Battle Bobble



Me and Manny did some drawings about Bubble Bobble! You can check out his drawing, as well as his vastly superior explanation of what we did, at

Special days of the recent past no.15



Messing around with photoshop, and a little with a new brushpen I ordered. I've still got a lot of wiggle on my brush lines. Anyone with any tips for photoshop or brush pen, or who can recommend a brush pen with a finer tip, please come forward.

Quickie painting

A special person in my life is turning six, so I did this quickie painting for her.


Nothing says "Hey kid, you're six!" like a chicken leg and some shower-shoes!

Sketchbook! Updates! More!

Sorry I've been gone from the scanner so long. I've been doing some stuff. Like graduating!







I'm also working as an intern at a children's book company here in Montreal. It's unpaid, so if any of you know a sweet weekend or evening gig for me, please let me know!

In other news, my big sketchbook is finished and I'm tired of carrying a big sketchbook around. How do people like Moleskines around here? Do they live up to their reputation? Can they take a little abuse?

Underpainting

Some people have been asking me some questions about how that last watercolour went down. The answer is, of course, swearing and prayer. In any case, I also started with an underpainting. Nobody told me to do that, so I'm not sure it's going to work every time, but I sure hope it works this time because it's already done!









Sorry these pictures are sucky - watercolour is pretty unphotogenic.

On the table

Recently I've been trying to get back into watercolours. At first I chose the wrong colours I think. I was lucky because my co-workers know a lot more than me about painting and kind of steered me back on course.



Watercolours is kind of difficult but I'm so excited by all the colours that I don't feel so discouraged most of the time. I mess up a lot though. Like, 50% of the time I make something that is completely unusable.






















It's kind of fun sometimes to do something you don't know how to do, I guess.
