Coffee Cup Girl

Here is the "Coffee Cup Girl" so far...

...since it is only scanned it only looks ok. It would look 10x better when assembled all together.

(P.S. I made the dpi high so you could see the detail.)

Have a happy day!

As luck would have it

So as luck would have it I can't find my watercolor set for the life of me; or my favorite brushes! They have gone missing since my trip to Bear Lake. Oh well...I have a plan B.



Do you remember this comp?

I inked the main girl today (not shown-yet) and got her clothes done (above). The examples look poor, because my tools are poor. I am selling art at an auction this Thursday -in Provo if you are in the area- so I hope to earn money for at least a camera ($600-ish) and scanner ($3000-ish.) Maybe I will earn the camera? Scanner is in the far future, but the camera will help me produce quality photos so I can get some jobs which will help me pay for that.

Well, that is the plan :)


I want the lighting on the main girl to have this look (above.)

sneak peak

This is a color comp for an editorial for a woman's magazine. I am calling it One Coffee Cup. (it is my own assignment- I am building a editorial portfolio with my paper dolls.)

I came up with the idea the other day-- but I just heard a song just now (while working on it) that really inspired me to make it by Brendan James- The Fall.

The song reminds me so much of when I went to NY/GA last year and met-up with the guy I was dating long distance, after my trip was over we planed to see each other again in September. We aren't together anymore, but luckily we are still really good friends.

For me this illustration is of that waiting period of not knowing what will happen or if what you are doing is right.

I may need to re-draw the main girl, she feels too stiff... the sketch shouldn't look better than the final...
I love her hair...
These are some of the fabrics...

Have a happy day!
