I usually like to paint traditionally, so I hadn't done very many digital backgrounds before this term. Turns out they're pretty fun to do!

 

It's been a little while since the last time I posted anything, hasn't it? I think it's time to get rid of a bit of the dust on this blog and start posting again!

Both of these paintings were done in the first term of this past year, in gouache.

So First Year is Over

and did it ever fly by quickly! I'm already looking forward to second year, but right now it's summer, and there are so many art and animation-things that I want to try to do over the break- can't wait to get started!

Just a couple of things to post today:

Character in Setting painting, with cel overlay. I was looking forward to doing this particular project, and had a lot of fun designing the room for it. And it's been a while since the last time I did anything with acrylic paints, so it was nice to take those out again for a little bit, too.

 Final Character Design project for the year, Penelope the jackalope. I just wanted to design a silly, goofy character for this one, and I really enjoyed drawing poses for her!

That's all for tonight. Have a lovely summer!
