If I knew that you were coming, I'd have baked a cake!
How does one explain the enigma that is CalArts? It's everything I've dreamed of and so much more. To think that I'll only be here for three or four years... Let's just say I try not to think about that. It's already been about two months. Time here has its own rules. You'd think that you only had time for this and that in a day, but I've come to learn very quickly that you can easily do these, those, and that thing over there, too. But even when you've squeezed everything into your schedule and made so much out of little time, it flies that much faster in some sort of sick, twisted irony.
People of great minds reside here. Talent is seething and bubbling out of every crevice. Constantly, artists of every school are shining with their brightest peacock feathers, putting on shows, exhibits, performances... and films!
For now, I'm but a fledgling. Here are some of the things I've done so far.

Character Design:
Inspired by Neuromancer's Molly and one of the super computers! Such a crazy read.

For Halloween, we were put to follow Tim Burton's style. Fun!
The assignment: draw someone young with someone old. I couldn't help but succumb to the idea of an adorable witch grandma!

...And some updates to Anise and Ricotta!
Oh, no, I'm not finished yet! I've got some animation and special drawings to show really soon! Stay tuned <3

I'm BACK! A Non-Dinosaur Story
Well hello my wonderful (two or three) readers! I am back on blogspot to share more of my life and doodles! So what has happened to me in a year?? A-heckuva-lot--BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY:
I have been admitted into CALARTS CHARACTER ANIMATION FOR FALL OF 2010
YEEESSSSSS.
So I will be blogging about my exciting adventures there for the next four years!
It comes to no surprise that there have been many connections made on Facebook since everyone's acceptance letters came in. I even sent my acceptance story over to CalArts Admissions, and they posted it! The excitement is so saturated, it feels like as soon as school starts it's already a schoolwide party. I feel so privileged to have been accepted into such a prestigious art school, and I'm sure everyone else feels likewise. Already there have been plans for LA excursions, coffee shop visits, and group Ikea dorm shopping!
The future is bright, and summer time has been moving so sluggishly simply because I'm waiting for it to END! But I must bask in this beautiful SoCal weather while it's summer, and enjoy all the opportunities summer present! So I've been trying to keep up with life drawing practice before I move up in September. To my delight, I've found that Perspective life drawing sessions are also back in full force in Hillcrest!!
Here is Eliza, a gorgeous multi-talented performing artist.
(Poses from 1-3 minutes, then 10, then 20-30)

May 19, 2009: More life drawings!
I was carousing through the deviantART forums ( D: gasp!) and to my delighted surprise, someone was trying to set up a San Diego meet! I saw that it was in the Golden Hill area, which is what I've been hearing is the new hipster place to go, lolz. But I do not judge! So I read on. He posted the address and a Myspace for a program called Perspective, where artists get together at an old renovated church to draw and have some fun! By the time I've scanned through the whole Myspace, I'm very excited. It's an opportunity for the local artist community to get to know each other, and be friends and stuff! How cool is that!?
I barely made it on time on the 17th, stumbling through the old church door with Ricky by my side. I meet the man in charge, named Geoffrey (sp? pronounced "joffree"). Music is playing through the echo-y venue, and there's a lady sitting on a couch on the stage named Mindy in a trench coat, fishnet stockings, and knee-high boots. I look around at all the artwork that's hung up, chat with Ricky (basically "omg this is f*ing cool"), and nervously give Geoffrey my $5 for the figure drawing session. Really friendly guy.
Ricky leaves once the posing has begun.
I met a nice lot of people, and they all seem to be within 5 years of my age, save for one or two who are older.
Needless to say, I will be heading over to Golden Hill every sunday evening :3

Mi abuela Uva's birthday party!
It gets pretty darn loud at family parties. Well, it's more like a pachanga than anything.
My grandma especially loves the typical mariachi and rancheras, so it was this kind of music set at ear-splittingly loud. Everyone's sitting outside at tables snacking on chips and (VERY) spicy salsa, and trying to talk into one-another's ears. Makeshift sign language makes it into the mix. Some people dance, a lot of people are just relieved the heat has taken a break for the night and are just relaxing with a few beers (somehow finding peace amongst the ruckus of it all).
So with the struggle for oral communication getting the best of me, I do the next best thing and start drawing. I had some really great opportunities to sketch family members.

Update May 13 2009!
Yay for new batch!
Person in my life drawing class making a funny pose.
My raccoon and bat people have names now! The raccoon is Anise...
And the bat is Daal! ^___^ Yaaaaaaaayyy~
My fluffpup Teddy :3 He's sleepin' in his doghouse on a warm day.
My sister got stung by a bee for the fourth time! Her hand swelled up like mad crazy o_o So naturally, I HAD to draw it. xD
Turns out every time you get stung, the reaction to the sting gets worse.
My sis lazing around. God, she's so myspace. :P
So this is someone new. He's a baby male chick who's escaped what would have been an ill fate, experienced by many of his kind. For reals. My friends liked the word REFUGEE and unanimously agreed that be the name for him, and I'm kinda warming up to that idea :)
Woo! I shared my new crayons with my classmate Katie (sp?) and we got to lotsa chatting :D
She imagines herself as a wolfy raccoon, and requested I draw a quick sketch of her as a wolf!
Some more refined designs, and I thought the name Kombu would be fitting!
So there you have it! Tune in next time! I will most likely be uploading part of my official portfolio, for which I will create another blog ^^
Bye bye! <3

Life Drawings
Some life drawings I really liked, so I'm posting them!
All of these, with the exception of this drawing (18" x 24"), were done in my 8 1/2" x 11" sketch. We were doing hand studies and I wanted to experiment with pastels. Got your fingerrr!
This is one of my favorites. I usually don't use such few lines to lay down a gesture, but this one just kinda.... came out!
One-minute head gestures.
From here on out it's all one-minute's, save for the last one. (Digitally enhanced to show lines.)
A shaded/hatched contour with an ink pen. Took about 30-35 min. I was really taking my time on this one!
