Just a few sketches from two sketchbooks I’ve been working in during the school year.  There’s some character design, subway/GO train sketches, some friends, randoms, the last unicorn.  Some may recognize a couple animation faculty too =P  Enjoy.

Here’s two sketches I’ve done in the past week.  The first is a little girl who was screaming at her mum while I sat ten feet away at the Toronto zoo.  The second is Mike and our mutual friend Mark, both slaving away in a print studio at Sheridan.  
Below is my zoo portfolio I had to submit to my life drawing professor.  That day was freezing and in the middle of March break.  You could only imagine how many angry children there were at the zoo *cringe*.  I loathe the cold (I was miserable), and my drawings reflect that.  I’m a California girl at heart.  Enjoy.

Haven’t we all been there one way or another?  I’m trying to sketch outside my comfort zone and this certainly reflects that.  Below is my attempt at some layout, ugh.  Layout and I don’t get on so well together.  It’s a love-hate relationship to say the least.  I didn’t realize my vanishing points weren’t actually on the horizon line until I handed it in to be marked.  Dale said it still worked properly in perspective so HAH.  Take THAT, layout Gods!  Enjoy.

Here’s a load of drawings, sketches and a painting from the past five years or so.  Nothing is in order.  Some of the pieces are dated.  I have a lot of old work sitting around that I’ll eventually post.  Enjoy.

Just a quick sketch of Mike from today in my Philosophy of Religion class.  Enjoy.

Two sketches from a sketch book I have sitting on my desk.  The first is a sketch of Mike, the second a concept for a lamp I have to transform into a giraffe for my 3D class.  Mike’s in pen, giraffe’s in coloured pencils & ink.  Enjoy.  One quick note - I hope to post some funky art soon.  My inspiration is Miss Badu’s new album, New Amerykah.  It’s working wonders.
