Day 19: And Now For A Short Break

Today I'm taking a bit of a break. I have just sent off a few resumes for creative jobs, and I'm hoping to hear back from them soon. Hrm, come to think of it I may have sent a teaching resume to a furniture sales job... I probably wont be getting that job. *insert smilie beating itself senseless here*

Anyways, I need to gather my thoughts and my artwork for my portfolio. I'm not feeling really strong about my current portfolio, so I'm hoping that I have enough to get the job I want.

Since I don't have any pretty drawings to share with you I will link you to a few web sites that I love:

http://www.conceptart.org/ - Excellent resource for the Digital Artist. A strong community to help people succeed in their chosen professional field. Strong focus on Character/Environment design.
http://danidraws.com/blog/ - Another Excellent resource, but for the Illustrator. Focuses on Digital Illustration.

I just found these two:

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/16/40-cartoon-character-illustration-tutorials/ Tutorials, tutorials and more tutorials!
http://www.cartoonsolutions.com/ Lots of fun!

My previous illustration teacher:
http://www.author-illustr-source.com/dominiccatalano.htm - My Illustration teacher's web sight. He has been quite an inspiration to me so I had to include him on this list.

Day 18.5 Catching up

Here is the Lady Bug Illustration that I just finished inking. I want to post the Spider & Fly illustration, but I'm having trouble opening it.

Annnd really late are my sketches. It wasn't so much that I didn't have them done as it was that I didn't have them all in the computer.

On the upper right you'll see a bird. I am now running out of my drawing paper so he got stuck being drawn over an old drawing. And in the bottom right... I'm not sure what the penguin is going to do with my futon, but I guess some things are better left unexplored. I still have a ways to go to be caught up completely, but I'm getting there!
