My version of Frida Kahlo

Made this 18X24 drawing for a friend that loves Frida's paintings. She still has this hanging in her living room. Unlike Frida's original paintings, I decided to try something different and color it entirely using Prismacolor pencils. I also decided to add the 'Dia de los Muertos' skull design. I felt that this would make it unique and also celebrate my mexican culture.

One of my favorite drawings from the semester. I drew the mom & her baby during feeding time
         
I drew a Servel. Its a medium sized wild cat. Looks a lot like the average house cat
                                                       
                                                    

A Wolf! I love adding detail & texture
                    
My first attempt at creating a made up animal. I called this a Lionoceros
                                 
  Its Chappy the dog!

My 2nd attempt creating my Lionoceros idea....(Came out looking a lot like just a "fat lion")



My final design. I changed it from a Lion to a Saber..mixed with a Rhino. I named it Saberoceros

We did it! Woooo


I wanted to share with you all a drawing that was created/drawn from my Woodbury friend (& team member from our junior film Arctic Affair) Sandy Zarrabal. I helped her by adding a few things. I drew Penny the Penguin (right), Dave our instructor...well half of him any ways, since you only see his arms & hands!...and alllll the animation paper....We seriously used that much, or probably more! Our studio was filled with paper by the end of the semester. Although this isn't color, its still a cute drawing of us as charactors. My team members: (top row-left to right) Tina Fallah, Emily Quinn, "Bill" Yelin Zhang, ME! Jorge Avalos, Sandy Zarrabal, & Jorgan Bickelman. Oh wait...lets not forget our main charactors from the film!...Penny, Baby, Melvin & last but not least, Diego!
