Doodle 11 - Happy Mountain

Alright !! this time I will definitely try and keep up with my blog. I've been so busy. Work work work!! OK so what do I do for a living?? I am part of a development team in creating games! I'm a VFX artist! I can make magic and cool stuff explode! Yay!! My 1st dream come true! Yes yes, thank you thank you. I do work hard. I remember those sleepless nights at school and caffeine junkie moments... life of a student I don't miss it... Stay In School!

So I want to say first of all that I'm not THAT young. I watched cartoon when I was younger so don't blame me if I didn't know who Bob Ross was. So my co-worker told me about him and his happy trees and wonderful pinkish clouds. I will not lie, his style of painting is very cool. 

I love Japan. No matter what people say or do. Japan has been a great influence in many peoples lives one way or another. Their artwork is really inspiring.They are just really good with their creativity skills. So I was watching an art video and they showed images and two of them was of Japanese traditional woodblock prints. Very beautiful. 

Japanese Woodblock Print

I was pretty much inspired by both these influences. I doodles and I really liked what I did.It may not be so amazing or colorful but I like my happy mountains =D

Doodle 10 - Thinking A Bit

Well then awesome people!! Yes you! Yup you are awesome!! Really I'm not lying =D Just smile because it's another day in which you can just GO and DO  something really cool. Something that you would really love to do. You want to sit at home and just relax... I won't blame you because that is something I wish I could do I also think too much and I wish I could just learn to forget for a couple of hours but hey we are humans so we have to stay awake and work hard to pay the bills. We are ALL AWESOME! So Just Smile =D

Let me tell you about this next doodle of mine. This doodle I did when I was in H.S and I did it for a girl. A really nice beautiful girl. Cute, gentle, funny, always smiled, and was 100% straight oh! and Peruvian haha. That didn't matter really she was a good kid. Very nice, she kind of inspired me to be the flirt that I WAS! haha her and my old manager. They were just so cute and I couldn't help myself. So anyway, this doodle I did it for my friend because she would always have her hair short and all the way up. She looks sooo cute! I love penguins too so I guess it's why I decided to do it. I've done many variations over the years. I gave her the original one though. We haven't talked for over 6 years now but I will never forget the good memories.

Doodle 9 - Sad Tree

Alright been a long time since I did one of these. I have to get back to telling you about my doodles haha. Well nothing new has happened in my life other than getting a nice nice raise. Now I can buy myself an awesome monster computer!!

It is now the new year 2012. Hopefully this year can bring us a lot of new adventures! I want an adventure! Something to spice up my life a bit. I did take up 3 things at the end of last year that are very interesting,

1. Learning American Sign Language! (learned a lot...still going at it)

2. Poker with work buddies(2 wins so far)

3. and last but not least juggling! (to improve my hand-eye coordination and rhythm)

But I want more. Something that can be very thought provoking... we'll see what happens 

Back to doodling. I want to show you a quick process of how I doodle. Here is a sad tree... not sure why I made it look sad but it ended up this way. 

As you can see this is made up of little lines that just make up shapes. Nothing solid! Some do indicate shadows or ground. Line work!

Ok on this one we can see that I established that it IS a tree. I was thinking that it would be sad if leaves were burning off the tree as the tree stood there and did nothing. Just imagine you on fire but you can't even move or yell or anything. Tree's are good to us but we are not to them. 

This is the final image. I used ink and markers to make it look smudgy and wet. Falling leaves are colored in read. for me it was symbolizing pieces of the tree bleeding as parts of it died. They fall and pile on the ground and become nothing but ashes. 

This is a sad doodle but hey we draw what we see.
