mermaids... sorta

hey all,

ive been watching a lot of 'blue planet' and 'planet earth' lately and was totally inspired to do some mermaid styl pretatory fish.

the marlin, sail fish, shark and dolphins are just amazing. i cant believe how much i learn from watching those dvd's.. if you can get your hands on them for a weekend i highly suggest you make time to watch them all.. some of the stuff just blows your mind. :D

sketchin..

so here's a big chunk of sketches from my last sketchbook and the one i recently started..

i have a bad habit of waiting until I'm finished a sketchbook before i post anything.. ill try to stop doing that in the future :P

so most of these sketches are from mall cafe sketching during the Christmas holidays and whatnot..

i found it kinda of interesting that all of the girls aged 12-23 wore pretty much the exact same outfits... its the whole skinny jeans, ugg boots, puffy jacked, or hoodie look....

doesn't really make for a great variety in sketching.. but whatever.. its still fun :D

animal sketches..

hey all, its been a long time since ive posted.. sorry..

ive been in the process of moving for like... a month, and my computer had to be totally reformatted recently, so ive been without some programs and whatnot..

but heres a big sketch dump to make up for that :D

the orange cat is my boyfriends cat marmaduke, hes a very big and lazy boy, and strangely the only cat ive ever been allergic to..

the goats and lamas are from my trip to the royal agricultural winter fair in toronto.. that was in november.. so yea, that proves its been waaay too long since ive scanned or posted anything haha

stuff

starting a new sketchbook, so i thought id pick out some of the better doodles from my last one :D

MUNNY IS FINISHED!

i decided to do Harley Quinn .. big surprise right :P
i really couldn't resist, it came with the bunny ear hat and i just had to do it. i used a white primer and many MANY layers of acrylic paint. the white accents are model magic, its light, air drying and non toxic :D YAY

munny!

oouuu after looking on and off for a year, i have finally found my Munny!!
i haven't yet decided what to do with it.. I'm thinking hard, trying to narrow down my choices..
i got the 7' white Munny, and it came with a spatula, a banana, a television, and a bunny ear hat as props... i dunno how I'm going to integrate them but i will have updates as i begin my creative process, don't worry :D
I'm so excited lol

SCARLETT G.I Joe..

I recently saw some images for the new G.I Joe movie.... and um.. while Im not completely disappointed with the choices in casting, Im kinda upset with the costume design.
From what ive seen all of the characters are in black leather -x-men type jump suits... what the hell.
seriously, for some characters this works, such as the bad guys... but the good guys should totally have the old school costumes. well.. some of them at least.. we dont really need too much craziness...
so this is how i want to see scarlett... oldschool costume all the way :D
the bg is an image i found on the internet, just for fun :)

doodling.. ladies as usual :)

drawing drawing drawing... i just cant seem to draw enough women.. they're always fun, sexy and interesting to me.. all the curves and big eyes...
by the way.. the girl in the short shorts.. was actually wearing those.. in union station no less... i think they were underwear actually... :S

hands

ive been trying to get back to basics, testing myself to try and see what i have actually retained from school. i think we had to do something like 100 hands in first year life drawing... and i know mine were horrible.. but in my defense i have short little fingers.. so my references are flawed to begin with :P

octopus hair 2

ive been playing around more with this image, trying out some textures and what not, let me know what you think. :D
