Some of the stuff I painted/sketched from my day at Almaden Lake with Shaina Patel :) Luckily I got to catch up with her and her adventures in India! However, that also meant less sketch time. I'll be going back again and doing some more sketches!

It's Thursday!

"It wasn't me", Pencil

"Mama What Are You Doing?", Pencil

"Two Worlds", Pencil

"I Can't Do Bulbasaur Stuff", Pencil

Here are some promised sketches! First one is of a mischievous girl who is constantly in trouble. Second is a memory I have of always asking my mom what she's doing. My sister has been so inquisitive recently, it just had to be done. Third, "Two Worlds", is a bit girly but I thought it was cute. Fourth is off of a moment when Ally was doing odd movements while my best friend, Varun, was over. When he asked her what she was doing, she replied with a frown "I can't do bulbasaur stuff."

Each one is a beginning of a painting process that I hope I'll have the time and motivation to make into their potential. However, any painting will have to be postponed until after Saturday because I'll be having a date with the famous Shaina Patel, one of my close friends and mentors. I can't wait :) I plan on painting for the very first time outside of a room! I've often sketched things I see, but never have I moved all my water color stuff with me to a location and just painted all day. I'm excited to post what I see!

Until then, Peace out boys and girls.

Thursday Sketches

I've decided that Thursdays and.. umm, some other day of the week.. will be dedicated to sketches! Sketches of people, what I see, things from my imagination, painting plans that were never executed, etc. will be the focus. Quite a "focus"I have.

I'll be posting more sketches as the day continues. If I can't post them throughout today, they'll be posted.. some other day of the week! Everything will be chronological to see how I grow as I continue observing the world around me and the images inside my head.

The following sketches were done last night while browsing and stalking some of my favorite artists (Alex Woo, Bill Cone, you know, the Pixar artists!). Hopefully today I'll find time to sit somewhere and observe live models as they go about their day. Maybe you'll find a sketch of you walking in the mall in here. Ahahaha. I'll be watching. (Moo-ha-ha, says Chuck).

I know I said I'd upload more sketches, but, alas, Richard P. Feynman captured my attention all day! I cannot rest until this book is finished. Please read it too: "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"-- it's marvelous.

I decided my next sketch post will be on Sunday :) It works out because in two weeks I'll be taking classes, thus having more sketches to post on Thursdays, and I'll also have the weekends for my Sunday posting!

As for the in-between, well whenever I actually finish paintings or find something worth posting they will be uploaded. That's how I think I want to do things. Of course everything is subject to change, but I figured having some sort of plan to work off on is more beneficial for me, personally, than no plan at all.

Until then, Mr. Feynman will have my attention!

Beginnings

My decision to start a blog is because of my unwavering dream to become a set designer, character artist, or animator of sorts. As motivation, I'll always look at my soon-to-be five-year-old sister and remember to always be an example for her as she grows up: always strive to be a better person and never give up on yourself! In this blog I will keep a constant update on my artworks and whatnot.

The journey is more important than the destination, so here we go...!
