The Holidays at Easton

Here is my drawings from the last trip at Easton. I really wanted to capture interaction between parent and child during the whole santa event the most and to keep my drawings kind of children's book style simplicity to reflect that look.

Final Ballet Met

I seemed to be in a funk this class because everything that I had drawn seemed not as dynamic as my last time at Ballet Met. I think I was over thinking it because I wanted to render out the dancers more and use lighting as a concept, but instead it made the figures more bulky and stiff again :P

Inclass drawing session - cartoon self and lighting

So I had a lot of fun drawing my own version of people- it's been a while since I've drawn myself and others in my own style (well, except for portrait painting of course :P). Sorry for the numerous images, but I really enjoyed this session and the drawings from it :] That lamp post looks like it's having fun leaning over there -_-'

The last Union visit :'o

Here's sketches from the last union visit for Cafe Sketch- I was really happy with the surprise hug ":D" drawing- such a fun pose to draw :]

Hands- Free Choice

I decided to focus on hands more so for this free choice because I have been overworking it with darker lines in class. I wanted to capture the feeling of motion through overlap and using hands in context of characters --- (some are more stylized to fit the character)

North Market

I really enjoy drawing the people at North Market because I feel that the individuality of the person shines through more in my drawings. It was beautiful weather too so I decided to draw some tennis players at Goodale park.

Birds Assignment

Some of these birds look a little - soul.. less.. but I tried my best :P I shaded on some of them to show the form of the bird better :o

Halloween at Easton

For Halloween there must've been the curse of the internet problems because my internet has been down since right now D': I had fun making people more caricatured at Easton today and placing them in environments :]
