Some random sketches. Trying to loosen up some more!

Life drawing from last week. Got there late and missed the first few sets of quick poses. :(

And finally, going to start playing D&D soon! Still very new to it (and a bit afraid) but it seems like a lot of fun, and I'm so excited to get started (plus I totally feel like I levelled up my geek)! Here's an attempt at designing my character, who is going to be a Sylvan elf.

Summer kind of feels like it's floating away. I'm going to New York city in a couple of weeks, as a sort of college graduation celebration and one last adventure before my two bros move away. SIGH, but that's how life works I suppose. :')

It's March Break for me, yaaaay! Though it hasn't really felt that way at all... for one, I've been going to college anyway to work on my things so I don't fall behind, and life-wise things haven't exactly been going well! My mom got a cyst in her ankle removed a few weeks ago, and though there were no problems during the operation, her recovery has just been for the worst. Turns out her foot is super infected and she's been in and out of the hospital all week/hooked on a portable IV at home. :( Not exactly the best winter we've ever had, with her shoulder injury before Christmas (today was the 5th time I've had to drive her to the emergency room since fall) and our whole basement flood ordeal. BUT at least the weather hasn't been so bad?

On a lighter note, I officially have a spot at Animaritime 2012's Artist Alley again! C: The tables were all filled up in the span of a day, which is like, insane. TIME TO GET CRACKIN'

Life drawing this week went okay for me, not my best but not my worst either. We didn't do a lot of short poses, and the ones I do have didn't turn out that great. SO here's the longer stuff:

10 minutes - super classy pose!

10 minutes

20 minutes - creative pose ;)

Here's something I painted on a complete I'm-tired-of-working-on-my-resume whim earlier this week, but I'm really fond of it for some reason. Funny how that works...

Approx. 3 hours

Finally, I contacted VanArts today to find out when I could start applying for the Sept. 2013 session, since I'm planning to take care of that this summer. Apparently I can apply anytime and they've already accepted some people? ...I'm worried. 8| 

Short update is short! Since I'm going to be updating my Tumblr tonight with the sketches of the month, I needed to scan the stuff from last night's life drawing. So here ya go!

10 minutes

10 minutes - I wish her arms and head would have gone as well as the rest of her body but ohhhhhh what can ya do, I still really like this one!

5 minutes.

Also - reserved my table for the Artist's Alley this year! Yay! Now hopefully PayPal won't make me go through hell to pay D:
