Snake Throws Mysteriously


In my Concept Drawing class, first day, Tin asked us to grab three crumbled pieces of paper, one out of the three cups that contained, respectively, nouns, verbs and adverbs. We are to spell a sentence out of them in that order and illustrate it. Mine was Snake Throws Mysteriously, which I thought was kind of funny considering how much I love things happening mysteriously and that word. I'm not sure when the project is due yet and whether there are going to be any more specifications, but I just went home and drew this. I feel like working at Kaman's Art warmed me up for a lot of sketching, so I kind of can't stop... Here I was trying to learn some color and make the feel mysterious but whimsical.

Anima Going Color!

Two versions of this image, and I don't know which is better. The dark blue reads more as an underwater environment and connects better to the second one, but the pale skin toned one has more of an intimate feel and makes it a bit more clear that the drowning scene is in self.

Dinosaur Shopping


This one's for Pablo. Eventually I'll have a color version of it. I'm trying to do it JJ style in Photoshop. And, as with everything I do, I want to make it into a little book. The dinosaur kind of reminds me of this crocodile Gaena, that's a pretty popular cartoon character in Russia, a friend of Cheburashka who's a craze in Japan now. He wears a hat and glasses and plays the accordion. I didn't base my Dino on him, but found some resemblance in retrospect, especially in how polite and awkward he is.
I'm getting a little terrified of how much cute stuff I've drawn lately. But I do like this dinosaur. There seems to be a little sad note about him, unlike the milk adventure drawings I am doing for my uncle, which are a stretch of how far I can take the ridiculously adorable absurdity of the poem. This sketch, though, seems a little more mine and when I work on more cartoony animations, I suspect they will take off from this style.
