Underdog: Striving Boxers of Manila

I helped out a friend earlier today and illustrated a page for his upcoming book (and thesis). It's about local boxers and their struggles for fight preparation and stuff. It's all really just gestures but I think it'll work well for the book's layout. Here's the illustration!

Sammy Davis Jr.

There's really not much explanation for this. I don't even really know the guy actually, a friend just made me watch a video of him on youtube last night and his face just happened to be my cannon fodder reference for doodling before bed. They're all just little thumbnail drawings from my notebook, I painted them digitally earlier today.

it was a long walk home..


sometimes, things don't go as you expect them to..

and there's just nothing you can do to make it feel better.

Girly Doodles

I just think this is a really really cute drawing.

New Year Gestures

We didn’t get to do much for New Year, just stayed home and watched the fireworks outside from our rich neighbors. I’m not complaining, I kinda enjoyed just celebrating it in the comfort of our home this year.

I did some gesture drawings online, I'm happy cause I think i'm finally starting to get the hang of it and I can draw them without being all too rendery and re-touchy.

(yes, i just invented those two words)

And this is just a random portrait, just for variation.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you get to enjoy it with your families and friends and loved ones.

Hair Down

So it's official. I'm gonna be graduating from college. I can't really feel the excitement yet cause everything felt like it was on super speed the last couple of weeks with all the deadlines and all. It's only just starting to sink in really slowly to me now that we're on Christmas break.

I'm gonna miss..

My allowance =(

Anyway, this is what I look like 5 minutes before entering the school still looking all sleepy and haggard, and before tying my hair.  Fortunately, only a few very unlucky people see me looking like this in real life. Haha.

Notebook Sketches

I was watching Way of The Dragon earlier today and this one dude, who's only an extra, caught my attention cause he looked like a real life 70's guy caricature. Haha. I haven't seen a legit 70's film in a long time so it was pretty interesting, not to mention Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in one action movie. Now that's epic right there.

(from left to right: the evil rich white man behind everything, the irritating kiss ass, and some other extra dude)

I've got much to learn about shapes.

This other drawing is from an old woman who sat beside me yesterday on the jeepney while going home. She looked really interesting and she seemed like a nice person. I did a little memory sketch of her when i got back home. I really like this one.

 Notice the nice little ribbon on her headband.

VSFS 2011

Will probably be doing more of these since i got to do a lot of drawings while watching the show. Hopefully if spare time permits, i'll digitally cleanup and color them too. Talk about "figure" drawing..
