Geeks OUT- Drawing with Phil Jimenez

This past sunday I had the privilege of participating in a figure drawing session with Phil Jimenez! It was so much fun.
I got close to 20 pages worth of sketches out of it. Here's one of Super boy! Super quick coloring in Photoshop.

Oh..did I mention the models were dressed as spandex-clad superheroes?

First Year at SVA!

Let me start this off with a little bit of a background story.

I went to the University of Connecticut and studied Management Information Systems from 2006-2009. I withdrew and applied to SVA with one semester to go because doing art  and going to art school has been a dream of mine ever since middle school and I could no longer afford to be anything less than completely honest with myself. I NEED art.

Well, I finally decided to take complete control of my life and here I am. First year Illustration major at the School of Visual Arts and I am beyond ecstatic for what is to come. 

Here's some of the work I did this year for my Drawing class.
