Cammie Sketches

Have you ever had a dream that left you depressed when you woke up?
yep, it´s hard to wake up...

Thank you

Well, this weekend I did try to have some time for myself (as you guys suggested) and, I kinda did it, yesterday : ) I bought my music, a book and fresh air under a tree. The sun and the shadows from the leaves were really inspiring and relaxing. Not totally "recovered" but I really wanted to thank you all for your words and support, so I did try to make some doodling today : )
Thank you so much

Summer

Sketch again
This last few weeks have been just to depressing for me... art block I guess, I feel like everything that I do just sucks, out loud! ... *sigh* not only at drawing but in my life in general... oh well, I guess I´m tired... latelly my only though is to give up... but I also know that I can´t because that´s just not my way of being and I also got a lot of people that are counting on me... but sometimes is just so hard. I feel so not in the mood... sorry...

I hope you guys are having a great summer

Sketches

- My favorite part on the process of making manga? Definitely the concept art and the character design. (love to pop characters out of nowhere lol)
- Hardest part for me? The scripts and the paneling (I really stuggle on those x.x)

Yeah... I should be studying <.< I know I know... it´s always stronger than me, meh...

Surprise

I must to admit that I felt really honored and surprised when today, during classes, one of my teachers came near me with the Banzai magazines and asked me an autograph... it was funny and kinda cool x) I guess, lol

University Projects

Studies, script and page composition for a project to university.
Objective: Create a silk-screened poster with one manga page of an original character. :) I present you the butterfly girl.
P.s: I haven´t decided yet but as I have to further develop the project maybe I will create a plush toy of this character and other products to create a collection based in silkscreen printing techniques and linoleum. It´s gonna be a hard semester, wish me luck. ;)
