Summer Matsuri Bear

 I have always loved Polar Bears.

I went to a Japanese festival recently and got a fan just like the one in the drawing. So I thought I should do a polar bear character in the style that I like with Japanese elements.

It took me a while to finish it, because I didn't really follow the line work, and I was struggling with color. I was going to experiment it with a 2-dimensional graphic style, but I ended up rendering it and adding textures and stuff.

I really need to work on my digital coloring skills, because it just took too long, and that is not good enough for a soon-to-be 3rd year animation student.

Overall, I really like this character because it is original and I enjoyed creating it~

Street Art

I wish I had wings, 

so that I could fly to the places where I wanna be 

and travel around the world.

Italy Final Project

I made this panorama for my Italy trip.

It represented the cultural impact and knowledge that were given to us, and the effects on me throughout the whole journey.

I was falling behind whenever we arrived at a new place, because there were just too many things to see and to take pictures of. I was in pain, but still trying to catch up.

"Dove Mickey?" meaning where is Mickey kind of became a joke for the group, because I actually lost track of the group for several times and had to find my way back on my own.

Overall, it was a painful but also valuable experience for me mentally and physically.

And I am glad that my drawing skills improved so much during my time there.
