daily is dead

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

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;

NO SKETCHING

--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. :>

Kids at the pool

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!

My internets died again

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.

Quick--

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!"

Classy!

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
