Rorschach Kitty

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 07:26:00 +0000

I was talking with a friend about Rorschach...Just a quick sketch I came up with for being a complete cat freak and Rorschach freak :)

Just practicing copic markers

And I clearly suck at it. But oh well, practicing it is.

Robot

A quick thing for my dad and mom.

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:43:00 +0000

I forgot about Mother's day in May, I forgot about Father's day this month....And I haven't really phoned them or sent them anything..So I thought I'd sketch something for them and all I could think of was ... one of my cats (of course)

Character design

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 03:45:00 +0000

A character design I did for the Nickelodean International Open Mics. I started designing a character as soon as I heard about it, but ended up pushing it aside so I didn't get to do a few things I had originally planned...I personally like my character design, but I wish I could work on it a little more. I had a hard time deciding what colour this character should be, and I was also thinking about changing his design in the last minute, but I kept it anyway.

Painting for fun: Forest

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 22:57:00 +0000

Again, a quick digital painting I did for fun. Unfortunately, the image is more desaturated than the original painting I did in photoshop...

Painting for fun: Moon light

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 09:25:00 +0000

Just a quick painting I did for fun.

Driving bath tub to Chicago

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:43:00 +0000

I did this quick inside-joke-painting for my friend.

Female Robot: Colour

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:33:00 +0000

I coloured my female robot I drew a while ago, just for fun.

Portrait of my Father

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0000

So, here is a portrait of my daddy I did. I was supposed to paint it for him long time ago but I kept pushing it aside. I finally started about 2 weeks ago, painted a little bit and then took a break, went back to it a few days later.... I think it's close to done, if not entirely done. I could still fix it, but I thought I would first show it to my father and then fix it once I get some feedback from him. Or if anybody has any feedback, it would be much appreciated.

For fun: Yuki Onna (Snow woman)

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:57:00 +0000

I mentioned in this blog before that I'm interested in Japanese mythical/spiritual creatures, and Yuki Onna is one of them. It literally means Snow Woman...which...doesn't sound quite right when I say it in English...But there are actually a lot of different legends of her. Some legends reveal her as evil and some legends tell her softer side and her sad love story.

So, I was getting impatient with my scenery painting and wanted to do something for fun quickly. I tried using different colours but eventually I decided that I'll keep it simple, kind of mimicking an ink painting and post the different version on my DeviantArt site.

Coffee: painting practice

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:14:00 +0000

Painting practice again...I haven't been too productive, but I finally finished this one.

Because I missed my last Moose Monday...

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:35:00 +0000

I have been ambitious and have been working on a scenery painting...But I figured it's going to take me long, I thought I'd do some quick painting practice..But then I wasn't being productive, so I thought I'd work on my awesome mini moose flash animation! Just because I missed the last moose monday.It's supposed to be blinking at the beginning, but you can hardly see it.

A wonderful gift from my uncle

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 06:10:00 +0000

I received a small package from my uncle a couple of days ago. I opened it and oh my goodness, I found a set of watercolour brush pens! They look like one of those water refillable watercolour brush pens, but they come in colours. So I thought I'd post a picture of the brush set, and the little practice I did for fun, just to show that I did something (kind of) useful today. I tend to use too much water when I try to soften the edges, but I'll get used to it eventually. I'm just worried about when they eventually dry out...'cause they're not easy to find here...

I also thought I shouldn't be too dependent on digital painting, where I can fix my mistakes anytime I want. So I guess I should be working/practicing on more on the traditional painting.

Moose Monday 14

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:58:00 +0000

Moose Monday! I skipped the last two moose monday and now here it is, another moose monday.

Painting practice - wolf

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:52:00 +0000

I just wanted to see if I can paint furry animals. And I like wolves...so here it is, an angry wolf. Oh my god, painting fur is hard and time consuming. I was going to work a little bit more on this, but I thought I would just move on to the next painting.

Final version

Maya assignments

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:47:00 +0000

I'm currently taking a part-time Maya Intro course at Van Arts. It started in late September, and I have it every Saturday. I thought I would post some of the earlier exercises we did in class. Here they are, a mug, a weird looking banana,glass, and a dice. I apologize for the watermark. We started animating in class, so I will be posting some of the animation soon.

Another quick painting

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:03:00 +0000

Just another painting practice again. The reference is from one of the pictures my grandfather took. I'm really disappointed that blogger reduces saturation from the original version...I think the colour correction I did works here but it's still frustrating.

From Sunday life drawing

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:58:00 +0000

I finally went to one of the Sunday life drawing classes at VFS. Finally...And I'm glad I went because I haven't gone to life drawing in such a long time, I got to loosen up and sketch on a big sketch pad. I wish I had gone to the previous life drawing classes. I'm so out of practice...

But I thought I would upload some of the life drawing sketches I did.

Quick painting practice

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 02:52:00 +0000

I thought I would do some scenery painting practice...Oh my, shadows are hard...This took me longer than I expected.

Quick painting

nana.fujino@gmail.com (Nana Fujino) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:47:00 +0000

I failed to post this on wednesday night, but here it is...another quick painting. There is supposed to be another tree behind the lamp but...I neglected it for the time being...I always have a hard time figuring out how to put more depth between the front object and the back object...
