Pokemon

A few months ago, I joined this group called the "Pokemonathon" on Tumblr, so I've been drawing these little guys here and there in my spare time.

Drawing for Animation with Jake Parker

I have had the privilege this semester of taking Drawing for Animation again, this time from Jake Parker, which has been an awesome and very beneficial experience.  Here are some of the pieces I've done for his assignments so far:

Guarnido Emulation

While I was at CTN last week, I picked up a copy of Juanjo Guarnido's book, Blacksad, which is quite possibly one of the greatest comics ever made.  So for my emulation assignment this week, I decided to tackle Guarnido's style and draw my younger sister as a Blacksad character.
