So I did this sort of storybook take on a book I really enjoyed, John Dies at the End for one of my classes. I'm actually kind of happy how it turned out, even if I did this instead of studying for finals.

2012-01-26T18:27:00.001-08:00

I sort of made a comic spontaneously the other week, which is. . . probably something I should do more often.

I've been drawing a lot from movies and tv lately. I need to bust out my sunglasses more so I don't feel so awkward staring intently at people.

More stuff

2011-10-22T09:50:00.000-07:00

Been trying to draw more, somewhat succeeded.

More stuff from the past month or so

2011-10-09T12:41:00.000-07:00

I always tell myself I should be working on things other than faces. . . but I don't. I really need to change that.

2011-08-29T22:22:00.000-07:00

I've decided to make it a goal of mine to really try and figure out brush pens and whatnot. This was part one of that.

Mother-Daughter comics, which is apparently an ongoing series.

I've included both versions of it, just cos I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, actually.

2011-07-13T14:56:00.000-07:00

Some more stuff. I am having a hard time being motivated, as always. Argh.

Recentish things

2011-06-09T20:34:00.000-07:00

I've been really noticing my lack of supplies lately, but it's just as well then that I've got the computer. Lots of inane doodling, basically.

More stuff (mostly from class)

2011-05-10T21:14:00.000-07:00

Tried a painting. Colors are confusing, man.

Attempted a self-portrait. I can never get it right. My nose is much larger.

A model came in and we did some portraits.

I definitely wish I had some crazy pastels, but I was happy with the results.

The above one was the last one I did, and my favorite.

I never finished this one.

Some warm ups and such. YEAH! We're doing more this Saturday, which I am definitely excited for.

2011-04-28T17:39:00.000-07:00

Some keys for my portfolio class. YEAH. I think I would have done some stuff differently, namely that yellow key.

For my World History Class, we had an assignment to so a propaganda poster and as usual I overkilled it. It was really fun though!

you guys I stink at titling things

2011-04-16T11:56:00.000-07:00

I've been drawing more. That's good. I was right about the free time thing. My portfolio class started too, so that's fun. I need to do more though argh.

For my World History class. I actually draw the most in that class, because we are doing World War II right now and all of those oppressive leaders are fun to draw.

I went to an event at my school, bascially a bunch of student-bands playing outside. It was really fun, and obviously I creepily drew everyone.

Also this guy was on stage for one of them and he had many awesome dance moves, so I did a quick animation of it (five frames! YEAH!) and scanned it in and stuff.

What I've been up to lately:

2011-04-10T10:07:00.000-07:00

Also known as: Zelly should really start working in color again, huh, where did I put those markers?

And a work-in-progress self portrait thing.

Now that Grease is over I should have free time again. Hooray! I have many projects I want to do. Hopefully they'll come to fruition.

2010-12-27T23:56:00.000-08:00

I now possess a scanner! Yay! I've actually been drawing a lot as well, so also yay!

Got some gouache and have been playing around with it. I dunno, man.
During Christmas dinner, what do I do? Stare at people. That's what. I'm a cool kid.

A parade. I got in my local newspaper. It was awesome.

2010-12-07T18:04:00.000-08:00

So life has been kind of busy for me lately. I have been sketching a lot but not enough, and I need to work on bringing my stuff with me more because there is a lot of dead time in my classes... There's just not a lot of room in my bag. I'll solve it one way or another. Too much of this is really boring :| argh.
I just want a job where I can creepily draw people's faces all day. . .

2010-10-24T15:40:00.000-07:00

I made a music video with my dad for his band! I'm posting this everywhere, but whatever man, I'm super proud of this. It took a lot of time. I helped with all the animation, and my dad is all the music. We edited it together.

YEAH

2010-10-21T20:30:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel like I creep too much. But I don't know.

Apple hill! One of my favorite places.

HANDS. Hands. Hands.
My mother is a wonderful model when she falls asleep on BART.

2010-10-09T18:01:00.000-07:00

Kind of been not drawing a whole lot lately. I found out that my school doesn't offer AP art (at all) and I really don't want to take Beginning Art, which is necessary to get into Advanced Art, so erghh. What up high school, what up.

I need to get back into the swing of things and do more projects and stuff. Errgh I'm a mess.

2010-10-01T20:39:00.001-07:00

Did this for an assignment in my World History class - we were supposed to create a visual metaphor for the foundations of democracy. It was supposed to be a poster but uh, my partner and I were a little ambitious. He did the words and narration, which is pretty awesome.

I've been missing CSSSA a lot lately, which I guess sort of spurred this on. I'm trying to incorporate more of the things I've learned, or have wanted to do into my school work, or to just have a lot of projects on at once to get myself motivated. I don't know. I made a comic as well, but didn't have time to scan it before I had to turn it in.

BUT HOW AWESOME WAS THAT DVD. So awesome. It made me all happy and smiley. Good times.

Schooooooool

2010-09-17T18:01:00.000-07:00

Schoooool started two weeks ago so I've basically been very busy. Now that I've settled in though I hope to draw a lot more.

. I had a lot of time to kill in sixth period today.

Creepin' on people in the lunch quad like yeah.

Auditions were this week. Lots of sitting, soooo.

These last two are people from my PE class, which is YOGA this year I'm so happy no more running yay.

2010-09-03T22:26:00.000-07:00

Got a new sketchbook. I should really color more things, but I keep forgetting my watercolors at my dad's house. Huh.

2010-08-29T23:02:00.000-07:00

I managed to doodle my little brother when he was playing at the park, in the two seconds he was keeping still.

I guess I've been drawing a lot of places lately. I don't know.

Went to orientation for sophomore year and drew all the administration, they basically replaced half of them so that's a little strange.
This flea market type thing I went to a while ago. I'm trying to get better at clutter.

2010-08-27T11:06:00.000-07:00

I went to this life drawing session at a local art studio and it was kind of ... weird. I dunno, it was all oil painters, which is cool, but I felt super out of place and impatient because I wanted the poses to be shorter. I didn't do anything I liked, but I guess practice it practice.. so yeah.

I've been working on a coloring book, though.

2010-08-18T21:15:00.000-07:00

Some random portrait type things? Most of these were from photographs, which is part of why they are funky in a not good way.

My mother, I made her sit still for seven minutes.

2010-08-15T21:38:00.000-07:00

This is the last of it I think. I finally took pictures of selected stuff.

Ummm, so I suppose I'm making this as a way to post a lot of the stuff (especially from csssa) because goodness knows I don't have enough internet presences already? But yeah. I'll post em in batches, along with other stuff, presumably.
