Naked Guy
For the past few months I've been drawing naked people once a week. It was weird at first...but then it gets kind of normal.
Most weeks we draw in charcoal which is messy, hard to work with, and just plain horrible. But for the past two weeks of class, we were allowed to bring in whatever medium we wanted. I chose digital myself, and brought in my laptop and tablet.
I've never tried to draw from life on it before, so it was a new experience. Towards the end I think I got pretty okay at it, with the exception of the "hairy" line work that my teacher said I need to get rid of.

All jokes about the angle aside, I'm kind of proud of this. It shows that I made improvement, which hopefully can only continue.
Now I wonder what kinds of people will find this post based on the tags and title...hmmmmmm...

Blogs I been lovin'
Miso Happy: A pretty popular doodle blog on tumblr. This is actually one of the blogs that inspired me to start using my tablet again. And guess what? This girl studied my major and lived in Seattle like I do!! (Until she moved a while ago...) I totally want to be her best friend and doodle together and make cute things and be all Seattley and graphic designy. * _ *
Little Miss Paintbrush: Another cute doodle blog! I mean just look at her layout, it pretty much sums everything up as soon as you open her page. Plus I love the sense of humor as well.
Cute in Korea: This blog is just starting out, but what's already there is great. Elle is a foreigner living in korea, it's interesting to hear about korean things from her point of view. (My favorite is the food posts eh heh heh...)
"Huffmans'" flickr: Not a blog...that makes my title a lie...But I absolutely adore this girl's photos! It's no secret that I have a Disneyland obsession, and since I can't afford to go anytime soon, I spend a good amount of time online pretending I'm there.
When I get tired of the standard park photos that everyone takes, I look for something a little more fantasy-ish and artsy. That's exactly what huffmans' photos are, beautiful, surreal photos that make the most magical place in the world look even MORE magical. Here's some of my favorites.
So that's how I've been spending my free time lately, looking at these blogs (and photos) for hours on end. :)
