Animal Sketches!! and lame score sheet (T_T)

So I was seeing all these sketches I had, and I realized many of them were animals in my atempt to improve on the subject for my portfolio.
I did these guys last semester

Also durign the winter fair I learned that cows can be as big as an elephant... and they hardly fit in your page if you don't know that. So I just considered this guy to be decent enough to show.

Then during christmas break... Meet Carlos the Iguana :D (He has the face of a Carlos, so I decided that should be his name) and his friend...

Last week I went to my roommate's town and I met her dogs and cats! but since the cats barely appeared, I just drew her dogs

 I did some leg sudies and then I tried doing more of a character with the dogs

Finally, a new sketch of my dear character Chiripa who got all fours in my portfolio evaluation :D

Though neither of us deserve that.... She is mean and I don't feel like my drawings of her were good enough...



 Oh and my sad 3.15 scoresheet....

Why am I posting these? because when I was working on my portfolio these things were good feedback to me! so I hope this can help somebody :)

Let's start a musical number because... I got in!

Yes! I did it, after three tries I'm in now!!! I'm sooooo happy! yes! so much I could make a musical number about it. Sorry what I mean is.. that I got into the animation school I wanted :D 
Now I'll finally be making what I want to do! and that's a really nice feeling. I posted my animation portfolio a few days ago saying that I hoped it was the winning one, and it was. I just feel really bad for the people that didn't get in. I've been through that twice, and its a terrible feeling! Its the word they use to say it "refused" it sounds like they angrily said that they didn't want you. But I'll help anyone who wants my help, even if its moral help cause I don't consider myself thaaat good (and I haven't gotten my score sheet yet). Anyways I promise I'll do my best to add all the love of the world in every drawing I do. Hopefully I'll make some good magic that'll make others happy ^ ^
I had many ideas of musical numbers, but I'll just leave you with one that always makes me happy, and its also Chripa's (my character) theme song. For some reason  I just had more fun and inspiration drawing her when I was listening to this.

Sorry... no art today, just happiness. But I'm working on three projects right now, so its all good

sketches and a painting

Well hello again my dear world, this time I brought some sketchbook randomness with me... and a painting. Tell me if you see an improvement, some are quite old.... 

2010

2011

 
I also want to introduce you to my grandfather and his Scrat hat (yes Scrat for the Ice Age movie) my cousins made him wear. It was very fun to draw though it kind of reminds me of Van Gogh  :P

aaand of course I have a lot more sketches, but these are the ones I have scanned so far.. a big notebook is good for drawing, but certainly not for scanning.... but oh well.

And here's the painting. I wanted to post it now cause I'm proud of it! :D its the first thing of mine that goes on display this year! and its a painting! I used to be so bad at it...

Portfolio Part 3 ~layout~

Yes! the las part is here! also one of the hardest 
*cough*room drawing*cough* again sorry for the bad quality photos my camera takes... and my shaky hands

Actually I did have fun drawing this, it was just difficult. But here's another one I really like, my object drawings! I like the second one better, I feel like the first one is kind of empty... but I couldn't make it work as I wanted if it wasn't so simple at first.

Finally here are the sculptures I used as extra pieces... I just feel sad for the crocodile cause again chicken pox didn't let me finish it the way I wanted to.

That's all folks! 

Hope you enjoyed seeing my portfolio and wish me luck... this is my last chance, but as all the people around me say: believe in yourself and be positive!

Portfolio Part 2 ~animation part~ aka the fun part

Actually I had fun doing all of my portfolio. But yeah I guess this was one of the parts I enjoyed the most, except maybe for the storyboard. Don't get me wrong, I love the final thing, but it was hard to do.


Now meet Chiripa :) and her rotation 

please ignore any possible mistakes..... bad thing to look at your portfolio after handing it in... anyway the judges already saw it, and I hope they can forgive my mistakes... but I think its good that I was able to see those mistakes because that means I'm improving... I guess

Next are my action poses and expressions!

Finally for the second part, storyboard! I was so happy they changed the characters, and the story. I just had more practice drawing girls and dogs :P

End of part 2

Portfolio Part 1 ~life drawing~

Yesterday a friend reminded me to do this... I just hope that in a few days I can say that this is the portfolio that got me in.... please god!
Anyway here's my animation portfolio enjoy seeing the mistakes I didn't see before handing it in..... D:  My confidence went down 1 point, but I worked on this since the summer which adds 1 point, so it cancels it :D (I wasn't bad at math, I just didn't like it)


The first part is Life drawing!!!! (human)

Next is a personal favorite... animals!! aaand I think I didn't do bad.. though I actually wanted to do living animals, not stuffed animals(I feel sad every time I say it :/ ). You can blame chicken pox for not letting me go to the zoo. Ohhh and forgive the bad quality... my camera is not a very nice artifact. 

Next are my haaaands. I liked these too. But I'm not so sure I liked the people's reaction towards them. I wanted to make them funny, not disgusting. 

End of part 1
