Under the sea with the Manatee

Another redo from my junior year of college. I do like the water color but I did it on cheap paper so the results are not u to my standards. This is on my official portfolio website too! 

Another redo

I updated this piece again. I love the line work and the drawing but the color was bugging me. I did it to my bright color schemes that I use.

The one on the right was way too dark 

People Watching

When over my boyfriend's friend house. While everyone was doing there thing,I was drawing them in the distance. I could of did a full figure if they would of stop moving but oh well. I got something than nothing. 

I really like the style I did for this piece,I may continue drawing in this way.

Twitter avatar

I was on Twitter and almost all the people with an art background had their art style in an avatar.  Some people have actual photo of themselves as their icon. Today, I drew some people.

Wednesday Night Shananagans

Going over a friend's house slowly turned into a little get together.More and more people magically appeared. I didn't get to draw everyone because people tend to move much more when intoxicated. I did a quick sketch as possible. The coloring is just as shift,just enough to get the point across. 

The guy in the bottom right was not so thrilled on me drawing him. hehe, oh well. 

The most awkward handshake

I went to this get together,meet some new people. Said my hellos to everyone that was present. There was one guy that stood out:

Come on! Who the hell says "what a pleasure to meet you" at a get together. This is not a chick flick movie.

Well well well...

I been in a weird love-hate relation with this piece. When I started it was very plain and not that interesting so I played with color. Color Theory came useful again. 

ugh,so boringgggg.

niccceeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Food talk

This piece is a taste on what will be on my zine. I will have a black and white and a full color zine.  It will have every topic of food possible. Today it will be about bunnies. 

Cravings

I have a huge sweet tooth which i  controlled over the last three years. Sugar was a strong desire,like an addicted fiend to some drug. I used my bears again from my senior thesis,they actually grew on me. Eventually I will give them names and a character design. For now,enjoy this silly piece. It makes me want to do a wiggly dance.

I want  a donut now  ;___;

Inspiration

I was on Netflix one night and I began to watch a surfing documentry called Into the Wave. I was inspired by the colors of the ocean,the surf boards and the people. A simple sketch turned into a T shirt design mock up.

I updated my website check it out please and thank you! http://www.lovedbykathleen.com/

Marimo

During college, my roommate told me about marimos. They are round moss balls that are kept for decorations. They also bring good luck to your home. Apparently, in Chinatown at NYC sells thems but for a crazy price. I always thought about buying them when I used to live close to New York but never did. 

Marimo come in various sizes, these ones are medium. 

I recently remembered about those marimo balls and I still want one.

back from the grave!

Hellllllllo everyone

 My laptop died at the middle of May. I was helpless and so sad. I moved to California and bought a monitor however the computer I had broke on the process on first class.(Delta open my computer from the inside without a note of inspection and broke many expensive parts) No fear because I bought all the parts and I am now waiting for thermal paste. For the time being I am using my boyfriend computer.

By the way,I did upload some doodles in my tumblr from my phone. So if some stuff isn't on my blogspot it can be there. 

I used sumi ink and colored it on photoshop!

My dad tells me lots of tall tales and I figured if I asked how were clouds made this would be him describing it in full detail. 

Bayside gigposter

I finished the gig poster faster than I expected. Originally the colors were purple but it was so dark you were unable to make out the image from the distance. I am known for my bright color scheme and I applied it to the band. I am happy with the results. 

Gig poster color sketch

I am really behind my on my poster skills. Hopefully after this self project I will not be as lame. I did my posters based on Bayside's acoustic album.Each poster is themed on one of the songs. They reallllly get down on that album.

Winter

That green stuff in the background is my lame lazy excuse for distant trees. 

Megan or Montauk

Glaring Eyes

If you try to hook up with a chick in an indian wedding, beware This uncle is watching your every move. He will disapprove of you. 

 

yum yum!

I call this the american dream: huge pickle,top bun, BBQ sause,onion rings,cheese,double meat, more cheese and bottom bun.

I am hungry now :'(

Old work made mondern

The end of the year coming up, cramming with all my might to end with a bang for my last year in college. This is a self portrait piece with me and the forest spirt with the Nuno sa Punso (dwarf). I am a lucky girl to be hanging with those  guys :P 

My piece from junior year;HUUUGEE style differences. 

This years version. 

Black and white piece with an idea of color scheme

Finish piece. 

Mom

I miss my mom. I drew her so I am not so lonely. 

Open house

This is my idea for open house. My theme was lucid dreaming(although it comes off as creativity) I made a color study and my final. 

this is the color scheme

this is the final idea. 

Amanda

As I was Skypeing my friend I decided to draw her. This is the lovable bubbly Amanda;she loves sweets more than me(which is a shocker for me because I AM a waking sweet addict.)When you say a delicious treat her face lights up like a cartoon character. The line i hear come out of her mouth the most is "I am tired." I tease her saying  that all the time!
She had a blast watching me doodle her. But this artwork I actually polished up :)

 I scanned my inked image than colored them on photoshop. My coloring skills are getting waaaaay better then they did several months ago. Yuucckkk
