Hands

Its funny, I've been having trouble with what to do with arms when I draw people and my friend and fellow peer of mine suggested watching Disney movies. I was a little confused at first because I always watch Disney movies. But apparently Disney has completely conquered gestures. He said that no matter how close or far the shot, Disney always includes hands in every shot. So I started looking through stills and realized he was right. So the next time you watch a Disney movie, notice what they do with hands. Its really interesting.

Batman

So here are some character designs. I know its been a while, but my previous comic was horrendous. Its like I have ADD when I work and can't settle down to do tight pencils. So my professor recommended some scratchier styles of artits like Bill Sienkiewicz, which helped a bit. We don't know the story for this one yet, all we know is it involves Batman, the Ripper and a Prostitute in 1888 Winter of Gotham. So here are the designs and Travel Journal will be uploaded later. Enjoy!:)

Paris

So Paris was AMAZING. We took the train there and stayed in the Latin District for 5 days. We met with publishers, saw the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay, I ate a TON of desserts, had a glass of wine for the first time in a restaurant and saw all the rest of the sites. The beauty, the caricatures of the people, the churches and the art history really hit me. I'm definately in love with this place. It has to be one of the best trips. Oh, and I spent my bank account on European comic books. It was interesting getting those back to Lacoste.lol.

Lacoste

So pretty much, this is where I've been living this quarter. Its a small medieval village that our school restored on a hill overlooking the South of France. Its absolute heaven. Although I have to say, the 45 degree angle cobblestone hills are sometimes a challenge. But I love it here. They work us pretty hard. The cafeteria food is pretty good and theres about 6 people to a room. We go on field trips almost every day and the professors are awesome. So pretty much...its amazing and I'm hoping someday to move to this country.

Last of the Disney Portfolio

Here's the last of my Disney portfolio. That is 9 pieces in total. Wish me luck!:)

Pan's Labryinth Studies

So now that I'm back from Paris, France and back in Lacoste, I have a little more time to update the blog. The first update are my pdfs of the Pan's Labyrinth study I did. One of the pdfs is the long version and the other is the short version. They were going to be for my portfolio but I realized there may be copyright issues even if I say its from that movie...plus it doesn't show my picking of scenes. But I'll upload them here. Enjoy!:) http://www.scribd.com/doc/53071742 and http://www.scribd.com/doc/53071803 ....Paris and Lacoste updates coming soon! Au revoir for now!:)
