Claremont Plein air paintings

Spent yesterday with my professor Gary Geraths up in Claremont painting. Such a beautiful and peaceful place... We're practically next door neighbors, so we're already planing another painting trip!

Into the Illusion Forest...

From my thesis project! I'm doing visual development for a 3D animated film.

A story about a girl who wonders into a mysterious forest, only to have what she finds inside used to corrupt the people she loves.

Tigers, Lions, and llamas!

A couple weeks ago, I was invited to come and draw at the Wildlife Way Station! Used pen a bit of marker for most of these... This was my second time being there, and I hope to be able to go again in the future. Such an awesome and cool place!

Raining Concept

An interesting little assignment set in the future... It was pretty fun to design all the colors!

Theater Designs!

I was given a decade to research, and create any project I wanted around it. I was given the 1920's, so I decided to create some designs for a broadway play, but with an Egyptian theme to reflect the King Tut craze that went on during the time! A fun project since I love Egyptian history!

Designed some column, seats, people, and even the over all atmosphere!

And my sketches

Warm Up

A quick warm up painting. Been doing a lot of walking around this summer it seems...

Jewelry Lamps

Some Prop designs for my internship. Street lamps inspired by jewelry like earrings and even watches. Even made a tileable pattern to go with them.

Lunch Hour

Wanted to try and make something 'happy'. I think the biggest thing I miss the most about my high school are the uniforms...

More Plein Air Mess

Sure has been a busy summer! Still doing some plein air studies in between my internship work...

On Location Life Paintings and Drawings

In between interning as environment designer for Tofu Girls this summer, been doing more personal work! Enjoy!

Chocolate House

A little update to the children's book I made a while back. Tried to make it more whimsical and colorful! Enjoy!

My First Big Emergency Kit Toy Design

A little toy design project I worked on with two other people based off of the "My First Doctor's Kit" by Fisher Price. Helped come up with what toys should be included, and made 3D models based off the concept drawings.

Caricatures of My Freshmen

On the last day of Life Drawing class, I decided to draw some of the Freshmen I TA for. I'm gonna miss them *sniff*.

Bridge Concept Digital Painting

From my environment concepts class, along with the process I went through. All the way from 3D, black and white, to the final image.

Ink Figure Gestures

Ink demos for the students I teacher aid for, 3-4 minutes each. These things are supper fun to do! Get to move that brush quick like a samurai sword!

Current Work In Progress

Went over to Santa Monica today to do some digital plein air painting in my landscape concepts class. This view was gorgeous! I'll be turning this into a finished concept piece within the next week.
Photoshop CS5.

Spring Break paintings and what-not

A few things I was able to do in between doing homework during spring break. My dining room back at home, my room at my apartment, and my roommate Mindy sitting at her laptop like always.

Moleskin Adventures

A collection of environment and people life drawings from around my home, school, or wherever I happen to be at at the time; a sketchbook diary. My goal is to fill this whole Moleskin up by the end of the semester. I love the sizes of these things, they're just so convenient!
