Yaya's palette

Next up is figuring out a palette that would suit a spanish grandmother who enjoys knitting and muscle hunks on daytime soap operas. I used Matisse’s paintings and cutouts as my inspiration for the colour on these. 

Clear silhouette

For my next pass, I really wanted to make sure my silhouettes were clear and strong that you didn’t even need the line to tell you what it was. 

Yaya's apartment interior

I made a conscious decision last month to have a break from social media. Mostly that meant taking Instagram off my phone and I have to tell you, it has been most refreshing! 

I thought I would have FOMO more than I did but after the first few days, I really didn’t miss it at all! I actually allowed me to see even more than before. I know that sounds funny to say but I think it has to do with being present more often instead of looking at my phone. 

Now I have to admit, the addiction of Instagram was then replaced with Facebook but I’m working on that. I’m not saying I won’t ever be back on Instagram again but just gaining more of a balance than before. To be sure, I’ll be posting pictures of me and my little nephew come Christmas because we have matching Christmas shirts and I cannot wait for us to wear them together. :)

Anyhoo, here is my first post about our group film, Knit Fit. It’s about a grandma trying to watch her soap opera who then gets interrupted by some commotion outside her apartment. Above are some sketches of her apartment interior. The composition comes from the amazingly talented powerhouse,Rosanna Lam.

Layout sketches

Killing two birds with one stone. We have to draw from Indiana Jones for Layout class and for Painting, we need to paint a layout! One of these will be the lucky one to be painted! 

Monocle Shop

We are doing an exterior shot for our painting assignment and so I wanted to do a storefront. Here is quick sketch of the Monocle shop in New York. I'll paint be painting this baby soon!

Grand Central Station

A dream is a wish your heart makes!

Finally got some time do some personal work tonight. I decided to push my layout assignment further and do a painting of it. Worked some Mary Blair/Eyvind Earle inspiration together and this is what I got. 

UPDATE: I reworked my painting after Angela, my fairy godmentor gave me some tips. Looks much better! Thanks Ange!

Diagonal Pan for Komza

I'm getting really excited to come back home to Vancouver so for my last layout assignment for Komza, I decided to do something inspired by home.
