Trying new painting techniques, practicing as many different styles as possible, focusing on value lighting...and of course, always observing anatomy.

Gael Monfils
This guy has the most extreme knee-ankle poses I've ever seen in sports. I don't watch TV and I am not a fan of any particular sport or team, but I stumbled upon this guy and had to draw him...except he looks ALMOST normal in these drawings. Maybe I was trying too hard to make it "look right?" I don't even know.

HEROES: UNMASKED
Bruce Wayne as Batman will always be #1, but I do have to say Batman Beyond blew me away as a series. The concept of a new-and-improved suit is a huge turn-on! Still, what I'm trying to depict is the human being behind each of the hero character... BEHIND the MASK.
Terry McGinnis:
Out of all of the Young Justice members, Aqualad is the best looking. He is also the leader, being the most mature, responsible, thought-provocative, thorough, and least brash. He doesn't don a mask, but this is him without his Stealth mode on. Also, is it just me, or does his H20 pack look similar to the Transformers logo? It makes him even MORE awesome, since he CAN "transform" and manipulate water~

!!THESIS STATUS!! [horrid, yet hopeful....]
This is a visual conception of what happened, is happening, and what hopefully will happen in the future with my thesis film Healing of Snow.
These are the three stages of myself:
The first [in the back] is an Autumn representation of my pulling my film along the winding yellow-striped [instead of brick] road from last year and this past summer. I am looking straight at my film, focused on my goals.
The second [the pouting middle one] is a Winter representation of what I'm currently heading towards [hence the background coinciding with winter and my film]; a lot of procrastinating pauses and frustrating adjustments are happening with the film, and I'm in my PJs more often than not because I rarely go out these days [not because I'm simply rebellious >wink<]. Yes, I do actually get more white hairs when stressed. In this version, I'm looking away from my film, with increasing difficulty to concentrate, but I still haven't let go of the rope.
The third [the closest to the viewer] is a Spring representation of what I hope to look like after completion of my film. This version is clean, dolled-up, ready-to-party-because-it's-time-to-GRADUATE! I am looking at my film in its entirety at the final stretch of the road, ready to let go of the rope [or cut it free], bent over from exhaustion, and the viewer can't see my face [because well, it hasn't happened yet]. Hopefully this road will end with another beginning!

PRAGUE 2011
This past June, 16 other classmates, two Film / Video faculty members from CalArts, and I went to Prague in the Czech Republic for 2 weeks. We went to learn about the country's history in animation and how it molded their culture over the past years. We were fortunate to go to Svankmajer's Studio, Studio Anima, and FAMU's Aurel Klimt's Studio. Below are a few sketches of the places we went to [iconic landmarks]. Also, HERE are my catagorized photographs from the trip.
