its funny what happens once you’ve lost enough sleep. pardon the colors, this was the best color correction that i could pull off. i blame the camera flash + bad basement lighting that resulted in an almost unsalvagable picture.

im carrying around 2 new sketchbooks now. 1 is random goodness, while the other will contain themed doodles. that is, i split the theme sketchbook into sections, each with a running theme – be it materials used, the only thing that can be drawn, the style in which to draw, and so on and so forth. these are from the first section, namely drawings that are inked with two brush pens: 1 black and 1 red.
the first one is inspired by “rusted lung” whose artist i dont remember the name of…. (i havnt actually picked up the book yet…) and the second is of, well, death from neil gaiman’s “death: the high cost of living”
huh. i changed the layout again. i dont know why. i guess this time it was cuz i was sleepy and just downright bored. ill post some sketchbook stuff later – i still have this paper to finish (2 more pages to go!)
maybe this whole layout changing quirk of mine will become a monthly routine?
hrmmm.
first off: sorry REY. i want to work in the studio instead of my little cave of a basement apartment, but ive been nocturnal the whole week and sleep in the afternoons until around 11-12 in the evening. sucks, really. ive only been going to the studio a few times but miss the fun already. blame my really bad time management skills.
yeah, okay, so on with the post…
this piece is, i believe, the first one that i have ever tackled completely digitally. hell, even my design pieces from last sem had traditional elements scanned and panned in. this 22×8.5 inch baby was done completely digitally though. why doesn’t it look like it’s 22 inches long? well, that’s because this is how it looks folded.
more under the cut!
narrative and altered ego are my fav classes this semester. although you wouldn’t know it since i don’t seem to show up for class. i mean, NATALY was wondering about my presence in altered ego this past monday…
anyway, this project is for narrative and involves moments that invokes memories. it is also suposed to be 3 pages but i did 5 instead. why? well, 2 things really: 1. because i wanted a slower pace – its supposed to reminiscing about the past after all, and things tend to slow down when that happens, right? and 2. i wanted to push myself.
more explaining and – more importantly – the rest of the pics under the cut!
