A belated birthday gift


My dear, I hope I did your face justice!

This is my friend, who did some wonderful cosplays. You can find her here. I used one of her cosplay pictures of Zhang He, from Dynasty Warriors (game) as reference! Happy Belated Birthday, and I'm sorry the present took so long!

Yayyyyy new class

(2-minute poses, charcoal)

Signed up for a new figure drawing class started. "Anatomy & the figure." The instructor was a lot more structured, which is something I appreciate a lot. I felt like I learned a lot just from one session! Now they're 3 hr sessions, and I really regret not being able to attend them all. Uni's ending the first week of May, which means I will only be able to attend 4 sessions out of the 8. Ah well, I'm just glad I am able to attend that many in the first place!

He also insisted that we work only with charcoal, so I was finally forced to put my pencils down and pick up those messing things!

This week, the focus was on the pelvis (we drew from a skeleton) and really quick sketches of the form with a focus on how to make lines. (Also, male model, finally, yay! I noticed that he had really defined veins and muscles... so awesome to draw!)

And finally, since I haven't uploaded in so long:

(And an old water-based oil on canvas painting I did back in 2007)

I actually submitted this to my Uni's art festival in 2010 and it got chosen to be placed on the brochures, posters, and flags all over the campus! I was so excited, haha!
