Random drawings: Earlier years
Inspired by Utenya and Nakatsu, I went back to my trusty old portfolio in search of drawings I had made "back in the day." So here's the tattered remains of my earlier works and I wish I knew how to make them bigger instead of this quasi-thumbnail size.
2000 Fashion Institute of Technology This was an assignment where we were supposed to look at magazines to draw a 3/4 face. I just made it up since I couldn't afford a magazine -_- |
2000 Fashion Institute of Technology This and the one to the right were for a "fashion line" we students were developing for drawing class. My theme was Buttercup Babies. |
2000 Drawn on marker paper and then cut out and pasted to a black mat board. I never did my homework on time, so I was always cutting off the fingers and toes by accident in the train to school. |
2002 My nephew-in-law. |
2006 I drew this in the car so it's really rough. This is my NE Druid with her Cenarion Herb bag and walking stick, haha! |
2007 St. Mary's College This was for one assignment where we were supposed to explore different styles. |
You can definitely see, I think, that I have a mish-mash of influences, from western comic books to manga and to fashion design. I actually had been told by my professors while I was in FIT to make my figures less curvy, less Beyonce-like and more Twiggy-ish and that's when I started reading manga to absorb some of the style. I don't really know how to categorize my style these days, since I haven't really drawn anything for fear that I have lost whatever it was that I had... =*(

Continue drawing what you want.. you will definitely find a genre that you will love and concentrate on drawing.

Thank you for that! Since fall semester started, I've been thinking about doing Children's Illustrations post graduation. I've looked it up as well and I'm just staggered by the awesome illustrations of so many talented artists, both the well established ones and the newly published. The competition is really crazy (and I must admit that I'm slightly cowed by it all) but that's my chosen career and by George I'm stickin' to it
