The Best of the Sketchbook

These are all of the sketches I put together to submit to the BFA program. Enjoy!

Fish Bowl Progress

So I thought it might be fun just to see a few of the steps it took to make this illustration. So here you go! Enjoy!

This first one is the original sketch I doodled on a spare piece of paper. It was probably during something important. Oops. Anywho, I doodled it with pen and thought it was pretty cool, so I later proceeded to the next step which was....

Redrawing it in pencil and making it more detailed and stuff! To do this, I scanned the original doodle, enlarged in in photoshop, lightened it, and printed it out a lot larger. Then I carefully penciled the stuff I actually wanted. Then...

 

I started coloring it! Partyyyyyy. This is where I pick the colors that I want to use and see how they work together. After that, I add the darks and the lights and the shading and whatnot. And you get what I posted yesterday. Yeaaaaaaah!

Well, I hope this was informative or something to somebody. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. I'd love to help you out :]

Braids

I'm now taking character commissions over on good 'ol deviantArt if you're interested. Check it out! 

Commission Info

This was done shortly after Sam Weber came to visit us at BYU. When he looked at my work, he said that I needed to draw people doing more than just standing there.

Thanks, Sam Weber. You're seriously super awesome.

Old Artworks Re-sketched

If you read my past blog post, you'll know that a few weeks ago I felt like I needed to do something artistic. I decided to re-sketch a bunch of old artwork. Here's most of them that I did. Keep in mind that I did these all under about 5 minutes each, so they obviously aren't perfect or anything. I was mainly focusing on structure and making the characters look more interesting and stylized.

That bunny still sucks really bad, haha.

I drew this old one based on somebody's webcomic a long time ago. I don't remember who's, but there ya go, haha.

This is the original sketch of the one I did a finished digital painting of. Just in case you guys wanted to see it :]

Also, would any of you guys like to see any of these finished up and colored? If so, let me now which one(s), and I might just do them. If you don't, I might just do some anyway for practice, haha.

Just Some Girl Sketches

From the sketchbook. Enjoy!

I'm trying to update this more, so here you go! I'll probably be coloring some of these sketches soon to practice. Enjoy!

P.S. I just realized how many derpy faces were in the last post, haha

Sketch Dump

So I accidentally haven't posted anything for a while.  I plan on fixing that. So I'm taking a bunch of cool classes this semester. One class that I don't particularly enjoy is Art History. I like the subject kinda, but my teacher bores me half to death and it goes on for ever and ever. And it's only an hour and a half. But it feels like ten years each time. Anywho, most of these sketches are from class class. I promise I pay attention, too. Kinda. 

I have more cool things I'm going to be posting later, so keep an eye out for them!

Also, I got a twitter account! Follow me at DawAlyssa if you wanna! 

July Doodles!

Yup. I draw too many heads.
