Lovely Complex Finale

It took me nine months to finish this short anime only because I didn't want it to end but tonight it ended and this was/on some level is still me:

WHY MUST IT END?! ALL OF THE ADORABLENESS! BAWWWWWWW FOREVER! TT^TT

Why must you tug at my heart strings so, LoveCom?

Art is sophisticated

So this weekend we had to draw a contour study of major edges. Okay yeah. It's a self portrait. Again sure, self explanatory. Of us wearing a paper bag on our heads. Wait- what?

Needless to say the other art classes probably thought our drawing 2 class suspected the coming of Extraterrestrials and were woefully lacking in aluminum foil hats.

Why I'm doing illustration

Alright so here's the deal, mostly an epiphany for myself.

I figured out what I will do should I go into some sort of illustration field. I want to storyboard. Or concept art but I'd need a lot of color practice for that.

It's perfect for me. Things can be a little rough and expression, fluidity of movements seem to be key. It's also about developing a story, something I love to do. I love creating characters and my art style tends to verge on the overly simply and cartoonish.  Storyboarding would be the best thing I could do with an illustration interest. Now I have a goal, something to work toward.

both of these are from Disney's Tangled Concept art. I love this.

Oh, from that movie My Neighbor?

I had left over black paint for a 2-D project that I was working on so I decided to paint totoro with it. (Having recently acquired it from my sister for my birthday)

In art lesson Number 1:

WASTE NOTHING

Owls of Autumn

It's that time of year again, when summer slowly gives it's dying breaths over to the colors and crisp autumn. Let your home smell of cinnamon spice yankee candles and enjoy the leaves until it rains and you have to rake up that sloppy mess. Break out the light sweaters and boots with dresses (eeee! :D) and start baking your little heart out.

Or you know, you would do all those things if you lived anywhere else but Florida: Land of Two Seasons. Summer and Brief Winter. So low 90's in the weather forecast and the trees are palm trees. The only tell tale sign of fall here is what everyone else is talking about up north and the annual flood of Snow Birds to our beaches. Welcome to our beaches Ontario!
