BFA

So just to let everyone know, my BFA show is officially scheduled from May 17th-30th. I don't have a ton of time, and I didn't get the space I exactly wanted. But I now have something I can put down on a calendar! It is very exciting! I am going to add new ideas and progress on my BFA blog soon so make sure to check that out every now and then. (New stuff will be around 8pm tonight after I am done with work and get back from my *hour long bus ride)

Have a wonderful day!

Karen

*Note To Self: get a car soon.

close up of color script...

Call me silly but the post that had this same image went to the 8th, and I am trying to be a good blogger so I would like all to know that I made this today and am still alive.

have a happy day

P.S. It should let you know that I didn't "draw" these images, however they were given to me as value/ thumbs and I painted them up to create a mood. So thank my storyboard group for the fun ideas- oh but I can take the video tape idea.

fun find...

I saw this online and thought it to be so clever and cute.

I am a chracter designer for a film...

Not sure how many of you know but I am a character designer for a BYU animated short called, Estefan. Here are some of the designs. They are pretty different to what you are used to seeing me doing, but I think they are pretty fun. The top is a color script I just finished, the next below are some of the stylists we are thinking of, and the the sketches of the bald lady... well those are ideas of diffrent "hair styles" Estefan could give her. Enjoy

going digital...

So does it look traditional? I painted this up in Photoshop just now, going for a look that feels like didn't paint up on the computer. I even drew it on my tablet to see if I could get the same "ink" quality...I think it was a successful exercise. Have a happy day!

BFA blog and character design for BFA...

I had some free time today so I whipped this up in Photoshop; I love seeing that I am getting better! Anyway, this is what I am planning on my main character to look like for my BFA show, which the plan is late May. Fingers crossed. If you want to see the in-depth progressing of my BFA show, I am making a blog about it right now. It is still very much in the early works, but I will start to add things there that I don't here. (FYI my BFA (Bachelors of Fine Arts) show for those that don't know, is the final show that I will have so I can graduate with a BFA and be able to make a strong portfolio. As well show people that tend to wonder about art as a career yes I am doing something with my life, and hey, I am pretty good too)
Have a happy day.

Some pieces I am really excited about to start...

Here are some thumb/ value studies that I am super excited to start on! They are going to be apart of my BFA show. When that show is I will let you know for sure.
