CHECK IT OUT

So upon suggestions from friends, I decided to continue my doodling of my daily outfit, into digital!

Check out my other blog: http://mikanlife.blogspot.com/ if you want to see it!

I just started it today so there's only one outfit, but by tomorrow there would be TWO! (if all goes as planned that is).

I will be doing both "indoors" and "outdoors" drawing.

Here's a sample:

Indoors -

so if you like it, come check it! :)

New Story!

Hello hello,
So. Illustrated Book.
I finally decided instead of continuing my work with "On the Way to School," I am going to start a whole new book called "Genie the Giraffe."

This is Genie:

A special kind of giraffe called Superlongoneckaraffe and that means that she has an exceptionally long neck. With that neck, she noses around other animals' business at the zoo.

 

The class decided the red Genie is the best. And with Jamie's suggestion, I'm going to use the purple Genie for a night scene. 

I want to make the story a pup-up, but with the limited time, I'm gearing toward the slide/interactive book. 

We'll see how it goes. 

Some color scheme studies:

Class decided on the one at the very left.

Any feed back would be great!

children's book...now in color!

So with Nick's help, I finally got my "On the Way to School" to be in color!

I'm not quite done with them, but I'm going to start inking up my other ones tonight.

Snow's crazy, but it's really pumpin me up to do more work. woot!

Check it all.

Suggestions or critiques are welcome. 

:)

my goodness...i had a blog?

great start. really.
i totally forgot i had a blog.

so, until i forget again, let me post up more work

these are more of my illustrations for the children's book :)

why does it keep one changing it sideways?!

That's upsetting. So I think I won't put up more until I get this figured out.

So my teacher suggested I change my title for the story.

title I got now: "On the Way to School"

Yeah... the whole story has nothing to do with going to school because the boy practically is stuck at school and uses imagination to figure out why his mother is late.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Let me post up few more and I'm going to bounce. Ciao

I forgot to mention: Merry Christmas and Merry Belated Christmas.

I'm currently in New Jersey right now with my roommate and friend, Laura. She's a lovely girl. If you see her around, tell her I said hi. We're on our way to go watch a movie!!! Hurrah

When I come back, I'll tell you more about New Jersey on my other blog... where I should be talking about my life.

writing for children's book

So I'm making a children's book for one of my literature class.

Because it's such a large project, I decided to finish it for my next semester's Illustrated Book course.
But check out what I got so far! :)


Hmm... I'm not sure why it's sideways... but oh well!
