Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me! Baybaaaaaay!

(If you know the movie Goofy Movie, then you know what part of the movie that's from.)

HEY YA'LL! Soooooo...I just wanted to let ya'll know that I'm currently developing the logo and banner for Berry Artsy. Can you say, "HOLLA!!!" Anywho, keep stalking my art :) and you shall see it soon! Oh and btw, I like the stalking. Don't be ashamed. I'm a blog-stalker myself...and PROOOUD of it.

Before I bounce, I'd like to thank those of you who've been checkin' on my blog regularly. Mucho love-o. I appreciate it. Really I do. I feel the love through these world wide web wavelengths EVERY TIME I get a FB "like" or Twitter "RT" or an actual comment ON THE BLOG itself! (Shout out to Dom & G-dawg for their comments so far). Make sure to officially "FOLLOW" the blog (if you have a Blogger or Gmail account). If you don't have one, create one. :)

Until Next Time...

Quarters Past

Tweet

On this Monday, I've also decided to post some work from my past quarters at Ai.

These first three pieces are from my first quarter at Ai in my Color Theory class.

These two pieces below are from the quarter that just passed - Quarter 2.


This is a self-portrait. :)


Much Love

Recess is Over

Tweet Happy Monday my cyber-folk! I hope your weekend was a beautiful one (despite the rain and hail that my Cali people had to endure). Today I've decided to post drawings from the past 2 weeks of my gesture drawing class. We normally get a new model every week. The drawings below are of two models total. Check 'em! :)

Squeaky Clean

Tweet 'Ello Mates *In my Australian accent* Hope you're having a happy hump day.
Right now I'm in my character design class on break. I just got done presenting my 3 characters - The Cali Valley Girls (earlier post).
[SideNote: I have the same character design instructor as my gesture drawing class the day before. So, with that being said, I showed her my 3 drawings yesterday and she told me to clean up the line quality before today (when the homework was due). On an extreme note, she wanted more of "The Incredibles" cleanliness, less of "Ed, Edd n Eddy." Lol! Because I had already completed all 3 she required that I just clean one of them; the "Dom" character. She chose Dom because of the pose.]
Fast-forward to today's class, I presented all three characters (with the modified Dom character). Here's the new Dom:



I modified the design in Adobe Illustrator.
What do you think? The original OR the modified STYLIZED version? Thoughts? Thanks :)

Etch-a-Sketch

Tweet Right now I'm at school on break in my gesture drawing class so, I thought, "hey! I have time! Let me go post something!" Now here I am.

Okay...so...last night, I was on my way back home from school around midnight. I normally whip out my sketch book as I'm commuting home since I have a 45-minute commute. As I was settling myself on the bus, there was a man on the bus with a guitar who asked me if I was an artist. I told him yes (of course). Then he asked if I'd be able to draw him. I told him that I'd draw him right then and there and for him to act natural. This is what I did:

He was a cool guy. Very cool chill personality. :) His name was Albert.

As he was getting off at his stop, I overheard him tell another commuter on the bus, "Music saved my life." :)

Character Design Homework

Tweet Soooo tonight I worked on my Character Design homework!

I had to create three stylized characters.

I was inspired by my two girls: Angie Marie and Dom...aaand myself. :)

I initially thought that if I were to create a cartoon on us, it'd be called "The Valley Girls," since we are all "technically" valley girls. Then I thought that "Cali Girls" would be a cute name as well. Soooo I'm in between both names.

Which title do you like better? And what do you think about the designs?

Let me know your thoughts!

The Beginning of the "Berry Artsy" Road

Tweet Greeting Everyone!

I've created this blog to document the progress, projects, ideas, and endeavours of my career as a Berry artsy student at The Art Institute of California. Currently, I am in my 3rd quarter and am studying Media Arts & Animation. You'll get everything from portfolio-worthy work to doodles and sketches that probably won't ever leave my sketchbook.

My plan is to push this blog to its highest capacity in hopes of showing the world my growth as an artist, student, and just a plain ol' person. Thank you for checkin' in and I wish you much insight. Not only am I doing this for me, I am doing this in hopes that my journey can be that seed of inspiration for someone out there. With that being said, buckle-up and get ready for the ride!!! It's going to be bumpy!

This is going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Thank you for your interest. One love.
