Brim

2008-01-31T08:12:00.001-08:00

Here were some warm-up sketches I did, followed by a painting called "Cheeks and Brim". It was inspired by Cirque du Soleil's "Corteo" CD cover. That was an awesome show and I recommend seeing it! :)

Let the Delineations Begin

2008-01-30T22:30:00.000-08:00

Today marks the beginning of something big for me--I'm entering the realm of my own personal blog! So thank you very much for coming and visiting! ^_^
