Illustrator Drawing

Lately I've been familiarizing myself with Adobe Illustrator, even going online to watch tutorials; and I must say, it requires a load of work. With the time I spent doing this one seemingly simple illustration, I could have completed an entire digital painting on Photoshop.
Although I don't get quick results on Illustrator, I do love the crispness of the lines and the even symmetry (something not as easily attainable on Photoshop, that's one of the beauties of a vector-based program).
Anyway, here's a screenshot of my drawing that was, for the most part, made of simple shapes.

I chose this particular character because he is basically made of simple shapes and I thought he'd be easier to create on Illustrator without a template to trace over.

The Four Winds

So recently I had to do a series for my final project in my watercolor class. I decided to do the four winds according to Greek mythology. For each one, the filigree border forms into a compass arrow pointing in the direction each wind blows. The borders are inspired by Alphonse Mucha.


The first one, Zephyrus. The West wind associated with spring.


The second one I did, Boreas. The North wind. Winter.


The third, Notus. South. Summer and Fall.


The last, Eurus. East. No particular season.
As he is the odd-wind-out I made him the last piece in the series and made it so that he is the only wind looking out at the viewer.

New Bag Drawing

A recent one I did.

Social Justice Art Show

So here's my entry for an art show on campus where we had to address some social issue.


This is basically what I want to do in life-- create characters that people can relate to and care about. Perhaps if they care about the characters, they can care about others as well.

Old Pastry Bag

Aside from napkins, I will also draw on little pastry bags. Here's an old one I dug up.

This guy had really nice hair and I wanted to capture it.

Old Characters New Media

Two characters from my old series done in high school representing their respective nationalities. Experimentation, done as more tablet practice.

Just fiddling around with my tablet again.
