inside my sketchbook and more

So i have been very busy with school, but my goal this semester is t make time to keep up with my sketching, so far i have only missed a few days.  So here we have some more girls, i was attempting to improve hands, i LOVE Audrey Kawasaki's work so i started there, i will draw more realistic hands later i think, i would like to incorporate more hands into my drawings...we will see what comes of that....on another note, super excited because we have a yArt sale in the works for next month, hopefully school will allow me to take a weekend off...oh and also i got some chalk pastels, so i started using them more, i gotta say im loving them!i hope to have some for the yArt sale, although im pretty new to them i think they give drawings a different life.

more studies...little times

so...i have not been keeping up very well, but i have used every extra minute i have to keep sketching, it is pretty hard with all the school work i have already...well here they are

My etsy store is up and running, a little slow but it's moving. I have a few stuff I had shown here before...my hope is to soon have some new work and also with a different medium...which is what I have been working on.

figures, faces, f.u.n

today was the first day of school, but it got canceled because president Obama is going to be at the  campus today, so i took advantage of this extra day to sketch, and experiment with some new mediums.

my first gouache experiment

 more loose sketches with oil pastels.

 Larger figure studies.

face studies

here are a few more face studies, and also i was trying out this new pen i got (color brush) to make more gestural drawings...

 New sketchbooks ^_^ and new pens to try out...the best part is that they were free

new sketchbook

 So i got a new sketchbook as a birthday present from my brother (thank you nandolaco!), so i started using it in my winter break. it has almost been a month, and i have used about half of it. here are some of the sketches i have. enjoy...

 one of the sketches I did while I was in Guadalajara.

 A sketch done in the plane, i ate so many tortas :)....i was already missing them

 Most of these are just experimenting with faces and expressions, it is something I have been wanting to improve, and I think they are only helping me so Im very happy

the right hand is one of my fave hands i have done :) that is my next project i guess :)

2011

This new year has been very strange, but I'm still very excited of what is coming...I have been working really hard on my new sketchbook, and I'm hoping this will help me get inspired to paint...
Overall I had a great break! I went to Mexico and saw my bff :) also i got some of the coolest rings i own...and had an awesome time with Adrian :) 
I hope to soon post some of the sketches I have done, I have been looking at some inspiring artist that blew me away with their talent.
here we go...bring it on 2011
