Turtle and Rabbit

A new window painting opportunity in Tortuga Dorm.
Since it's near easter I decided to draw a turtle with a rabbit.
Here's the final version.

A busy week

In an odd change of pace, I didn't bring my computer with me over spring break. 
Here's what I managed to get done in that time:


 I saw my neighbor with a neat looking hat just before leaving and jotted that one down pretty fast. 
 Saw this girl at the next stop, but I didn't quite catch her posture in time

The bus ride up to livermore was a long one, so I had a lot more time to practice legs and feet again.
Also tried drawing anything else in view. It was  really long trip.




More Tall practice, although I ran out of paper for the feet... I have no Idea why I thought that shirt was a good idea.

You know what's hard to draw? semi curly long hair. I made it look to greasy in this, and it makes the girl look like  gnome... in sweatpants.... ok, It's still kinda cute.

So, not having much to do, I went to the mall and started people watching



Mostly tried focusing on posture, but I didn't get too much time to practice this.
Admittedly, I went to the mall looking for a laptop or tablet, but didn't end up getting one just yet. 


Decided then to put my practice to use and tried drawing magic 8 ball girl again, and also a rabbit.


So far this has been almost nothing but girls. 
Playing rhythm heaven most of the week didn't help things much either.



Getting better at drawing beards with mouths.
I look kinda bitter in this.

I need a lot more practice drawing stouter bodies. This is a start, though.
And this is a bunch of sketches I made of people at the movies.


And the last thing I drew was Holly

More practice

I fucking love the way this face turned out. I've been trying hard recently not to just let the cheeks be Negative space on the face, and I think I hit my mark. I captured the unique face of this girl without making her lines to definite.

I need more practice on this one, but I kind of like the costume design here. I might draw more of this.

Legs



I think the reason I don't draw tall girls that often is I usually suck at drawing legs.


The heels are a little uneven, But I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Memory fails me


I'm beginning to see how personal this cartoon is for me.
I forget people very easily. I'm impulsive, I'm social, and I don't get close to many people so I get along with everyone.
But when I do get close to someone, I still forget them easily. Danielle was my closest friend growing up, and when she moved it only took a few months to forget about her. It crushed me realizing that had happened.
I try hanging on to others. Tried as hard as hell to hold on to Delawyer, to Desserae, but they just get lost in a sea of knew faces every time. They disappear unless I cling to them; unless I hold on to them and never let go. But that just drives them away from me.

Steamboat Serena



I'm feeling a lot better, now. It's weird. It's like I've been in the protective bubble for the last few months.
And then the bubble starting closing in on me, and I panicked.
And then the bubble popped and everything was so painful.
But I couldn't stay in there forever.

...Ok, none of that had anything to do with this picture. MOVING ON!
DID YOU KNOW! Mickey Mouse will soon be public domain. I am both Excited and terrified at the consequences of this.

Guaranteed success

The animation class is going well. Admittedly it's become more of a time eater than I thought.

Luckily though my next assignment lines up pretty well with the last BBB project I was trying to work on.
So this should be a pretty good opportunity to finally get that done.

Here's some other quick sketches
