Holiday Movie Guide

I made this last semester and never thought to post it until now.  This was an editorial based assignment.  I had so much fun drawing the little fox and bear families!  Probably because I love all animals in the whole world... there are just a couple that I would not want to touch (.... slugs). My favorite is the bear in the middle with the polka dot scarf, he's just so cozy!  I know there's some problems with the colors and balance (I've been through a critique with this one already), but I never went back to fix it, the problems never bothered me enough.  If this was for a real job or something, obviously I would have gone back in.   But it wasn't so I didn't.  Being an overworked student will do that to you.  It's so nice to have a relaxed schedule this semester!

Now, if you'll excuse me I am off to watch some Arrested Development for the 5th time.  I'm not kidding, all seasons.. 5 times (not in a row).  I just love it so much.  F A M I L Y L O V E M I C H A E L.  I hope your weekend is wonderful!  

Winter Mural

Not actually a mural.. just the project!  It was the first one of this semester and I didn't like it for awhile, but I keep going back to look at it and it's not so bad.  I like the colors I chose... wintry but not dull.  I guess it (the illustration as a whole) throws me off because it's so far removed from the way I usually go about my images.  I think it looks like a coloring book page!  I was kind of going for that though... we were asked to create a mural depicting an American scene for a school in Africa to maybe use on their walls. I made it simple so it would read easier and also be easier for someone to paint who hadn't drawn it themselves.

Can you tell I got inspiration from Cleveland? :)
