Eternal Sunshine

Lately, my sketchbook hasn't been touched. I guess I'm just gonna upload another film scene sketch. This was made at the end of June. This one is from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Fair warning-- this doesn't look like the actors who play in the film, but I still like it for the cartoon-like look of it.

Doll

This from the '05 sketchbook. Not one of my better sketches, but this sketchbook was when I just started out. The girl is a doll from a manga called God Child by Kaori Yuki. This from the "A Little Crooked House" story arc. If anyone looks up the picture that I sketched this from, you will see I definitely messed it up. It's still kinda cool though, I guess.

Possible Graphic Novel?

Sorry about the hiatus, been busy for the past few days, really haven't done much in my sketchbook or been near a scanner. I'm gonna post some old stuff probably for the next couple of days and look through my current sketchbook to see what I'm okay with posting.
Anyways, this is two of the three main characters for my graphic novel idea, Hunter Stanton & Alexander Portman (I posted some practice sketches of him earlier). I haven't been working on it much. This is from a month ago I think, I was trying to practice large scale drawings of them. The eyes on Hunter got all blotched, my bad. The graphic novel revolves around a possible apocaplyse, which the agents of heaven and hell know depends on a drug addict named Alexander Portman.

Childhood Cartoons

I was feeling nostalgic a couple nights ago, and started drawing some old cartoons I liked back in the day. Hey Arnold!, As Told by Ginger, Rocket Power, Recess, Lloyd in Space... I miss those Saturdays when I used to get up and make sure to change the channel to ABC so I could watch One Saturday Morning, or the days after school that I'd switch on Nickelodeon and watch hours upon hours of cartoons. Ah, well, those days are behind me. Doesn't stop me from watching them all on Youtube.

Sometimes.

So here's some thoughts I wrote just a couple days ago. I was thinking about my next upcoming semester, and how once again, I'm going to be the only one who's a little different. When I say "different," I'm not just talking about the fact that I'm on the crazy side, although I suppose that's part of it. But everything that is part of my identity seems to differ from everyone I'm living with. I'll be the only minority, the only one who doesn't really party, the only one who isn't having sex with someone, the only one with the history I have, the only one who has connections to the ghetto... The only one who isn't the typical "average" college girl. That's not to say I don't totally love my roommates--- I chose them for a reason. But sometimes it's a very isolating feeling; knowing that as much as you try to explain who you are to people, they constantly want a "why."

Quais de Seine

So this is another film scene. I guess I'm going through a phase in my sketchbook where I'm sketching film scenes with my favorite lines. This is from "Paris, Je T'Aime," which is a film that consists of 18 shorts by various directors all over the world. One of my favorite shorts in the film is "Quais de Seine," by Gurinder Chadha. As you can probably guess, most of the shorts are in French, but I have the film with English subtitles, so I put those in my sketch.
