Took a break from my vis-dev book project to do some head studies from photos.

These have made me nervous for a long time, and it's nice to have fun playing with them :)

Betty, Demon Hunter - 48 hour game jam art

This weekend I worked on a 48 hour game jam celebrating strong female protagonists.  I mostly did environments, but there was a bit more.

Life Drawing 7/11 style

Well, Emily Carr University style actually.  :)

Sequence gestures

These are fun to do :)  The whole sequence informs each individual drawing, and helps you make choices.

Gestures and Expressions.

In between working on stuff I can't put up here, I've been trying for daily gestures and expression practice....here's today's:

July 4th life drawing, and a new project.

I'm working with a couple of friends on vis-deving a fairy tale, "East of the Sun West of the Moon", which, if you follow my instagram, you may have seen a bunch of studies of Norwegian costumes...also, if you follow my pinterest, there may have been some evidence there as well ;)
