Dibujando Monitos

Currently an art student in California, but was born and raised in México. Title is Spanish for "drawing cartoons", which is pretty much all I do. Besides art, I like animals, mythology, and good stories. I'm also a twin.
I volunteer as a docent at the local zoo.

Practice for a (long overdue) commission, doubling as an excuse to test out my newly acquired inking skills :D Both characters belong to Quail

Some quick & loose portraits of some of my favorite (and my friends’) Windsonde characters done a while ago as a warm up. I mean to do more at some point; there are still plenty of characters I want to paint. Tafari, Davey, Ozzer, Swift, Kreer, Dom Refs of actual birds were used.

Colored it! Granted, not the best coloring, but served as a good warm-up.

Just had an awesome chat/spazz-out session with Shifty, so have a quick doodle of our Windsonde griffs; Ozzer, Reva, and Taffy. ‘Twas awesome, especially when it devolved into everyone kinda doing this at their own end:

The result of some in-class practice exercises in Corel Painter. Griffins are my guinea pigs, as usual. Lineart was one of these sketches I’m finally understanding how to use layer settings as a tool for painting!
