(2017) Multicolored Girl

Watercolor is definitely not my strong suit, but I feel like this one turned out pretty well! 

(2017) Cross Hatching for 2D Design

Got some more school stuff!  This project killed all my micron pens. :/

(2017) MD_Shoulders Girl

She happy.

Like these weird square doodles?  Here's more of them: X

(2017) SB 9_Relief Society Doodle

Here's a little doodle from one of my older sketchbooks.  There is no rhyme or reason to the chronology of the sketchbooks.  

(2016) Punzie (Tangled)

She's my favorite. :)

(2016) SB 11_Disney Dinoland Costume
This is a doodle I did of my Walt Disney World costume.  I worked there for about 4 months as part of an internship called the Disney College Program.  That experience resulted in tons of crazy anecdotes, but the costume was one of the best.
Also, Animal Kingdom was A DREAM and I will love it forever.

(2016) SB 11_Newt (Fantastic Beasts)

Newt, though!

(2016) Dylan for Drawing I
This piece is from the summer after my best friend dropped me like a sack of rocks and stopped speaking to me altogether.  It was still hurting, and everyone in my college art classes was always talking about how they used their art to express themselves. I had A LOT I wanted to express.  I felt like I couldn't talk about it with anyone; some of my friends didn't seem to care, while others almost seemed to agree with my friend's actions.  I didn't care for that AT ALL, so I finally put all my anger/sadness/hurt down on paper.
When we presented our projects in class, I was so terrified of what everyone would think of my work.  It felt like putting my heart up on display, which made me feel horribly vulnerable.  But at the same time, that's what I wanted.  I just wanted someone to understand how upset I was.  My professor said the journal entries in the background first gave him the impression of a lovesick teenager, but by the time he read it all, he understood how real the pain was.  Little bit of a mixed critique, but I took it.
It's not my favorite piece because it still holds a lot of emotions that I'd rather not look at too closely, but it did help to get them all out and to have people look at them.  Sometimes I think I just need people to see me, to recognize and validate my emotions.  I'm not always that great at talking about my feelings, so this was a good alternative.

(2016) Quinn (Glee)

And here's another one tonight because I feel like it. I'm a little bit obsessed with Quinn.  Even though she's also the worst. Maybe because she's the worst?  Hmm. 

(2016) SB 11_Happy, Squinty Boy

Hey!!  I'm back!  Sorry for the long hiatus there.  I just got back from an art history study abroad. It was incredible and life changing and I miss it already.  I'm not yet sure how the trip will affect my art; mostly I want to plaster gold leaf on everything.  We'll see how that plays out.
