Daily Drawing Update

Apologies for the complete lack of updates. As this drawing suggests... things have been rather crazy. There have been a number of family matters that have pushed regular updates to the bottom of my to-do list. However, things are hopefully calming down a bit, so that things will get back to normal around here. Stay tuned!

Note~!

Just a quick note to say I have started a Tumblr! It can be found here:

http://thedreamry.tumblr.com

There you'll find sketches and other odds and ends that are a little too informal for this blog. I'll still be posting here, but expect them to be more finished pieces.

Good drawing to you~!!

Fail Week

This has been a week of fail. No posts within the last eight days. So much for that streak.

Basically, I've been bombarded with lots of homework leading up to this week, spring break. And even though it's spring break, the work never stops! I have internship applications and thesis work, and... I'm not going to get into that.

Once I've got my new portfolio [in fancy 11x17 pages~!] figured out, I'll post that up on here! So then the blog will be less lonely. :]

Oops

Well, that wasn't really supposed to happen. It's what... the 24th today? Hm... Time warp?

That however is not to say that nothing else has been done! Quite the contrary. The film is moving along splendidly to say the least:

1. of 85 shots, less than 23 remain to be animated.
2. nearly all of those 62 shots are already colored.
3. Toon Boom can read minds, and thus makes compositing far less confusing than it would otherwise be.
4. of roughly 82 backgrounds, 36 are done, but the remaining backgrounds are all a lot easier than the ones that are done.

And in addition to this work, I even put together a portfolio! Yay? You see, the first ASIFA Student Film Festival was last Saturday, and they had portfolio reviews! I spoke to Jorge Gutierrez of Nickelodeon, and he had some good advice for a li'l sophomore like myself who doesn't quite know what she wants to specialize in yet.

Now, I know this is sad, but I'm on the wrong computer to update my portfolio, and am quite frankly not in the right state of mind to mess around with photoshop to resize and flatten some backgrounds to post them here. You see, I may just save over the file I actually need for the project, in which case I would be very much in trouble. So no art this post. Next time! I promise!

And now, back to work! Yarg!

Why hullo!

And with this I do begin.

As an artist, and knowing other artists who also have blogs, it seemed a good idea to start one for myself. And thus I do introduce myself to whatever part of the world stumbles across these humble words.

I am Lis, currently a second-year animation major at Loyola Marymount University. As this particular semester calls for a group film, I intend to partly use this place as a production blog to follow along with our progress, and partly a place to put up various pieces of unrelated artworks.

So with this, I am done, and must be off to work on said film!
