Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

I am in love with Devotchka's version of Venus in Furs. It makes me think of some kind of villainous and sultry lady, so I drew this as a break from some of the real projects I have goin' on now.

Happy New Year!

This is how I spent my first day in 2010... haha

Update: I got a bunch of sketchbooks for Christmas, so all you WashU kids should look out:

That creeper drawing you may be me... haha, once someone on a bus got mad at me for sketching them.

Mele Kalikimaka!

I've been interested in exploring shape stuff lately, so here's a Hawaiian lady wearing a dress I saw online and want very, very badly. I got a lot of inspiration from looking at Pascal Campion, Britney Lee, and Kevin Dart. I have "Christmas Island" stuck in my head right now...

EDIT: this song is fitting, I think :)

Oh and a self-portrait. I tried to do my best Stallone face... haha

I hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Spread good cheer. :)

Happy Holidays!

My best friends got all dressed up to wish you a wonderful holiday season! Stay safe and warm, everyone!

Verbs

I had an assignment to draw a pile of verbs. I used ink and brush, and I looked at a lot of Rea Irvin and Ronald Searle for inspiration.

Here are some of my favorites of the bunch!

Christmas break is finally here, and I'm home and cozy next to the tree. It's great to see my family again. :)

The Three Sisters

I used graphite and digital paint in PS. The trees are mostly graphite with digital washes and the sisters are mostly digital paint with just a bit of graphite underneath. It was fun balancing everything out and learning when to hold back and when to push forward.

Airport sketch

Drew this while waiting for the flight to CTN-X - it was an amazing trip! I definitely wanna go again next year.
