Iris Amelia: Thoughts, et cetra

Since Photoshop CS3 + WACOM = LOVE, I’d like to share a few things I’ve drawn that I’m particularly proud of. The blog posts that I regularly put here of my routine (like my last post, for example) usually take about … 15 minutes. (It’s uploading that takes the longest.) The below pictures elapsed a bit longer, at least 30 minutes per drawing, not including coloring/shading.

My dear friend Jonathan. Drew this for the paper as a small mug. Fun times!

Decided to try out these new brushes I downloaded. I LOVE THEM TO DEATH. Taking the extra time to “manually” color in the drawing = TOTALLY WORTH IT. Here’s a friend of mine from the paper, Sergio. He’s awesome, and quite athletic. Also very nice and intelligent.

Dearest Ercirageous, caricatured. He actually did write the above quote in a hilarious Facebook note. It’s a shame people actually believed him.
*~*~OMG SO CRAYON-EY~*~*

Moi/my current Facebook profile picture. The quote stems from an inside joke that went horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.
And I mean HORRIBLY wrong.

Being whisked away. This one didn’t take as long as the above illustrations. (You can really tell, too.)

With the new “sketchy” brushes, I’m re-tempted to jumpstart on my webcomic again, even though I really, really, REALLY don’t have the time for it. (Papers/midterms are right around the corner – hey, one exam’s on friggin’ Friday!) I don’t know if I want to do an autobiographical comic – I mean, this blog is kinda fulfilling that purpose, albeit infrequently – so if you have any ideas for a webcomic, let me know. I’ve asked this already, somewhere (perhaps Twitter) so… yeah, go at it.

What should I draw?

Now I’m tempted to draw some more doodles/illustrations, but alas, I cannot! Must sleep!
