25 Feels Like...

Planning to do a series of "25 Feels Like"

Not just one about babies. I'm sure there will be one soon about how I can stay up until 3 and it's because I'm dancing to ABBA,

Not because I have a tiny infant that demands my attention.

Which is cool. But in the mean time,

damn babies are cute!

Moar babeeeez. 

Home

My apartment. I will miss it when I leave. Trent and I are looking for a place together and it's incredibly 

a. irritating and b. disheartening and c. I should just be happy we're moving in together, but both our apartments are really awesome. 

I really wish they would take the 'Aaron's Dry Cleaning' sign down from above my window, but whatever. It adds a certain class. 

Yesterday!

I'm trying, I'm trying!

Sorry guys,

I didn't meant to fall off the blog wagon, but I got super busy.

Now it's summer, schools over and i'm back to be a fully time bakery person.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop drawing! No, this is my new goal:

Draw Something Every DAY. 

This sounds super easy, but last week I experienced this crazy anxiety when I thought about my goals for the summer.

"I need to create something amazing! I need to create a webcomic! With interesting characters! That'll be my masterpiece!"

Oh my god i was killing myself with pressure. So much so that i didn't want to draw anything! 

So yesterday I sat down and drew some super cute animals, and I felt better.

Super cute animals are great for writers block.

One of the few negative things about being on tumblr and being connected to so many great artists,

is that I become very negative when I see so much great art.

I'm jealous and overwrought with beginners anxiety.

Why even start when you're not going to be as good?

Which is silly. Because someday, I hope to be very good.

Even right now, I'm not so bad. 

It's hard to not compare yourself to others when drawing is such a visual and very personal thing. 

In any case!

Another thing I am doing is taking commissions. 

i'm excited about it, because I know with this first round of commissions I'm going to be so EXCITED to be doing art for someone else, they're going to be amazing. 

So! I am available for hire for very very cheap.

I can do posters, mini comics, invites, illustrations etc.

Let's talk! 

Skelling Ton

Oh mr skelington. Actually a really enjoyable exercise. Thinking about investing in my own skeleton to just hang out in my apartment. My boyfriend and dog would love that. 

LAZER EYES! (the dog and boyfriend in question)

Good things

I know I've been posting a lot of "art school" posts, understandably since that is what I am doing 80% (estimate) of my time. Soon it will be summer, my first semester will be over, and I will barrage the website with a plethora of pointless comics about how bored I am. in the meantime: 

I got into my first ever art show. It was the Design 123 show at Cornish for Design students. It may have been old hat for a lot of students there, but for me it was the biggest deal. My pieces were the only comics in the show, and it was the best thing to see them hanging there. 

Good things people. 

"These are so pedantic."

Also naked people. Figure drawing in class is awesome and fun. 

Ink! 

Oh Lord Perspective

We made foam core models of a structure, (I was thinking kinda roman/turkish bathhouse) and then inked them. Lots of practice with cross hatching!
