I don't know why I've been soOo obbessed with scarecrows lately. I just think they're so darn cool. Don't ya think? This is a personal project for myself and I was motivated by the movie "Trick R Treat." There was a little pumkin monster kid that dressed up as a scarecrow for Halloween and would kill anyone who hates the spooky traditional ghost holiday. So for you trick R treaters/Halloween haters out there, beware of the scarecrow kid. 
This is another one hour speed painting that I had lots of fun with. Frogs are the coolest, especially the little tiny ones with strange yet vibrant colors.
Alright my friend Jeff convinced me to start speed painting to help improve my skills. So far i'm having lots of fun and learning something new each time I do it.
I've been avoiding painting digitally for a very long time now. And I think it's really time to get serious with it. I can't even remember the last time I painted anything like this probably two years ago back in the 113B class. A friend once told me that the next level of drawing is painting! Therefore there will be more of these babys coming your way. This painting was inspired by the great Mark Behm (very tatlented artist). You can check his blog on one of my links. Anyways, more to come see you next time!
I think I need to add some red into the picture somewhere...maybe some mushrooms and perhaps little red riding hood picking on it. There will be more to come...
The turtle's one of my favorite. The colors really blew me away when I was finished with it. As for the fishes, I really wanted to capture the tatoo looking art, since i'm going to learn this summer and acutally own my own kit.
Who would have thought marbleizing figures could look so cool! Leroy Parker really pushed me to draw out of the norm and I can see and feel a major difference.
I've gained a couple of pounds, so I wanted to draw myself look a little more masculine. I recently got a haircut which is really short and thought the whole look would match really well with my Africa/Hawaii necklace.
Leroy Parker, an art professor at San Jose State, stresses that more people should draw what's hip, cool, and out of this word...He calls it art "NOW." Parker tells me that what's now, is what sells. Parker has sold his work for thousands of dollars, so I'm a strong believer.
I used multiple happy faces instead of just the actual word itself because I wanted to do something different, simple, and fun.
Okay ladies and genties. These are some designs done for my family's donut shop. It's not the strongest compared to the professionals, but good enough for the customers to read and understand. ahHhhhhH....I can still smell the fresh goodies now.
I was inspired by the Iron Man movie and some of the designs from Cheeks (Sean Galloway, he's one of my greatest heros as of now). For those that have just graduated, I am very proud. I hope each and everyone of you make it big! And, congrads to Amy Rhodes, she's LIKE so cool. Yaaaaaaaaaa...
I wanted to work directly from memory and not worry about rendering. This was done in about an hour, and maybe a little longer. It is not 100 percent done, but I am going to leave it alone for now. In any case, it was good practice painting digitally.
I'm currently taking a photoshop class just learning the basics. After viewing Cheek's art blog I was inspired...
I was at the zoo with some friends...I tried drawing the animals, but I got frustrated so I focused on some trees...
This was in the Oakland Museum...
Drawing the skull is a great way to learn how to draw heads...a friend told me that if you can draw heads, you can draw anything...
I really like this character...It has a lot of life, I can definately feel the movement in this one...
I felt like stretching something and I came up with this particular character...I was also inspired by the sequal Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer...
Drawn from a live model in my portrait class....I wanted to have some fun so I exxagerated a few things...
Jackson Dryden's probably one of the best at using a pen. He inspires me so much to move on and do my best! I enjoy using a pen beacuse it makes me loose and just let go. You should try it sometimes....
I've been toying around with watercolor a lot! It's such an awesome medium because it's so free. I really like turtles for some strange reason and I can't wait to do more.
