ProkoTV



I recently saw this guy's videos about drawing and I think it is a great resource! I really like the way he breaks down the fundamentals of drawing and rendering.

Beast: Midnight Sun

Beast: Midnight Sun




For several months I have been on a website called Polyvore. It's a site where you can make fashion, art and interior collages. I love to use it to design layouts and to work with fashion, color and texture! Here is one of the sets I have created.

Impact Service Project

A couple of months ago I was asked to create a logo and handbill for The Impact Movement. They have a summer mission project this summer called "Impact Service Project" and designed the material for that project. Here are the initial concepts:


Logos after refinements:

Mail Carrier

Here is a project that I did last year. I designed a character with a blue-collar job 20 years into the furute. In the future I created, nothing has really changed except the weather (is very cold) and technology (more advanced).


And here are color studies

Recent Work + WIP

I haven't posted in a while because I have been busy with school. Here is some of the work I have done this semester:


Assignment: Create a Google doodle about an event that took place in 1913. I did my doodle about Cracker Jacks because they began putting prizes in the boxes in this year.


Assignment: tell the story of a place in a sequence. I chose a fun park that is in my city. I decided to tell the story of the experience of the fun park through levels of a video game. Each level tells you about the different things you can do.


Assignment: Take a nursery rhyme and change it into a crime story and design a book cover for the story while including the villain of the story. I started with the rhyme "There was an old woman who lived under a hill" and my story was about the old woman luring people in with her pies to ultimately kill them. 


Assignment: Illustrate the story "Alice in Wonderland" with 8 full page spreads, 4 of which have to include pop ups. I am making my book look like cut paper but this is really digital. I scanned in paper, added shadows, and cut out shapes in Photoshop. This is what I have done so far; it's the part where she follows the rabbit into wonderland.
