Yuu-kun layers

In class we were asked to choose a cartoon character and create/ draw what they would look like on the insides as if they had an anatomical structure.

I chose to draw my character Yuu-kun (his name means courage in Japanese).  

All the layers side by side, drawn on tracing paper. 

1st layer: bones

2nd layer: organs

3rd layer: muscles. (He looks like a titan in this drawing)

4th layer: skin (fur?)

5th layer: clothes. I ran out of tracing paper at this point so I drew his clothes on a blank piece of paper.  Then I'll transfer it onto tracing paper like the others and colour it in.

Almost done with this drawing. Tomorrow I'm going to apply a coloured glaze over it with a spray gun then I'm done. 

Jaguar

For class we were asked to draw an animal or plant starting with the first letter of our name and draw it as a logo.

I'm not sure if its very logo-y though...

Extra: Work in progress of next drawing. 

reflection

This drawing is a scene from my book "The Wish Bringer" where the main character Lapis is attacked by her reflection, drawn/ painted in watercolours.

I've been thinking of drawing this scene for a while, but found it hard to figure out the right poses, especially since most of the stock images with two people are couple shots as opposed to fighting shots, but I managed in the end.

Natural History

I enrolled in a Natural History course this semester at uni and today we were asked to draw a feather with different mediums. Graphite, coloured pencils, watercolours and gouache.

back in Australia

Back home from my 1 month exchange in Rome, so now I'm doing a bit of house keeping by uploading some of the pictures I drew (and i'll eventually get around to updating my travel blog too).

Here are a few more drawings that I did while I was coming back.
