If anyone is wondering why I haven’t been around this week, this why. Commissions, commissions, commissions! This comic commission is especially fun. Small sample of what I’m working on. :)

Finally got my grades!

Sampling of some work for a paid job. The paper is supposed to have stuff on it, but I haven’t filled that in yet. I’m working on finals now, so things may be quiet for a few weeks and then I’ll post a lot of art. ;)

Aw man, I never put up any pictures of my nude final self portrait from last semester! The Santa hat makes it festive, doesn’t it? Putting this up because I am about to cover up this canvas for a final this semester. The circle of life!

Lots and lots of figure drawing this semester.

Some watercolor style tests for a project coming up. Reasonably happy with the later ones.

The top pictures are of my dress I made. I made the pattern based on my Summer pattern for the project and ordered it on fabric from Spoonflower. Then I made the dress using a vintage dress pattern. Very happy with it, I feel like it will get a lot of wear this summer. :)

The bottom squares are details of my illustrated patterns. In order from the top left, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. :)

Finally finished my big pattern project! I designed a modern twist on rococo patterning for each of the seasons. Additionally, I made a dress with the summer pattern and wore it to crit. Really loved everything I made this time around, so all the all-nighters were worth it.

Today is the birthday of one of my very best friends, Nina. :) You are so wonderful, and I wish I could be there to kiss you in person, but since I can’t I will settle for drawing it. :( We’ll be reunited in less than two months! I love you a lot and hope your day was excellent.

Hello! first, I want you to know that I reeeeeaally like your picture of the the girl with glitter all over her face and I want to ask you a little question about it: did you just body glitter or something else? My hobby is photography and I wanted to do something with glitter but never knew how to make it look like how you did so I hoped you could help me :)

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:58:54 -0400

Hi, thanks for your question! :) The girl covered in glitter in the photo was me, and I am absolutely NOT a photographer, so I was improvising with the process.

I used regular glitter from a tube (the brand is Darice and can be found here- http://www.darice.com/store/browse/catalog/wholesale-basics )glitter and adhered it with some eyelash glue. I would say use this combination at your own risk, because taking it off felt like rubbing sandpaper all over my face. :(

If you would have it on skin, I recommend the Crystal variety because it is slightly translucent, which makes it appear more like natural skin tone with some sparkle.

Hope that helped! :) Please send me anything you do with glitter if you choose to so I can ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over it!

Some concept sketches for an upcoming project. Stay tuned for more on that! :)

It has been a good week, but this month is going to be one of the busiest I’ve ever had, I think. And May will be pretty tough as well. Nothing but work until school lets out, but that’s okay! I’m super interested in all of the projects I’m working on. Just have to hop to it.
