Camel Scorpion Man

I'm not very good at naming things...

What started off as a final project turned into somewhat of a cliche sci-fi dream come true.

The assignment: Pay a visit to the Museum of Natural History to take a look at the evolution of earth's creatures and study their skeletal makeup, ultimately combining parts of different animals to form something new.

The result:

Does it even matter what the actual assignment was?

Quick Updates and Sketches

So after that massive lie in January promising I would "keep up with this blog this year", I'm finally following up with another post...ten months later!

This semester I'm actually taking a figure drawing class so I can't fall behind on posts even if I wanted to. No more excuses! I'm super excited to just practice drawing more because I have so much to learn, especially when it comes to shading and coloring. It should be pretty interesting to track my progress and see the improvements over time (and hopefully I will improve haha).

The first few weeks we focused on a lot of quick 1-5 minute figures, which were really challenging. But now's the fifth week, and I've gotten better. Here are some 5-15 minute sketches:

The human face is one of the most beautiful things. I believe that each face carries with it clues of its owner's personality and past experiences. It fascinates me that simple a arrangement of features like the mouth, nose, and even eyebrows, can stop people in their tracks to have a second look.

New toy came in the mail!

In the middle of midterms, I receive a package from Amazon that I ordered a month ago. I knew that if I opened it, it would be the end of my studying. Reluctantly, I surrendered it to Euna, who guarded it until after my exam.

"What is the package?" you ask. It's a Wacom Bamboo Tablet!! Ahhh yaaaaay. So I finally got to play with it today after my exams and here is the result:

Quiet afternoon

If you give me hours of studying to do plus being alone in a peaceful room, this is the result.
