Random Topic Drawings

These are some random drawing topics I did a while ago. I sometimes use the random topic generator at http://itscharacterdriven.blogspot.co.nz/  I've done a lot more which I'm hoping to clean up and use for colouring practice.

On a sweeter note...

So I know it isn't really relevant, I've recently become quite obsessed with baking cupcakes...

These ones were crushed pineapple with rainbow buttercream.

And these were vanilla with a pineapple curd centre and buttercream icing.

Needless to say my flatmates and work colleagues have been enjoying my latest creative endeavor :)

I just can't stop...

I've been taking life drawing classes each week, and I am absolutely loving them...

I got home last night from a two hour class and sat on the floor of my room and kept drawing! There's just something about drawing a live model that's so inspiring and motivating :)

Beach House

Finally finished this picture for my parents. First real attempt at a building :) Scanner kinda messed with it though.

Double Bounce Man

So I realised today that it's been over a month since I last posted. I think this is mostly because I have started a new job and have been super busy.

So here is a little clip I animated while I was at uni. 
He's really only a stick figure, but I think he's cute :)

I think the moral of it is just to remember that life goes on and things will be ok!

And this is something I drew today, it's supposed to represent myself if I were a Monsters Inc character. I'd definitely be yellow :)

Scarlett!!

Just because I love her haha. Took about three hours. I really wish I had a bit more patience so I could do it properly, then again I like to have more of a sketchy look to it..

Emu!

I haven't been up to a heck of a lot lately other than looking for a job and working on a project, hence the lack of posts since... Feb. I've done a little bit of sketching and a few portraits:
  

The portrait is of my grandfather, I popped it into a frame and gave it to my dad, he really loved it which was awesome. 

I started an animation yesterday and realised how much I've really missed it, so that was nice, I'm so glad I still love it after three years. I feel really lucky to have found something that I enjoy doing so much.  

I'm going to try and finish a scene that I started ages ago so that I can post it, since the only animation I have up here is my showreel. 

And hopefully I'll get some more animal drawings done since I'm also loving that at the moment and have been spending lots of time at the zoo :)
