30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 4

Day 4 - Best Friend(s)! 

I've got a few more... but I couldn't fit them all in. The taller one is Liz and the shorter one is Kayla (the height difference is true!). I've know both for more than 10 years now. :D We've taken a cooking class together during high school and they made it just more awesome. We were also in our high school's concert band together. I played the flute, Kayla played the saxophone and Liz played the trumpet. And I consider them as surrogate sisters. Liz is now married and still an avid Batman fan. Kayla's is the one that I go to cons with, she makes awesome lolita clothes and accessories!

Day 5 - Favourite Book

Till next time!

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 3

Day 3 - Favourite food!

Any one who has ever come with me to an all you can eat sushi restaurant can vouch for my love of Salmon. Just thinking about it makes me drool. I was thinking about colouring this picture, but cravings made stop. I love just drenching the salmon sashimi in soy sauce and eating some sushi rice separately. It's my happy place, I also do a happy dance after the first bite.  

 I have cravings now, I'll be back in a bit... gone to get some salmon sushi.  

Day 4 - Best Friend

Till next time!

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2

Day 2 - Favourite Animal

Tigers!!! I know some may not believe in the Chinese Zodiac, but I'm born under the year of the Tiger! I don't know if that has any pull in what I do or the way I lead my life but I like it none the less. I don't know why I decided to do a baby instead of a grown adult tiger, one reason could be that I don't feel like a complete adult just yet. And those of you who know all about the Chinese Zodiac more would be able to figure out how old I really am! Don't tell anyone please! :P 

Day 3: Favourite Food

Till next time!

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 1

I decide to complete a 30 day drawing challenge to:

1. Kill some time

2. Improve my skills

3. To see if I can actually do this 

I'll be posting each day to keep up with it each day. So with out further ado... Day 1: Me!

I did two versions of myself, but I think that they are both a caricature of my self not anything close to "natural". I do like both versions though. 

So if I do eventually get through this, I might do a pokemon related 30 day challenge. 

Day 2: Favourite Animal!

Tomorrow

Till next time!  

AnimeNorth Aftermath

I can't believe it's been one year since I started "Tangles". I honestly thought that I'd never get past AnimeNorth 2011. It's just on the strange side. I can't get past the craziness of it. 

So AnimeNorth 2012 was just completely awesome. I saw a few old friends, got a couple of new posters, picked up a manga and ate a really awesome burrito. Oh burrito, how you complete me. 

Well with out any further ramblings about food, here is our booth!

I was join by my friend Kayla (the one with the pink hair) and Carol (she isn't in the picture :( or she could be hiding). This picture was taken on Sunday, when we finally had a chance to breathe. The TCC was packed with people, I mean really really packed. I was expecting a lot less people on Saturday, but I guess people were there for sales. But all in all a good time was had by all.

I also had some of my art work at the Gallery Momiji at the convention. I was able to dig up an old picture that I posted on this blog earlier in the year and show some progress of the art. I wish I could have had a middle work in progress picture possibly just to show some progress. 

It sold at a live auction for about $35. Which isn't too bad, I was expecting it to go for much less. I think I will put a posting up on Etsy to sell prints, I've got a ton of them left over. 

 Another think I introduced at the con were Adventure Time Tangles! Last time I think I only had Jake and Princess Bubblegum. Then I added Marceline and Jake. They are now on Etsy as a set. :D 

I think the next con that I'm heading to is Atomic Lolipop, if they could just get back to me about a table. 

Well till next time!

oh man.. burrito cravings!!!  

What time is it?

ADVENTURE TIME!!!

That's right I've been working on Adventure Time Tangles I've got Princess Bubblegum done as well as Jake the Dog. Finn the Human is about half way done and the others are slowly getting painted. 

I have tones of stuff to do for the prep for Anime North, I need to finish way too many paintings although I did do some planning for the time and the frustrations that come with Anime North, I forgot something. 

I have another table set up for the Gallery Momiji at Anime North as well as a Dealers room table with my good friends Kayla, Carol, and Amy. Now at the table for Gallery Momiji, I will have paintings for auction . They are one of a kind paintings and they also include prints of the paintings. Unfortunately for me, I am a little behind on completing the paintings. I've only got one done. I'm planing to have nine for the table. I think I put way too much on my plate. But it's always been like this. Here's one that I'm working on.

It's a compilation of all the popular animes and the power house that is studio Ghibli. Unfortunately the people who buy the prints miss out on the awesomeness that are the sides of the painting. I want people to enjoy a painting from all sides. This painting is just going to be black and white no colour just cool designs. This painting size is at 10 inches by 5 inches and is a perfect size for portability. 

Some other fun news includes my Tangles; couple of my paintings are at Youtopia in Pacific Mall. Charlie the unicorn and Domo are set up for viewing! Go check them out if you have the time!

Sorry for the long hiatus. And I'm sick once again. 

 Till next time!

Counting Another Sick Day

First off, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it! :D Second, I'm sick, so I'll keep this pretty brief. I just want to show you guys what I completed for my first project back in February I believe. Some of you remember I drew this: 

That was in my sketchbook. I had to create a bigger version of it for my first project. I decided on a Dumbo theme like mentioned before. I made the clouds look like elephants, I exaggerated the ears and made them look more comical. The drawing is made up of two pages, and each page is about 22 inches by 30 inches. 

I decided to add myself into the picture to show my connection to Dumbo as per the project. The drawing was done with a brush pen and watercolour pencils. And I'm pretty happy with it. I will be putting this up somewhere in my room, just don't know where yet.  

Other than that, I'm sick again and I have my exams coming up and I feel like I should be studying more despite my illness, but I can't concentrate all that much. 

Till next time!
