Latest Sketches

Sorry it has been a long while since my last post...I've decided to try a few new things this summer, and it has been super duper busy...which I suppose is a good thing! :)

Hoping to be better at posting more stuff soon (especially my Little Do They Know strips).  In the meantime, I thought I'd post the following sketchbook pages, which were recently done for David Colman's character design class at the Concept Design Academy.

Part of the first week's assignment was to go out there and sketch a bunch of people & animals, while trying to emphasize personality & design as much as possible. I still need to push these ideas much further and have a long way to go, but I'm learning a ton nonetheless!  It's good & fun practice...and it gave me a wonderful excuse to visit the Los Angeles Zoo...animals are so cool, but so challenging to draw :)  Please click the following to enlarge.  Thanks for visiting!






PS.  Happy Birthday, Mom!  Love & miss you!

Good work, Vivi :) It was fun to do your first week's assignment at LA zoo!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Oh no... now everyone out there knows I am getting old!!! Never mind..."Women are like wine -- the older, the better!" Should I say "the older, the wiser"???

Love,
Mom
