Model Drawing - Animals - Family Pets

 Another week drawing at the Studio - this time our theme was Studio Pets! My little Appa made a few appearances! ^_^

Model Drawing - Animals

 Our studio decided to do weekly model drawing sessions via Zoom! We use an app that shows you images for set times. We do figure drawing, but also animals. I really like how some of these came out! ^_^

Pinups - Kiss the Cook in Heels

 Another fun pinup project! This time it was a commission for Alysia - a Chef. Her business is called "Kiss the Cook in Heels". I got to design this pinup and logo for her business. Check her out on Instagram: Kiss the Cook in Heels IG

                      

Pinups - Mini Melon - Giant Watermelon

 My favorite returning client, Vanna Melon, commissioned this lovely pinup for her wall at home! I had a great time working with her again, and I love how it came out! ^_^ Cheeky!

Jasper J. Pumpkinhead - First Scene

I'm super proud to be working on a classical 2d Animated side project - a short about a scarecrow called Jasper J. Pumpkinhead! The director of the short, and creator of the character, is the amazing Brian Kesinger. If you don't know his work, please check out his instagram!

Here is a pencil test of the first scene where I animated Jasper. I got to know the character a lot better later on, but I still love this first scene!

Everything is animated on paper, with pencil, by hand! Old school!

And here are some of my favorite drawings from the scene!

OCAD talk - Delaware

I got invited, last October, to conduct 1930s character design workshop, at OCAD in Delaware. I completely forgot to post some art and pictures from the event! As per usual, I drew some themed little 30s characters. Here is the American collection! Also, a few pictures with the wonderful OCAD students who participated!

Appa - Sketching my Puppy

It's been forever since I made a new blog post. But today I decided to sketch my adorable sleeping puppy - Appa, the Westie. He just turned one year old (his birthday is February 23rd!), and it's been an amazing first year with him as part of our little family! Here is the nugget sleeping, charcoal and chalk on tinted paper.

And here are some pictures of him growing up during his first year... just because he's so cute! ^_^
