<br />A short little pine cone study--hoping it will somehow make me better at scales and feathers on wings.

<br />Again trying to get used to trees (Because trees just kill me) I did a black and white study this time, I'll put color in later. Spent only about an hour and it was killer. Trees, youknow--you think you're finished and then you realize there's so much more that needs to be done.

I have been doing my studies, but work and etc caught up with me. Now that I'm in between jobs, I'll have time to post again.<br /><br />So here's Sanborn Park here in Saratoga. We went camping last weekend, and I went up a little bit early to catch the light at the twilight hour (ok, maybe it was late) anyways, I have a real problem drawing trees, and since I want to get a lot better at that: trees.<br /><br />Also, I'm using photoshop for this one (I usaully use painter) and I want to try and get as good at photoshop as I do at painter...and it's almost the same but just...I just miss my easy to reach brushes. (although I do like how it feels a lot more simple on photoshop than painter, because I can't go all brushes crazy ((although hypothetically I still can, it's just more work)))<br /><br />A short study--about 2 hours, 40 minutesRachel Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03106177179797716490noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132453733801546209.post-11250219785482821612011-06-09T23:23:00.000-07:002011-06-09T23:24:40.444-07:00apple #5<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVdR0WWB8TEgkxw9l2Ur_gqjYn9iKCWgxiheyVxUadupZMVlGpCWZU-LczQgqHVgC-XCqzBGK0fHXTF80ligyO6ykb9P6tcEvhs-5paccD9sr87SjR61USsr8WzoluM-Gy2Pjxma-LOw/s1600/applesad.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVdR0WWB8TEgkxw9l2Ur_gqjYn9iKCWgxiheyVxUadupZMVlGpCWZU-LczQgqHVgC-XCqzBGK0fHXTF80ligyO6ykb9P6tcEvhs-5paccD9sr87SjR61USsr8WzoluM-Gy2Pjxma-LOw/s400/applesad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616473125137029218" border="0" /></a>kinda felt ill today...still drew an apple, though. ... another quick study...Rachel Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03106177179797716490noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132453733801546209.post-479034202976247952011-06-09T14:53:00.001-07:002011-06-09T14:54:11.616-07:00apple study 4<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzG-rbtMqsbIJrmc4xVZDFW9dI_PgYZ4XMJWn1n-mKW0QZw_01teDVUhSATbW8Cf15_T4QPkn36rx9r6ImeLP2LD6jA5VCOm3PqkExvAIJbkL_Uz0VA0c5XG9fStLc-jKKFA5O28Zgcg4/s1600/apple1a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzG-rbtMqsbIJrmc4xVZDFW9dI_PgYZ4XMJWn1n-mKW0QZw_01teDVUhSATbW8Cf15_T4QPkn36rx9r6ImeLP2LD6jA5VCOm3PqkExvAIJbkL_Uz0VA0c5XG9fStLc-jKKFA5O28Zgcg4/s400/apple1a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616341599467754370" border="0" /></a><br />finally found some apples.

I'm thinking of heading back to school, which means I have to start padding my portfolio with studies and etc as I prepare (not to mention I have to take that GRE and I haven't done math in a while. Shoot.) So that means my art blog is back! and here's some clouds from my sketchbook that I sketched on the plane. I know it says 100 clouds, but I got distracted halfway through and started drawing furries.</div>Rachel Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03106177179797716490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132453733801546209.post-74654274726943488732010-10-13T18:16:00.000-07:002010-10-13T18:17:50.479-07:00Blog OverhaulSo basically I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning to this blog, to make it more of a professional one. Yes, I have my portfolio to be professional, but basically it's just a hop skip and google search away to this one. So, from here on out you can find my weird posts over at 3 AM octopus, because I'm going to only do art related stuff on this blog now.<br /><br />Seriously this time, too.

She was so wonderful to refer me to her boss and get me a month to display my work! Hurrah! My first gallery show in California! And it's connected to the San Jose Art walk, that is done down first street (and if you know First Street you know what I mean, it's a super hippie/artsy street, I love it.)<br /><br /><br /><br />In fact, its my first gallery show where I have to fill the entire space with just myself (uhhh) by a week before November (double uhhh) and while I know I can do it, I just went from doing nothing, to doing EVERYTHING (especially when I want to finish a book for a client by the end of this month ((Triple uhhhhhhh). It's great. I actually enjoy having a busy life.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anyways, here's a recent commission I did for Shruti of Cesc Fabregas, who plays soccer.<br />It will be on a yellow shirt. (I watched about 40 minutes of slow-mo soccer kicks to find this pose. Most of the ones online are groin kicks or backflip-kicks, both of which Shruti thought weren't exactly real to the game of soccer, although I secretly wanted them to be.)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRv8VMc5Bvt6Unq2_bbO1wo5RoIgD9opAY6ReWEf2ASOihTMo4ukqOKmhYVYo881Yzt1C1-3T3Y3zdYsQqcOgAmFdpWvmLEmkcJVWO1gwk-sUsiPeiJ36DcCCiQXpLRQYvKthDBoCafk/s1600/justyellow.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 379px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502034681225075490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRv8VMc5Bvt6Unq2_bbO1wo5RoIgD9opAY6ReWEf2ASOihTMo4ukqOKmhYVYo881Yzt1C1-3T3Y3zdYsQqcOgAmFdpWvmLEmkcJVWO1gwk-sUsiPeiJ36DcCCiQXpLRQYvKthDBoCafk/s400/justyellow.jpg" /></a><br /><br />However, depending on whether or not she'll be printing white and black, it could also look like this.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGNcJwTBnG2OzdyxxJ2QolswJDlXTALT1zpKdE8LygfAdCvyCq29LGHsJIrZcF245irnrmF0aUWKTNfwZofPNjnMHyO3hVmiJfiOeNQymWbEwUTqLjyqOiNLnxpFhIz0X_lVlUmmypPsQ/s1600/withwhite.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 379px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502035160118133090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGNcJwTBnG2OzdyxxJ2QolswJDlXTALT1zpKdE8LygfAdCvyCq29LGHsJIrZcF245irnrmF0aUWKTNfwZofPNjnMHyO3hVmiJfiOeNQymWbEwUTqLjyqOiNLnxpFhIz0X_lVlUmmypPsQ/s400/withwhite.jpg" /></a> I think both are cool.

It looks like a funky pancake like I dunno.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo38omCQPVJo7YFIJ-S3X_B_pQ6XF4uNsCT9ijzN0iyirolxCIYjpje678hT3_KlIOmWwhN6PLn1PRRDTiSpMbDxTP7YL-K9Ox8xl5P6XhZMFSH6saVW862kXJbbLPITCgdDJrQmGKD5w/s1600/thenextdayrachel.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 394px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498340278678623154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo38omCQPVJo7YFIJ-S3X_B_pQ6XF4uNsCT9ijzN0iyirolxCIYjpje678hT3_KlIOmWwhN6PLn1PRRDTiSpMbDxTP7YL-K9Ox8xl5P6XhZMFSH6saVW862kXJbbLPITCgdDJrQmGKD5w/s400/thenextdayrachel.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And then the very next day I do something better in 1/4 of the time.

It felt like this:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8F1gk8Qda68KzlnENqmH58QZvy16NG71CupMqVmXm6UpJCGmECayBbhI_gzcxA_YOH9HDJkVEYfZoqNRNinjtSi1T-G5v1-KMriYOO-sNpDzbiN_c-Lf84hBN4IoNMClaFpyDthiwJY/s1600/misty.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 142px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491279535177624242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8F1gk8Qda68KzlnENqmH58QZvy16NG71CupMqVmXm6UpJCGmECayBbhI_gzcxA_YOH9HDJkVEYfZoqNRNinjtSi1T-G5v1-KMriYOO-sNpDzbiN_c-Lf84hBN4IoNMClaFpyDthiwJY/s400/misty.jpg" /></a><br />And while I can draw in front of people, there were other things I could not do. Like, if I made up songs I wouldn't play them. If I made art I'd show it, but I'd usaully purposefully stick in a lot of photo-realistic representational stuff amidst my cartoons.<br /><br />I remember going to a children's book conference just a year ago, showing my stuff and almost passing out because I knew there were only 5 other illustrators there so mine was sticking out like a freaken sore thumb... that and I hadn't slept the night before but thats just insomnia.<br /><br />But now I just don't <em>care</em> anymore. At <em>all</em>. Now I do comic books of cats and stuff and I just don't care. I paint what I like and send it off saying "Here's my annoying portfolio. Sucks to be you because now you have to look at it!" Without worrying if they'll rip it in half like I did in college.<br /><br />I play my weird jazzy stuff on the piano as I have fun with a-tonal chords and composition and it probably sounds awful. Its great, I've been freed from sone inner fear, and I don't really know........when that happened.<br /><br />But yesterday I noticed it. I mean, even back in College I never made up stuff around the roomies unless they asked and that I think only happened once or twice.<br /><br />But now, only 1 year later, I have a style, I shop and I don't think "uh...is this--what is this?" like I used to think as I shopped for clothes--i just don't care and I buy it--which doesn't sound all that impressive because girls <em>generally</em> do that shopping sort of thing, but I'm really picky and so I usaully only buy clothes 3-4 times a year.<br /><br />Yet now, although I'm still picky, I'm actually finding stuff. Of course, this could be because I moved to California and I just like the style here better than Utah...I dunno.<br /><br />So, because I no longer care, lets talk about cats.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuyraNM1sP94K5-XH3i3LuY8HFO0XM2xGLZwxdS1neKtKunlQH8Pan88JkyQM3hZJlOrLANLkidMRcvk07VV5uBhbkgxQ6wmhGGUADj45ZKaL20sIwF-K5cx119DKU1XSOFtZKbz5Gddg/s1600/cats.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 310px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491279541218587330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuyraNM1sP94K5-XH3i3LuY8HFO0XM2xGLZwxdS1neKtKunlQH8Pan88JkyQM3hZJlOrLANLkidMRcvk07VV5uBhbkgxQ6wmhGGUADj45ZKaL20sIwF-K5cx119DKU1XSOFtZKbz5Gddg/s400/cats.jpg" /></a> I'm still working on my neices comic, about a stray cat with only one ear lost in a world of magical evil dragons and cats (seemed like a good nemises of eachother) and I want to get it to the third chapter by her birthday (24th, Pioneer Day.) I've gotten intrigued with the weird and sort of creepy story, so I'm officially going to make it better than it has been--I'm going to do a second draft!<br /></p><p>but here's some clips of things to come. No, it will not be pencil-tastic like it is right now.<br /><br />I've been building this paralell world for it, one that has no sky, and characters that don't live on Earth but like to copy Earth. So the characters that go between Earth and this other place get some culture shock that is unsettling (the name of the other place is still undecided, it has to match their language, which is still up in the air) . </p><p>Making cats look like Egyptian Gods while still dressing them in modern clothes is also a fun thing. Except for the Himalayans who are obese nudists. Because every comic book needs nudity. <br /><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e6vuUgR9HcFvXbBEZsWKxMluzbRTOEQrp4MYZ6wpS_D20lohj1tU6i_dw1_qtJ9_08iPQnqvfEBgngtmrwwyWxqVEBispRET2-PEwJ_1vFiWqkT9qb74b2FJ-L4x9REt-dNWsmcumY4/s1600/small3final.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491283935032295842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e6vuUgR9HcFvXbBEZsWKxMluzbRTOEQrp4MYZ6wpS_D20lohj1tU6i_dw1_qtJ9_08iPQnqvfEBgngtmrwwyWxqVEBispRET2-PEwJ_1vFiWqkT9qb74b2FJ-L4x9REt-dNWsmcumY4/s400/small3final.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhyOhR5KVfF5w1RUV3b3v7X53ypcNnR4apvX2dsGBYDqaxn3Ggo6stVvuA0hrDdx8qam-bKURfhhYBRy510frJBX2E2HTtOxWeMH41v9EAafcA8yIpsKcnYT4i-IjYSO-61eKk_kNHko/s1600/ahzilasky.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491279547091354866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhyOhR5KVfF5w1RUV3b3v7X53ypcNnR4apvX2dsGBYDqaxn3Ggo6stVvuA0hrDdx8qam-bKURfhhYBRy510frJBX2E2HTtOxWeMH41v9EAafcA8yIpsKcnYT4i-IjYSO-61eKk_kNHko/s400/ahzilasky.jpg" /></a><br />Whats odd is that only 30 minutes a day got me 30 pages by now.
