Bathroom Art

Merry Christmas everyone! Over the summer, I drew theses to shells to hang in my bathroom. I wanted to have them up in time for our grand christmas party. So, yesterday I ran out and got some frames. I think they look really nice :) I just need to finish the ship and my bathroom will be completed

Sketches

It's been awhile! I have been really busy with finishing school and applying to other schools!!! UGH! So stressful! Anyway, here are a few sketches I've done recently. Sorry, my camera is pretty bad so the photos don't look so hot but, I think you can get the general idea :) 

Calendar

     Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. I have been really busy with school and preparing for the CTN Animation Expo! It was my first time going and I must say, it was amazing! I met so many wonderful people including Glen Keane, Eric Goldberg, Claire Keane and Brittney Lee (again). Can't wait to go again next year.

     In class, we have been working on calendars. My group is the only one who decided to draw all the images. So naturally, we are a bit behind. Here are three of the images I have so far. They all need a little work but, I couldn't wait to post them. Oh, the theme of our calendar is fictional cities!

                                                                   Gotham (incomplete)

Sleeping Beauty's Castle 

The Shire 

Frida

Here is a photo of my latest drawing. It's a portrait of Frida Kahlo. This photo does not do the drawing justice. I'm not going to lie, I'm really proud of this one :) 

Logo Animation

Here is my finished logo animation! I am super happy with the end result :) It's a bit blurry; maybe it was to small when I moved it from photoshop to after effects. Oh well....
Also, this song does not belong to me. It is from Glen Keane's animated short Duet.

BRITTNEY LEE

The most wonderful thing happened yesterday; I met Brittney Lee :D She is my favorite artist and I aspire to be like her some day. She is a concept artist at Disney Animation Studios. She is most known for her cut paper art. Oh, did I mention I cried when I met her....so embarrassing!

Here is a picture of us <3 She's so cute! 

Below is just a quick look into the amazingness that is Brittney Lee!

One of my favorite paper pieces! 

Here is the picture she signed for me :D 

Exciting News!

So, I recently found out that two of my pieces are going into the student art show! How exciting :) One of them is a portrait of my friend and the other is an animation I did in class. I am so HAPPY! This will be the second semester I will be in the student show!

This is not the finished drawing, I'm to lazy to take a picture of the actual thing :p

16 Frames

Well, here is the first second of my 15 second logo animation! I am very excited for this project. Of course, I chose to make my animation really complicated so, I have to do a lot of work outside of class. I don't know if I want to make the lines really clean or keep it the way it is. I kind of like that sketchy look. Maybe I'll do a darker contour line around and keep the underdrawing...we shall see.

Twelve Hours

Here are the three portraits I've been working on recently. Two of them I did today (hence the title twelve hours). None of them are completely finished but, I am some what happy with them. Side note, for some reason these pictures don't capture what my drawings actually look like. They are much nicer in real life.

Pen and Ink (background needed + finish hair)

Charcoal (Completed)

Pencil (on the right. Does not photograph well so that's why you don't get to see a close up...Muwahaha!!)  

School Display!

EEKKK! One of my zodiac pattern fills was chosen to be displayed in the digital art department! No biggie...JK! I'M SUPER HAPPY! I was so excited when I saw it today. It was a secret goal of mine to get one of my pieces in the display case.  

                                                           All nine of the chosen pieces

Close up of mine (*cough* the best one *cough*) ;)

Three hours!

This is just a screen shot from a new project we started today in my animation class. In all honesty, I don't know how I feel about it. It's not really what I had pictured. While my other classmates are very expressionistic with fancy brush strokes and vibrant colors, mine is very muted and tight. Maybe I'm coming across a new style? Or maybe be I have no idea what I'm doing! Anyway, there is more to the picture but I'm only showing you the part that I am happy with. I promise to post the whole animation when it's completed :)  

Spirit Animal (Bella the Goat)

This is a drawing I did about a year ago. Our teacher had us pick an animal out of a velvet bag and then draw it; mine was obviously a goat. It's fun to look back on older drawings and see all the progress that's been made. This drawing was featured in the student art show last semester. I was so proud of it then but now, I'm embarrassed because I know I can do better. More recent work to come :)

   

Logo

Today in my digital art class we had a critique on the logos we've been creating for the past week. The teacher commented on the delicacy of my mine and added that it really reflects who I am. She also said that she was going to show it to her other classes :) So, here it is...

I'm not going to lie, I was inspired by Claire Keane's work. If you are unfamiliar with her art, you should check out her website claireonacloud.com. She is the daughter of legendary Disney animator Glen Keane. 

Peter Pan

Most everyone I know has seen this, but I thought I might as well post it. Here is my Peter Pan photo montage. Peter Pan has always been one of my favorite books. As most of my friends know I suffer from a Peter Pan complex; I never want to grow up! Enjoy :)

Crazy Zodiac

Today in my digital drawing and painting class we made our own Zodiac symbol. They are a mix between our Chinese symbol (rooster) and our Zodiac sign (libra). The fist one is a pattern fill, the second is monochromatic and the third is complementary colors with a gradient. I really liked this project. I wish I had just a bit more time to do some clean up work.

Monochromatic 

Complementary 

Quick Doodle :)

Here is a quick 3min drawing I did before class started today! I'm happy with how clean the lines are. I've always had a hard time drawing proportionate eyes, so I am pleased with how it turned out :) 

Finding Me....

Hello everyone :) My name is Clelia. I am currently a digital art major at Grossmont College. I have created this blog as a way to get some of my work out there. This blog is really more for me though. I am trying to find myself as an artist and as a person. I want to find my style and my passion in life. Hopefully, this will help me get there. The way I've decided to do this is by posting everything I do...the good, the bad and the ugly. I am open to all feed back or input you may have. Thank you for being part of my journey :) Art to come soon...
