Chinese lions!
Chinese New Year is coming up and today Juan and I were able to go to Yee's Martial Arts where my brother and sister were practicing lion dancing. Their studio is going to be performing in the parade in San Francisco and it was really neat to see them prepare for it. I give them extreme credit for what they do..it looks so hard! Here are some of my sketches.

A present for me!
At the Sketchcrawl, I noticed that a really popular sketchbook was the Fabriano Classic Artists Journal.The pages are so nice and perfect for ink and watercolor too.
I couldn't stop talking about it to Juan and today he surprised me with one! :)
Although I am really happy I have the sketchbook, I loved the wrapping paper even more. Check it out:

First Sketch Crawl 2009
Yesterday I participated in my first SketchCrawl! The weather was fantastic..a perfect day to draw outside. I had an amazing time and met some very cool people and talented artists. I have not drawn from life in a while so it took me some time to get used to it again. Here are some of my sketches from the crawl.
We started off at Golden Gate park around the carousel and children's park..there were so many kids and families to draw.
We walked a ton and tried to find new areas to draw..through the Haight,stumbled across a basketball court..but we made our way to this place know as "hippie hill" for the rest of the day. In all my years of living in the bay area I had never been there.
It's def something to see...huge group of people in a circle playing drums together, girls doing hula hoops,people playing hacky sac..there was even some guy who dug a hole in the ground and was attempting to make his own course and play golf.
Around 4:30 everyone met up at the De Young museum to share sketchbooks and hang out for a bit.
I had a great day and will definitely make an effort to participate in the sketchcrawls to come!

Happy New Year!
Cheerleaders!
10 min photoshop sketch!
Here is my first post of the year..just a couple of quick sketches.
2008 flew by but it was great..newly graduated, I got a job as an animator at a fun, toy company working with great people, I turned 23 which is my favorite number!,I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world, I started a blog,and met some fantastic artists and friends!
I have many resolutions this year...and I intend to fulfill all of them! One that pertains to this art blog is to become a better artist! That being said, I will try to draw something everyday even if it's a quick little sketch..just so I don't let myself go rusty. 2008 was great but 2009 shall be an even more fabulous year! :)
p.s. If you haven't seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, PLEASE GO SEE IT! It is one of my favorite,heart-warming movies and I truly believe it will make everyone happier and appreciate life more. :) It is a great film.

Le Cirque Des Ballerines
These are some ideas for a new personal project that I plan on starting one day..I would like to incorporate hand drawn/traditional or digital painted bgs and 2d animation with actual pencil and paper. I haven't done any animation on paper since graduation so it's going to be challenging! :)
My animation will involve a circus of ballerinas, trapezes and tight ropes galore! Here are some really rough concept sketches. More prettier concepts coming soon!

Princess and Maya
I realized I've drawn our dogs but haven't posted actual photos of what they look like.
Here are a few pictures of them.
I have beanie babies that look just like them! I keep them at work. :)

Weekend sketches
I visited my best friend Kristina last weekend.
We did not do much as usual but we did draw fun, stupid pics and ate popsicles.
Here is a sketch I did of myself eating a Melona creamsicle. I still can't really draw myself in cartoon form but I'll keep trying!
If you haven't had a Melona creamsicle...boy, you are missing out BIG TIME!
My boyfriend was actually the one who got us hooked on them a long time ago and we are so glad! Now Kri has given them to her friends in Sac and they all love them too!
Anyway, they are Korean melon flavored creamsicles that come in honey dew,strawberry, mango and banana!
Although Kri had no real food...her fridge was fully stocked with Melona. What a great weekend.
We stopped by the mall and saw girls who looked just like this!
My highly detailed PAYLESS SHOES comic.
Just for the record we did not buy anything.
Here are two girls in fishnets.
Some pretty colors
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
