5 pages of pure love

I finally scanned in the 5 page poem comic I did for my mom for mother's day. I wrote the poem and then spent 3 full days drawing this out. It was so fulfilling.

And here they are! Click to see them larger.





They are pretty muhc unaltered from when I scanned them in. Yep yep.

Painting

I've been painting again. It's a blast! Acrylic is so fun! So much detail. So lovely. Rich colors. It's a good feeling.

I sketched out the picture first, and finally got to start painting on saturday night.

When it's finished, I'll take a picture and put it up here.

How I plan my scenes

Last night, I did some sketches for a very important scene in a story I'm working on. I would upload the sketches, but they are rather bloody therefore a bit disgusting. I still like them, but I also realized that there would be no survivors if there was that much-- erm, blood. So, I'll have to change that scene around. But it'll still be good! Oh yes! And it'll make so much more sense.

So basically, what I do is start sketching/doodling things from a scene. Sometimes it peoples faces or their hair or their hands. Usually, it's a good reference for me later. That's why I have a file box full of sketches. Good reference points.

A short piece is forming

So I was just in Utah this past week, chilling with my family, seeing my cousin marry Veronica, and all that good stuff. About 2 days before it was time to go home, I got very forlorn and bored with everything. I spent a good amount of time lying on the hotel bed and listening to music pour into ym iPod. At some point, one song made me think of a little story about a cab driver (most songs make me make up stories) and I ended up expanding it into a short piece. It's long enough, but short enough, that I could turn it into a 20 page comic. Woo hoo! I'm so excited!

BUT... today I hurt my hands. Tore holes in my poor fingers... So drawing is really hard. But I'll hopfully get it done!
