New work

Newest work - Been trying really hard to get some personal work together before applications are due - I'm trying to get a concept artist internship at a video game company somewhere.

This was an old one actually, I just reworked it a bit so it doesn't look as amateur.  Listening to Cohen's Masterpiece and dreaming of that other place down below.

I wanted more character designs to show to potential employers - been so busy with school it's been really tough squeezing in projects like these, luckily this semester is a little lighter than last.  Too bad apps are due soon.  This was a full body version of the drawing of a mask I did last semester.

For Illustration class.  We had to do some sort of magazine page that would include fruits/veggies.  I tried to advertise how tasty fruit dessert is.

more '09 sketches

These are from the zoo!

These are from starbucks in kerrisdale, vancouver.  People waiting in line for their coffee.  Images are slightly distorted because the sketchbook wasnt flat when I took the pictures.

sketches 08/09

Most of these are finished pencil drawings really, because I can't find last years sketchbook either.  But here's work from last year.

looking back

I was trying to find my 07-08 sketchbook, and I realised it was gone when I failed to pickup my portfolio after acceptance into the VCD program.  Also made me realise i don't sketch enough, I think I only had one sketchbook for that whole year.  Though by digging I found some sketches from back in the day when I drew the people with big eyes.  Can't post a lot of them because some of them are just so terrible to look at now I feel like burning the files.  You have to come to terms with what you've done though so I've kept all the files to look back and wince at every now and then.

Especially the coloured ones.  Some of them make me want to puke. 

However, that being said I miss some of the detail I put into those old sketches, it seems to me like my sketching is a lot more confined and tight than it used to be.   Gotta let loose and have some fun with detailing again.  I think it has to do with growing up perhaps, it almost feels harder to tap into my creativity pool as directly as I used to.  Maybe it's because there's so much more to worry and think about these days.

 
Oh and I also can't remember when I drew these, but the newest one is at least 2 years old i believe.
