My friend Matt asked me to draw his character Maia, and thus I did!

This is his drawing:

daily is dead

2008-08-25T22:55:00.004-04:00

Uuuhm.. William's been working on Para-Ten as well as other short comics and I had lost my tablet pen. :| I wanted to get come illustration done digitally BUT I GUESS THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NOW FOR AWHILE. Or at least until I gain access to the computer labs at AIB. Which won't be until september. Which... is another thing haha. William had packed up and moved and I'll be doing the same in a week. I've been rushing to get my new ID and cellphone in on time as well as packing up.
Some good news is that I've learned how to do animation in flash! So expect some posts with animation done both digitally and in pencil during the school year. I figure since we don't have time for daily posts anymore we'd post things we'll be working on during the school year (it will be interesting, trust me :>). And maybe a weekly illustration instead of daily. Also! I've started working on a comic with a friend, and William and I have been planning on working on an animation project together.

ps. I went on vacation last week--
Never go to the beach at night if you're alone. It's kind of overwhelmingly creepy. D:

Make-up

2008-08-08T23:56:00.005-04:00

I chose the theme "Make-up", and William and I both ended up doing a humorous illustration for it. William's is so funny that it makes me glad I chose tonight's theme, hahaha. Makeup is applied on her face by a friend and it's her furst tyme, so she's all anxious. Hahaha. Reminds you of Earthbound's sexy laydeez, yeah?
I really like the color composition and how the oranges on it balanced out in William's. he's been trying to add warmer colors to his paintings since he feels his colors are too desaturated. Hmhm, also he used photoshop on this sketch. Can you tell the difference? :D I think it looks neat. I really like flat brushes.
Mine was finished because I was feeling cruddy about a majority of my other drawings. D: I hadn't done anything really satisfying in a long time.. so I worked this one to a more finished point, and I'm glad I did. Also I started playing with effects on photoshop and I really like that warm feel. I did a old summery photograph-type painting in my deviant art.. it's ok.. but I want to redo another one and this time with William's characters from Para-Ten in it. Hahaha. So it's fanart and experimentation, two in one. Yeah!
William picked out the colors on the shirt and hat of my drawing. It's so cute. :>

Also today we realized that the colors we pick out for our drawings are opposites (warm vs. cool). I think it's funny how it's always like that in the most trivial manner. Haha.

PS. I HATE PICKLE JARS ;A;

-Yan yu

I also spew but to a lesser extent.

2008-08-05T20:33:00.003-04:00

The second image is a character from Skullgirls

That's all?

My comic work has been taking the desire to do illustrations out of me. Ha ha.

-William

I spew.

2008-08-05T19:39:00.007-04:00

I really need to draw more men. q.q;

Also I created a deviant art account! Although there's nothing there that hasn't appeared on the sketch yet. D: There will.. someday..

.. !!

Anyways it's here: http://yanyu.deviantart.com/

YAY.

COMPUTER IS BEING A POOP.

Instruments

2008-07-22T00:59:00.003-04:00

Today's theme was chosen by Yan Yu on account of my accordion coming today! I've been wanting one for a while so I'm glad I finally got one. It's kind of difficult but I'm catching on pretty quickly since I can already play piano and I know lots of music theory.

Anyways, Yan Yu made a jazz trio. I think it's pretty cool, she got tired of it by the end though.

I drew... a city. Because I need practice with that sort of thing and I was in the mood tonight. It would have been a perfect theme to do a character but I decided not to tonight. Ha ha. There is an instrument though... if you look closely. Ha ha.

-William

Petting

2008-07-19T23:28:00.005-04:00

Children petting their pets. Or other people's pets. Haha. William chose this theme because he petted a kitty today~

My mom thought that William's drawing was me since I have similar clothes.
Also, I really like suspenders. :>
And I hate how I drew his head. It doesn't look right.

-Yan yu

Town

2008-07-18T00:09:00.003-04:00

Tonights theme was town! I have been drawing a lot so I was too tired to do a real town. =/ They are complicated so I just made ant town... ha ha. With my character Shirona there. It's kind of a cop out but I like it anyways!

Yan Yu made a wonderful painting of us jumping down a hill in a Spanish town. It's from a dream she had! I'm enjoying the textures she's been using lately.

That's all!

NO SKETCHING

2008-07-15T22:11:00.004-04:00

--BUT YOU KNOW, I CHEATED!

Originally my drawing was pencil, but then I wasn't thinking and felt like going over it with ink, until during about halfway through I remembered that I wasn't supposed to do that. Oops? Also there's even some sketching in pencil. It turns out I just drew the way I normally do, hahaha.

William made some awesome ink drawings with his brush: a thumbnail of a girl in some scenery, William playing an accordian, me, a girl playing piano/yelling at old people, etcccccccc. He says he wants to do a short comic in this style sometime.

That's it for tonight. :>

-Yan yu

Happiness!

2008-07-15T00:30:00.003-04:00

Yeah! Happiness!

...we need to start updating again. Ha ha.

Pico

2008-07-10T23:27:00.008-04:00

Pico, my dear rabbit, died today at 5:30 PM. Some boy up the street thought it would be funny to let his dog loose and chase him. =/ This wasn't the first time, I warned him that Pico might die if he does that, and now he finally has. I'm sad he had to go this way, I'll miss every part of him..

Pico used to love tucking his head under my arm or dress, then give me banana-lipped kisses. Since he loves bananas so much. Haha. I'll always remember that. He's such a beautiful and well-behaved rabbit.

Edit; My friend (and future roommate) Mando drew Pico as well! He's never got the chance to meet him, I was going to bring him to Boston with me in my dorm but that's not going to happen. Anyways he loves Pico from the stories I tell of him and feels terrible that he's gone now. I appreciate the art. <3

Edit 2: I (William) drew a picture of Pico too. I loved how he hopped, so I drew that.

Edit 3; My friend Ria drew Pico and I. I always did like kissing him with my nose, haha. She's also my roommate for the following semester. Thanks Ria~ <3>

Kids at the pool

2008-07-07T23:49:00.003-04:00

I went to Davis' Farmland today since my little brother wanted to go. I drew some kids at the water playground.

1. A toddler with high pigtails. She cries a lot.
2. This girl was waiting for the bucket on the top of a tower to fill up and spill over. The way she waited anxiously for it made me chuckle.
3. An enthusiastic but chubby toddler. He runs funny.
4. A cute little girl with diapers and a bucket hat.
5. Back view of bucket hat girl.
6. This kid had really square hair. It was weird.
7. Back view of girl with ponytail. I liked her ribbon.
8. Big cheeks!
9. She sat like this for the LONGEST time. I ate a snack, drew her and finished, and she was still in that position.
10. Shy girl with short flowy blonde hair.
11. A dark skinned kid, and his
12. dark skinned sister.
13. This boy was really evil looking for some reason. I'm pretty sure I've got his face right.
14. His asian best friend!

-Yan yu

Ready for school!

2008-07-07T23:33:00.003-04:00

Yeah! I'm excited for the next semester in school, even though it's still two months away. Yan Yu and I are both anxious to get back and do some animation! I'm really looking forward to increasing my knowledge of animation, learning to colour them and all that.

Speaking of Yan Yu, I don't know where she is! It's 11:36PM now and she hasn't been online. =/ I'm sure she has a good reason but we're supposed to get together tomorrow and we needed to consolidate our plans! Ha ha. Oh well, hopefully I'll get a hold of her before it is too late....

Oh yeah! I got some bristol board today. I was all out so that was bad. In celebration I penciled two pages of Para-Ten, inked one, and started inking the next! I want to start workign harder and maybe get two pages done a week and even do some more side comics... on the side.

I also got a new brush, which is nice because my other brush worked but the hairs were bent at an awkward angle from sticking it un-carefully in my back pack. =/ It cost almost 15 dollars! But it's worth it since it's really the only brush I need and it can get really fine lines or really thick ones. Hopefully the price means it will last for a while. If anyone was curious it's a Windsor and Newton brand round sable brush, size 2.

Let's see if I can keep working hard! My heart is shining!

-William

Mountains

2008-07-07T12:46:00.008-04:00

William chose to do mountains because he was in the mood to do backgrounds. It's Paveline but with longer hair! She's sitting on a hill or something, looking at mountains I think. I think he did very well, it looks so finished and I really love the tree.
I just drew mountains more as a subject rather than a setting. It's a place I made up? I was going to put a boy riding some animal in the sky with his back facing us, but there wasn't enough time. So I just left a title. Maybe I'll do it some other time and post in the near future. Also I think this is my biggest drawing of all the ones in this blog. Uh, that's all I guess. :O

-Yan yu

Work in progress?

2008-07-05T23:03:00.003-04:00

Technically it's just a sketch, but I already started painting it. I just didn't want to show a half done painting. I'll finish it tomorrow and post that.

Tomorrow Yan Yu and I will finally be doing a real theme. Ha ha.

That's all!

-William

Logooos

2008-07-05T00:50:00.003-04:00

My friends mom got me a few freelance jobs doing some designs, of which this is one. These are some logo ideas for the header of an online magazine called "Mused". I'll get a link tomorrow when I'm not sleepy.

I don't know which one they'll choose or if they'll choose one but it was fun anyways! The word logo itself is kind of hard to read. I should have put an outline around it.

Yan Yu is in New York until Saturday, but hopefully by Sunday or Monday we'll be doing our normal posting thing.

Have a great day or night!

-William

More doodles/sketches

2008-07-03T22:55:00.005-04:00

I have access to a scanner again! Woo!

So originally I was only going to post the sketch of the robot, but then I just started doodling later in the day. I ended up drawing Yan Yu... again. I liked the sketch, particularly of the head, so I decided to scan that and colour that too.

Then when they were next to each other it didn't look right with just the sketch of the robot, so I scribbled in some colour.

Anyways, the reason we haven't been topic posting together is because Yan Yu hasn't had very good internet connection, so we haven't been able to discuss topics. But at least we're posting! Ha ha.

Hope you enjoy,

William

Ghoooosts

2008-07-02T22:02:00.004-04:00

I started a bunch of things today and nothing was really coming out right. I blame lack of motivation. Plus I just want to draw in pencil but I need my scanner for that! Ha ha. Ah well. It's something!

Yan Yu and I have been posting separately but... we'll get back on top eventually probably!

-William

My internets died again

2008-07-02T21:14:00.005-04:00

Lulz. Couldn't resist adding a frame.

Nothing to say today, really. Except that I didn't do more than one sketch. Uhh Internet is back up tonight but now I'm just too lazy to start the next one, considering that it's night time already. The character drawn originally had just William's hair and glasses, but now I guess it might as well just be him. HAR HAR. Original is here.

-Yan yu

SNAAAAKEE!

2008-07-02T00:00:00.004-04:00

Pasjdsakhzrogglefroggle, internet is back up--but by the time it was, it was already too late to go onto the computer in the other room to scan and then send to my email, then paint. Oh well. I was playing with gouache again today but I didn't like how some of the things had come out. Ehh. Anyways I had intended to post up at least 3 sketches today but that... failed. At least I did one~ D: Tomorrow I'll try to do at least 2. Though I'm not sure how that'll come out, considering that I have to babysit.

-Yan yu

Hat

2008-07-01T21:39:00.006-04:00

Not much of a post tonight. I was kind of lazy and Yan Yu's internet was being wonky again! So she hasn't been able to get up ons.

Not only that but I was really lazy with mine. Took maybe 20 minutes, ha ha. I'm in New Hampshire right now for vacationing and for some reason it makes me not feel like working. Ha ha.

-William

Lazy!

2008-06-30T22:44:00.003-04:00

Lazy! That's what Yan Yu is, missing three nights in a row. Oh well.

I was feeling lazy today and I thought "I'll do that as a topic." Though by the time I started this I wasn't lazy anymore, so that's good.

I was watching Noein today and I was studying the composition. You have to be so clever with your composition when you're doing wide screen format. I noticed that a lot of the compositions made good use of foreshortening and perspective.

Anyways that's all. If we're lucky Yan Yu will have two for us tomorrow.

-William

Floating

2008-06-28T00:22:00.003-04:00

Floating! I enjoyed this one. I actually drew mine and then thought of the theme. Ha ha.

Mine is just Yan Yu and I, in some kind of fantasy outfits for some reason. Because I thought it'd be cool! Ha ha.

Yan Yu's features her mom looking for her to do work, while Yan Yu floats around in la-la land.

Not much else to say! Yan Yu is coming over tomorrow and we're going to a friend's birthday party so that's cool!

Fwooooo~

-William

Wallop--!!

2008-06-27T00:26:00.002-04:00

Mike suggested to do "wallop". William's was quick, about 20-30 minutes. He says that's what he'd like to do to me because I have bad AIM habits. ;(
I don't know how long mine took, but I was watching a george carlin marathon (poor guy.. he had a heart failure) while drawing. Thus William wanting to wallop me in the head because I had ignored him for about two hours. Haha.

-Yan Yu

More sketches

2008-06-26T00:53:00.006-04:00

We wanted a break from themes and decided to post some sketches that have been going on in our heads. Tomorrow we may do something digital again. William did some more concept design for upcoming Para-Ten chapters.. the type of stuff I should be working on because I pay so much attention to just faces without context. D: zxnmbzxn!
I've noticed that I've been using bigger and bigger noses with each passing drawing, because I've realized that no matter how ugly you make it, nobody will notice because all the attention is on the eyes, lips and hair. Hah! So it's fun being able to play with nose shapes. William's been doing the same thing as well. Go experimenting! I added a lot of drawings in one post to make up for the entries I've missed. D'aw.

Some useless facts:
1. Bottom right is based on William (hair, glasses)
2. Bottom left looks like what William would draw
3. A friend, Mike, mentioned that I look like the top right. Another friend, Mando, agrees.. saying that the lips look like mine. I think they do, I'm not sure. He said people tend to draw features of themselves into their drawings. I agree because William's drawings are point and sharp JUST LIKE HIM.
4. Top left actually looks more like William, because of the chipper expression. Harhar.
---
On an irrelevant note, I really hate my name. Jessica. What does the name Jessica remind you of--Jessica Simpson? Porn stars? Or just about every other girl since it's such a common name? Either way, I don't like the way it sounds. For some reason nobody has ever used my chinese name; not even my family. And a couple of people have told me that they wished my name was chinese--which I do have! But is never used. So I'm going to try and enforce it. It'll be hilariously ironic because everyone will call me by it except for my azn family. So yeah, starting from today I'm no longer Jessica on this blog. I'm Yan Yu. Got it? get it? good!

-Yan Yu

Concept

2008-06-25T00:14:00.003-04:00

Jessica was gonna post too but her connection was lost for a while and also her scanner wasn't working anyways.

So here we have a character concept sketch I did for a future Para-Ten chapter. I like how it came out, and it's different from the stuff I've been drawing the past... months. Ha ha.

I really haven't done a good male character design in a long time, and for some reason I often limit myself to clothes that fit the character, so it's good to variate. Not only that but it's a nice pencil drawing which I used to do all the time and don't do nearly enough any more. Years ago I was almost exclusively pencil, ha ha.

I think one of the reasons I more easily got away from my usual stuff is that I know that in the chapter, Paveline is gonna be there. She will satiate my need to draw a pretty girl type character so it leaves me open to all other sorts of people. It's a lot of fun to draw more "geometric" characters like this guy here and his coat. Ha ha.

Have a great day or night everyone!

-William

Moon

2008-06-22T23:58:00.004-04:00

Tonights theme was "moon" just because... it came to me. Ha ha. Originally I thought of doing "folk tale" but that's kind of complicated. It takes Jessica long enough to think of an idea with these simple topics, it'd probably take her eight hours! Ha ha.

We both did really similar compositions. I don't have much else to say about them though. Tomorrow I go back home from Jessica's house, boo hoo!

That's all

-William

THE SOUTH

2008-06-22T00:00:00.004-04:00

William and I were discussing about hill billies, banjoes, fried chicken and watermelon today--which, coincidently, was what we had for dinner the following night.. rsrsrsrs. Anyways, that led to the south being our theme. Except right when I was halfway done with mine my computer crashed again. I think I'll cry about it in my blog tonight! :

;( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1TEAR.

lulz neways srsly, I think this means I need to start saving more often. Or somebody will die!

William drew me as a hill billy because we were talking about how it would be funny if he played his banjo in his straw hat, and that I'd be standing next to him with broken teeth and disheveled hair. I find it hilarious... also that outfit was pretty much what I wore today.
Perhaps we'll dress up like that and sit on a porch someday. Just for giggles, you know.

No offense to any southerners that see this, really. DURR HUR!

-Jessica

Steam punk.

2008-06-20T22:46:00.003-04:00

We decided to do the them "steam punk" because Jessica and I were designing steam punk robots for a story our friend Mike is working on with Jessica. I had an idea related to it but Jessica didn't really. I said, 'Ok... the theme is 'new dress'?" So it kind of was? But Jessica just redesigned the girl she drew yesterday. Which is fine too!

I drew one of the robots I came up with being dressed up... in a dress. Ha ha. That's all I suppose.

Peas!

William

Quick--

2008-06-19T22:47:00.003-04:00

We were out in Marlborough all day today and got home pretty late, exhausted. William suggested to do some color roughs and experiment with it--we had almost done the same character we had in mind.
William would've gone further with his but he liked the look of it being rough. I took a little longer (as expected, but not meaning to) mostly because I wanted to continue experimenting. Setting the color layer as "addition" makes a pretty cool effect. O:
Anyways, that's it for the night. PS I find the blog title posts kind of amusing, haha: "Quick--Escape frustrated YELLOW smell!"

-Jessica

Escape!

2008-06-18T21:38:00.004-04:00

Tonight's theme was "escape". Jessica drew a runaway merchant person who's escaping her original city for a more prosperous place.

Mine involves two people who were fighting, and the guy was losing so his friend flies in and saves him? Escape!

I like them both but I kind of got lazy on mine due to not sleeping enough lately. Ha ha.

Anyways, that's all! Good night friends.

-William

Frustrated.

2008-06-17T23:33:00.003-04:00

Clouds from Sam Miller on Vimeo

William and I were working on some sweet backgrounds when both of our computers had crashed--first his, and then mine. It's so strange. There's not really much else to say. Both of us have lost our motivation for the night; sorry for the disappointment.

Instead, here's an animation both of us really like. Enjoy it!

-Jessica

YELLOW

2008-06-16T20:43:00.006-04:00

Tonight's theme was white when we started.

So I'm at Jessica's house now! For the week. And uhh... yeah! We'll still be updating though. Not much else to say.

Peas!

William.

Edit; The girl looked like a d00d in mine, so I changed it a bit. ;D! That is all. -Jessica.

Smell

2008-06-16T01:10:00.004-04:00

So tonights theme was smell.

They both involve me... smelling... because I don't really care that much about my hygiene. I typically care enough that I don't get marked as "the smelly guy" but it's well known that I don't shower every day and I wear lots of clothes with holes in them. So that's that. Ha ha

Mine is just me sitting there happily while Jessica scolds me and Jessica apparently made a deodorant ad? The frolicking part is because I enjoy frolicking through nature.
Jessica's is awesome, let me just say. I probably would have done a better job but I really didn't think about it and I didn't think Jessica was gonna post tonight, ha ha.

Anyways, smell you later!

William

PS MGS 4 is amazing! At least I thought so. But don't play it if you don't like stories.

Sketches

2008-06-14T23:18:00.006-04:00

PEOPLE sketches. Because I'm not good at it and need to play with faces more. );
Also some dresses; a variation of Lapin's and a new (although strange) frock that I will probably alter later in the future.

-Jessica

Classy!

2008-06-13T23:19:00.006-04:00

Bwaugh, William is at a friend's house for today and saturday. You know what that means? I get to party... alone! Haha, noo, I kid. There won't be a theme for today or saturday, not really at least.
Anyways, a friend had suggested for me to draw someone from the 60s--a classy person. Now I 'm not really sure if I hit the look on the spot... but WHATEVS. Because at the end I just wanted to give her a dali moustache and pointy beard anyways. You can find the original here. The colors were so dark that it kind of made me fall asleep while coloring. No lie.

Happy friday the 13th! ;D

- Jessica

AMERICA

2008-06-13T00:08:00.005-04:00

Lately I've been a little grumpy toward's America and the majority of its people--from youtoube comments and hipsters to the apathetic attitude towards global warming. Everyday I find things to make fun of: some weeks ago, William and I had gone food shopping and I had seen a hamburger balloon in the market nearby the barbeque sale section. Now not only did this make me laugh, that hamburger balloons actually exist, but only in America would you find that. I couldn't stop laughing so hard, my face turned red when I tried to tell William. The guy in front of us couldn't help but chuckle as well. He knows it's true. Oh, he knows.
We were watching the Colbert Report today and decided to have America as the theme. Except William stole my joke/idea! It's making me miserable because mine looks like poop compared to his, since I didn't have enough time to do something pretty. Oh well, I don't care. *visible irritation* Haha.
By the way, Shangrilove and us have decided to do a giant group theme! It's pretty sweet. If you're hungry for more American satire, go check out their sketch blog at Shangrilove. No pun intended.

- Jessica

Biking!

2008-06-11T22:06:00.006-04:00

Sorry guys! Not a real update tonight. Jessica and would both like to go to bed a little earlier tonight than we have been. We were also out all day biking so that we could meet up! It was great to see Jessica but very tiring! Plus I didn't get back until about 8:30 and probably the same for Jessica. We both have to ride about an hour.

Also that picture of me is my stern face... like the dog... because Jessica thinks it's funny. And so do I! Done in the style of Hi & Lois? Ha ha.

We're planning on biking again tomorrow but I'm sure we'll be able to update.

See ya!

-William

Harrumph

2008-06-11T01:10:00.006-04:00

So tonights topic was "harrumph". I thought it would be neat to make a topic based on a sound effect, but I actually had trouble thinking of an idea. I think I could have done something better, but Jessica liked it at least!

Jessica drew me as a dog making a stern expression. We were talking about expressions earlier today and mentioned that she thought my stern face was funny, so that's probably why she drew that. She was also talking about practicing drawing animals, since Pixar looks for that in your portfolio. So there you have it!

-William

Books

2008-06-10T01:26:00.005-04:00

Gewd evenin'. We decided to have books as our theme this time. We had plenty of ideas but weren't sure on how to execute it without taking too much time. William was going to have a kid sit high up in a tree on a plank he had built--but then it started to rain, wetting the book and leaving a shocked expression on the child's face OH NOEZ. Then he decided to just draw a girl floating up from a book. Both of us are really pleased at how the colors had come out. It's very pretty.
I decided to do a storybook page styled picture. I like the paper texture very much, and my idea had been built around it. I wanted to kind of spoof a children's book, and Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney, was so cute that I had wanted to base it on that one. This is how the story went:

Little Nutbrown Hare, who was going to bed, held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears. He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening.

"Guess how much I love you," he said.

"Oh, I don't think I could guess that," said Big Nutbrown Hare.

"This much," said Little Nutbrown Hare, stretching out his arms as wide as they could go.

Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms. "But I love YOU this much," he said.

Hmm, that is a lot, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.

"I love you as high as I can reach." said Little Nutbrown Hare.

"I love you as high as I can reach," said Big Nutbrown Hare.

That is quite high, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish I had arms like that.

Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea. He tumbled upside down and reached up the tree trunk with his feet.

"I love you all the way up to my toes!" he said.

"And I love you all the way up to your toes," said Big Nutbrown Hare, swinging him up over his head.

"I love you as high as I can HOP!" laughed Little Nutbrown Hare, bouncing up and down.

"But I love you as high as I can hop," smiled Big Nutbrown Hare - and he hopped so high that his ears touched the branches above.

That's good hopping, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish I could hop like that.

"I love you all the way down the lane as far as the river," cried Little Nutbrown Hare.

"I love you across the river and over the hills," said Big Nutbrown Hare.

That's very far, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. He was almost too sleepy to think any more. Then he looked beyond the thorn bushes, out into the big dark night. Nothing could be further than the sky.

"I love you right up to the MOON," he said, and closed his eyes.

"Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare. "That is very, very far."

Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves. He leaned over and kissed him good night.

Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to the moon - AND BACK."

Isn't it wonderful? Anyways, that's it for today. Tomorrow's theme will probably be a silly one.

Fan Art

2008-06-09T01:18:00.006-04:00

So tonight our theme was "fan art". This was mostly because I wanted to draw Tetra from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. So I did. Her hair is just so cool, I couldn't resist. Jessica decided to draw Hachi, from the manga/anime Nana, which she's been a fan of for a while. She said, "You know, I've never drawn anyone from that even though I usually draw characters I like." So she did? Ha ha.

That's all,

William

Characters!

2008-06-08T02:37:00.003-04:00

GOOD EVENIN'. Tonight--characters! Actually, William couldn't think of what to do this time, so I picked out tonight's theme again. Harharhar. Both of us like the topic though, so get off my back. :C
Anyways, William and I have some characters we had designed ourselves; we thought it would be fun to draw each other's since our styles are so different (his being thin and pointy, mine soft and round). I picked out Lapin for him, which is the purple girl in the hat. I had used her in an animation project of mine during the 2008 spring semester at AIB. She's from the mountains. :>
In return, I drew Paveline, who is a girl in William's comic book. If you want to check it out, go take a look at www.para-ten.com ! I've drawn her a couple times already but there's yet to be one with a full body shot of her.. I kind of cheated, drawing her as a child from earlier in the comic. The garments are much simpler, but eh. I think it's cute.

I suck at fast painting. ( ; ,,;) My figure drawing professor knows it, William knows it, I know it. ;(

Ocean.

2008-06-07T00:16:00.002-04:00

So tonights theme was "ocean", which Jessica chose. It proved to be a nice and refreshing theme to our drawings. These aren't quite as ridiculous as the others.

My initial ideas were all pretty morbid, all of them involving someone dying or sure to die. I've been listening to the Decemberists, and almost all their songs seem to have to do with the ocean, so I was drawing inspiration from that. However the stories in those songs aren't exactly happy usually, ha ha. The ideas involved people being tied up and shot off a cliff or thrown into the ocean. Mostly I didn't do them for time purposes, ha ha. These are just supposed to be sketches after all.

Hope you enjoy,

William

I don't really know why William wanted to draw some fr00tz, but whatevs. ;( Could be because back on campus in Boston during the school year, I'd often steal about seven or ten bananas at once from the student cafe to horde in my room.. 'cause you know, I LOOOOOVE bananas! D:<>;]

So this is our first post on our brand new sketch blog. It was born out of Jessica and I just wanting to do some quick sketch trades and we accidentally did the same theme each time. Then I suggested, "We should do this every night" and thus Forestillingsevne the Sketch Blog was born.

These first two we drew because we had been joking about how I liked to touch Jessica's butt and she liked to touch my "breasts". But it is a joke, is it?

The next two we drew because Jessica's face reminds me of a hamster and sometimes when I look at it I start laughing.

So there we go! Our first post. Should be a fun venture.
