I have just met you and I love you

I've been sketching a lot recently in an attempt to finish off my entire sketchbook before the semester ends on friday (almost there!).  Here's a couple of my favorite pages :)

guess who was watching Up this week :)

I have been especially inspired by all the vintage travel posters Pixar has released as promotional material.  I have a few printed out and hanging up in my room and would love to try out something similar to this style when I get a chance.

 

 

saluki dogs and some horses from reference.  I love the saluki's slender frame and long ears; I think they are the medieval princesses of the dog world.

Some concept stuff for an illustration I ended up not using, although I'd like to revisit the idea when I have the time. Recently I've really gotten excited about illustrating childrens' books as a possible career option, so I've been researching a lot of fables and folktales.  This one was the Musicians of Bremen, a story about a donkey, dog, cat, and rooster who stand on each other's backs and use their voices to make music together.

Went to FEWS last friday to practice my gestures and was pretty happy with most of the results :) The poses range from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. I love doing these so much more than the extended poses we do in class; I really need to work on developing more patience I guess.

Thumbnails from my sketchbook.  We are doing a phobia piece; I chose fear of vegetables!

I am taking figure II this semester and it is probably my favorite class.  I have already finished one newsprint pad, but these are the only two extended poses I took photos of so far.

Thanks for looking :)
