Coloring With Water

So I've been dying to get a little watercolor kit that I can carry around and put down color really quickly in my sketchbook. Finally, we were instructed to do so (AKA I had an excuse to purchase) in my gesture drawing class . It's been a lot of fun. Here are some samples (click them to enlarge them):

Figure Drawings

With finals finally behind me, I can get back to posting on my blog. First stop: I don't think I've ever posted figure drawings here. Here ya go. I was trying to loosen up with some markers.

A Perfect Storm of Babies

The theme in the sketchbook for the week was 'Cute'. I'm not good at cute.

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

When I was young I was ADDICTED to STAR WARS. I read the books, had the original trilogy memorized, knew the names and back-stories of ridiculously obscure characters, and loved everything about it. The prequels and special editions kind of ruined a part of it for me. These days, I just try to keep my chin up and not let George get me down.

As a side note, discussing Star Wars with family members who have only a passing knowledge of the movies is a great way to generate names like "Chewbacco".

Fall Is Upon Us

Fall is here. The leaves are changing and falling to earth. And I just used up all the ink that came with the new Pentel Pocket Brush I bought. If only the BYU bookstore sold the refills, then I wouldn't have to pay S&H...

Alas...

At long last, technology has caught up with the major desire of high society people everywhere. That is: to keep their shoes from getting dirty. Silver Spoon Transportation, the leader in high class mobility solutions and exotic means of transportation, announces it's opening catalog of luxury vehicles specially selected for the discerning members of royalty, successful business people and other equally wealthy individuals. The catalog includes a variety of state of the art, ostentatious modes of transportation ranging from aerial Hat-o-Copters(tm) to the earth-bound Mobile Ballroom(tm).

"Wealthy people do not want to travel in something the size of their handbag," says Bonaparte DeVille, owner of Silver Spoon Transportation. "They want to travel in something spacious and exciting that matches the size of their personality, while sampling from a $6 million bottle of red wine. This holds true whether they are going to the Opera or attending a banquet with the Pope or the President. And they want to do it without having to be harassed by the envious and the vulgar."
