I'm back!


Sorry about being gone so long! But hopefully a few recent stuff I've done will make up for it. I've been busy with a part time job, preparing for college, and just about a million other things. I wish I had time to draw much, much more, because I need the practice. Anyway, you can click on these images to make them bigger.

I've been giving some serious thought into the type of career I'd like to have in the future. So far, art and fashion are the two that pop up most. I finally noticed just how much fashion matters to me in comparison to others. I never thought about it before, but I really do like the idea of mixing the two somehow. I guess before I didn't mean it that much when I said fashion influences me, but now I really do.

Oh, and I recently found a really good artist on Tumblr: http://myrollingstar.tumblr.com/
I like the delicate look to her drawings, just how precise everything is amazes me. I think I love her sketches the most, actually.

And on the subject of art and Tumblr, I must say this is a really worthwhile blog to follow: http://theartofanimation.tumblr.com/
There's a great variety of high quality, contemporary art here.

I've also been noticing how much I just love animation as a whole. I know as a child I would refuse to watch anything that wasn't a cartoon, but now it's different. I'm still watching and admiring the cartoons from my childhood, as well as falling in love with the new animated shows of today. I love the new styles, and I can tell when those making it care about what they do or not. I can't help but wonder that if I could figure out that whole animating thing, would I be able to make something that cool and interesting? I'm not sure. But I think I should give animation a serious try one day soon.

Alright, I'm talking too much about random things. Hopefully those pictures were good.
See you later!
