just wanted to share some pictures from the wonderful event. big thanks to Tina, Chibar, and Damara for all your help!
guess what? this coming thursday, finn comics will be on exhibition at the 1st Thursdays event of the Orlando Museum of Art! i am extremely stoked about it! it’s my first time being on display at something this prestigious and reputable. check out the flyer below and the official site for more info, here. they actually had me come in last week to the board associate’s meeting and had me talk for a few minutes on what finn comics was all about any my process/technique! to me, all very exciting and hopefully a sign of the future. for those of you around Orlando, stop by this thursday night for the event!
1st watercoloring attempt!
dr. sketchy in august
so, i had my second experience of Dr. Sketchy last night at Tatame Sake Lounge. despite showing up an hour and a half early (misinformation from their website!), i got myself a great seat and wait till start time. tonight’s subject was dressed in Arabian attire (i think) and adorned with tons of jewelry and decorations. as like last time, it starts off with 30 second and 1 minute sketches, as shown below.
then we moved on to some 2 minute sketches, which significantly helped calm the nerves! oh yeah, i was using Copic sketch Special Black 110.
next, we did some 5 minutes sketches, and i decided to try something new with the Copic multi-liner 0.03. the attempt here was to get some seriously thin lines with one long stroke (no double-backing!).
not sure if all Dr. Sketchy’s do this, but then we had a competition where we still sketch the girl, but we have to incorporate something weird from the audience. tonight the random topic was snake. the winner is chosen by the model and won a Avatar, the last airbender animation book. pretty cool prize, alas, i was blown away by the other people. quite a humbling experience.
lastly, we ended the night with some 15 minutes sketches. at this point, i started getting pretty frustrated my drawing weren’t unique enough. it didn’t have enough style. i felt like a lot of the other artists were incorporating their styles and not just drawing what they saw. so, here are some finn styles!
thanks for listening and hope you enjoy the sketches!
San Diego Comic Con 2010
how remiss of me! i attended San Diego Comic Con 2010 for the first time ever this year! i thought i was prepared pretty well for it all, and even printed out my own schedule of events but alas, nothing could prepare for ALL of it! suffice to say, i had a blast meeting some of my favorite artists, such as Dustin Nguyen, Francis Manapul, Terry Dodson, J. Scott Campbell, and Humberto Ramos. i’m also very happy to report they were all the nicest people, sharing tips and sketches with me! below are some pics, enjoy!
also, sat in some of the panels, including the tv show Community panel. got the change to meet the lead character, played by Joel McHale!
