     Hello! First of all, I want to greet you guys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Let's take this opportunity to learn more!     Also, I'd like to apologize for the delay because I've been very very sick, and I only finished coloring this last night. I'm still very sick so my coloring might not be the best. For this assignment, we were given the task to draw a comic with a minimum of 5 panels. My comic was based on my friend's real life story where she sent a message at the wrong person. I twisted it and made it a tad bit more romantic and cute~      Here's the work!     Let me also introduce you to the characters; Pop, Rock, and EDM. Yes, I named them after music genres because I thought it was a fun idea to personify them into humans.      Pop, or Paprika, is the blonde girl that I used and drew in the cartoon entry. Rock, or Raquel, is the pink haired girl that is Pop's bff. EDM, or Evans, is Rock's brother and...

        Good day to you guys~ It's me again and I am terribly sorry for being a but late, I was running out of ideas. Plus, coloring these the way I do, it was time consuming indeed. So anyway, this week it's all about A N I M E! And me, I am a huge anime fan, I've watched it since I was a kid and it was part of my childhood and helped shaped me to be who I am today. Anime has a big impact to me and influenced both me and my art works. All though I haven't drawn anything anime related recently, this was a really fun activity since it was nostalgic and quite a trip from the past.     Without any further drama, let me show you my works for this week. It contains both anime and cartoon drawings for our subject, Drawing lecture and laboratory.          This is an original character, who I haven't named yet, but let's just name her Sei. Her style was inspired from Kakegurui's Jabami Yumeko, an iconic gambling queen, as her personali...

      Hello once again! For this week's Introduction to MMA subject's blog entry, it's a requirement poster for the contest, "Quaranthings" for our school. It has a generalized topic, which is quite broad for me so I actually had a tough time thinking of what to draw. This is also why I was a bit late in passing this week's blog but that's okay since in the end, I was able to improve anyways.     At first, I wanted to draw it digitally, but I realized it's gonna be harder on me since lately, I've been having back pain, and leaning on to my graphic tablet isn't gonna help me. Another reason was because Digitally making a poster with a lot of content is going to take a long time, so I changed my mind and did it Traditionally. This gives me more control, and I can still use my favorite Traditional media, the Prisma color premier colored pencils! Let me show you guys my progress~     Here is the digitalized version, where I first wanted to do my po...

    A pleasant day to everyone! It's me again, Nina, and here is our activity for this week under Introduction to MMA. It is a graphic design so I had the idea to make an Infographic about our course, Multimedia Arts. The goal was to try and encourage others to enroll under MMA.     An extra thing we have to keep in mind while making this was to make sure that we include the principles of multimedia design, hence the title. I decided to make this Infographic with the idea of the following principles:                      Less is More - I made sure to use only a few variables and imitate a digital drawing application. I made sure that the words are also concise to save space and not have it too crowded. Doing so will result in the Infographic to look more like a collage.                         Coherence Principle - To e...

      Hello everyone! Our midterms have finally finished~ I feel really happy and energized because I was one of the students that my teacher recognized! I also saw a lot of amazing artworks from my classmates and it both inspired me and made me want to work twice as hard!     For the first week in our finals, we were tasked to draw a cartoon character for our Drawing lec/lab subject. In this case, I have drawn a female human character, that I have nicknamed "Pop", derived from her real name, Paprika.      Here, is the first few sketches of how I originally wanted her to look. On the top left is her original design with the art style I wanted her to have. Below that is how I wanted her eye to look and gave her her signature three eyelashes, applying a variety of line sizes. Next to her original design, is her different expressions. I wanted to do that to show off her personality, which I wanted to portray as "bubbly", "nice", and "fun". Under tha...

      Hello guys! Another day of me posting about our drawings for our Drawing lec/lab subject! This is the last one for now because our midterms are coming up soon. Anyways, for this week's drawing, it's all about P E R S P E C T I V E !      Like always, I've drawn a variety of samples to get myself immersed in the topic of this week. I also experimented using different kinds of medium while doing different kinds of perspective drawings. Below is my first attempt of drawing perspectives for this week, and as usual, I decided to color it to make it appear more lively. I used Dong-A Oil Pastels on Vellum board, and it has been a while since I have touched my Oil Pastels. It was messy drawing with it but in the end, it was fun and the colors are very vibrant, as you can see. I also tried the scraping technique where you get an object to scratch out some details, this works well if you lay out a light color over the canvas and put a darker color over it....

 Good day to you guys! Here are my drawings for different Gesture Drawings, following the lessons I've learned from this week's class under Drawing lecture and laboratory. I saw that we had to do Gesture drawings, so I decided to do 10 non-detailed ones, both male and female, and 10 more gesture drawings but with detail.      I definitely enjoyed this because I learned to be flexible and be more comfortable with drawing postures that I never would have practiced beforehand. I also learned to observe people's poses more and the details I see when I draw, though I learned that way earlier already, sometimes I don't grasp the information I have enough and nor do I attempt to fix them so it can be more accurate. Fixing mistakes is always good, but here in this activity, I had the option to fix them or leave them there due to the instructions of Gesture Drawing - it's okay to be messy .     In the end, I was able to adjust. I did a few drawings with detail that ...
