Sandimation!

Hi! I just finished a sound-based sand animation for my animation for illustrators class. I've had so much fun with this class and I really hope I'll have the opportunity to take another animation class next year. Here's the one I just finished.


I also think I've had a kind of breakthrough in painting recently. I had never worked in oils before this year and I'm finding myself liking them more and more. I'm excited to continue exploring them! Here's the two-week figure painting I completed today

Cut-out animation

Hello! This is my latest animation project! The background and characters are hand-made in gouache and colored pencil, which was a new medium to work with, but I had a lot of fun with it. Pardon my terrible singing!

Metamorphosis

So this is my second animation project. I love this class but it eats up all my time. This week's assignment was to create an animation that contains a metamorphosis and is able to loop seamlessly. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out...

Animation!

This is my first animation project! I think this class is going to be well worth the additional stress of taking an extra studio

Baby's first digital painting

So I started an acrylic painting the other day when we had a snow day... and it was looking pretty bad. I tried to work on it for the next few nights but it was a pin in the butt to keep having to put out all my paints and acrylics dry so fast yadda yadda. SO, then I decided to take a picture and fuss around with it a bit in photoshop. Well it looks a LOT better now and it was pretty fun to play with. I still don't really know the program that well and I'm sure there are better brushes to use, but thankfully there are an abundance of people around me at RISD who are about 200 times better at digital painting, so I shall seek help from my super talented peers next time!

BLARF

Hello! I just finished my second knitting project ever! Its a blanket/scarf that i have dubbed the "blarf." It shall be cozy.

Painting Final

I "finished" my painting final! There are still a few things I want to fix but I don't really want to make any major changes right before crit (in 40 minutes ha). I had fun with this one and I'm kind of getting excited about oils. 2 more crits and then I'm home for CHRISTMAS YAY! The picture here is kind of bad because I just glazed the left side so its still shiny.
