Style: Alley cats in Pasadena

we're supposed to be emulating the style they used in 101 Dalmatians--here's my lineart so far--I need to make a few tweaks and additions.

I've decided to take a break from my intro to maya stuff by....well doing more work haha! Here's a sneak peek of two of my pages for my style guide for style. Off to bed for now u_u 10/07/12 6:05am

Dark Bathroom

So I'm taking this class called "The Dream" and we are supposed to create a dream journal with some visual imagery. My mom was driving me in the car and was going to park in the garage but for some reason, the controller was downstairs on one of my bookshelves. When I got there, the bathroom door was wide open but it was pitch black in there. (There's actually a window in the bathroom so it would never actually be that dark) I tried to turn on the knob of the lamp next to me but it wouldn't work. I somehow knew that either I had disconnected it....or someone or something had gotten to it before I did.
OoOOoOOOOOooOoOo

sorry for the really sad iphone pic but I figured that I would have a ton of these by the end of term and won't put all of it on here. The watercolor pencils I used were great but I could have executed it a little better (perhaps less sloppy and thought about my colors more) but that will just come over time. On top of that, this isn't supposed to be some dazzling piece of art I put a lot of thought into--it is hard to not care about how you do art when you plan to have a career in it. =_=

This is done with watercolor pencils, a faber castel brush pen (permanent carmine), and some colored pencils here and there.

I have six classes this term and I tried to balance it out by choosing classes with what seems to be a manageable workload. But I will force myself to update with either crappy iphone pictures or crappy scans! :D

peach cobbler

Just a little peach cobbler I made for my mom last week. It was alright--I wanted to actually try the Aretha Franklin peach cobbler recipe but I was to lazy to make pie dough. Honestly, in all the pictures I took, it looks like fried chicken with chocolate and vanilla ice cream haha.
