week 12 day 2

Oops forgot to post last night

week 12 day 1

an attempt is being made

MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION

I'm not a graphic designer but I did my best

I made a playlist to ride out the end of the world. I know this isn't normal for the blog but nothing is normal anymore so what the heck. I've actually had this playlist for a couple years but considering everything that's happening lately I thought I'd share it with anyone also interested in leaning into the apocalypse because sometimes you just need a bunch of ominous techno to get you through it all. You can listen below on either service or reach out to me if you're interested in the original files since I couldn't find all songs on either platform.

week 11 day 5

And some other drawings that I didn't post on their days

week 11 day 3

I heard Moroni lost his horn

week 11 day 1

The other day at work one of my coworkers told me that while he's waiting for various processes to run (when you can't really work on whatever you're doing because the computer has to think) he tries to sketch. For some reason that thought has never crossed my mind as a thing I could do- opting instead to check my phone or read articles about coronavirus or whatever. Today I tried to sketch instead and I was very pleased with the results! I feel like I can finally find a little time to work on TLOSN after all

also it was raining really hard on my way home and now my sketchbook is a bit waterlogged in the corners

week 10 day 7

Here's a drawing of my professor who is retiring this year

week 10 day 6

We are continuing our no reference week of not using any references and here's my attempt at Russell m Nelson

week 10 day 5

Coronavirus for you

week 10 day 3

week 10 day 2

week 10 day 1

Mostly I feel vaguely stifled by my own self, that I have all these projects I want to do but I don't even know where to start but sometimes I think that allowing myself to take it slow and to meditate on what I want to do isn't a bad idea

week 9 day 7

ok I finished this zbrush sculpt ("finished" meaning I'm done working on it and my trial is about the expire so I don't want to keep working on it also bc I'm tired of trying to figure out how to sculpt curly hair and am Really Not Feeling It)

week 9 day 6

When I turned 12 papa said little woman better get yourself a wife / cuz you're too mean for a man so clean up your life

week 9 day 5

Notes from studio meeting and second half of insta post

week 9 day 4

Oops didn't post yesterday but here's something for today that I will post on Instagram tomorrow as a shameless plug to go see a movie I worked on

week 9 day 2

ok here is an instagram post that encapsulates today (actual drawings are the final pic)

After three years I finally finished this sketchbook! The original idea was to complete it all while I was in Jerusalem but I think I only made it about 50% through while I was there. I've been carrying it around in my purse ever since. This feels like a big accomplishment but I think it's a sign I need to be drawing more! Here's to finishing the next sketchbook in two years. #art #sketchbook #sketch #drawing #sketching #draw #drawfromlife #lifedrawing #artistsoninstagram #instaart #animationart #sketches #characters #characterart #jerusalem #byujc
