- Dallas World Aquarium
So I decided that I would to to the Dallas World Aquarium today to get some sketching in. I didn’t really sketch as much as I wanted to inside the place but going there was a treat.
Here are some sketches I did:
(I drew this guy’s head too wide… It’s actually pretty narrow.)One of my favorite animals in the Dallas World Aquarium is the three-toed sloth. It has this serene smile. It is as if it has not a care in the world, which is probably true, since it has no need to look for food or be scared of predators. I drew something silly to commemorate my favorite DWA animal.
Ok, that is all for now. I realize that i really want a wacom tablet. Time to save money!
- Mission Accomplished
One of my goals for 2010 was to finish my portfolio website. And tada, It is finished!
I may tweak a few things but it is presentable indeed. I also made a new banner for this blog.
Resolution one down; 900394850345 more to go…
And! I didn’t post last week’s drawing which I will do now.
It’s a daschund. I’m going to be more on schedule this week.
- Happy Christmas!
Ok, ok, it’s been awhile since I have posted. I am easily distracted by work, food, sleep, etc.. I did manage to squeeze out one illustration! It was for my friend Michelle’s Christmas card. I drew her and her kitties relaxing in her chair.
I have decided that one of my New Year’s resolutions (besides the usual eat healthier, exercise more, emotional fulfillment) is that I will draw at least one thing a week and post it on my blog. The first steps to improvement are practice, practice, practice! So I will hold myself to it.
Enjoy the holidays everyone!
- Print Gocco Replacement?
I have been wanting one a gocco printer for a couple of years now, but since they are discontinued, I didn’t know if it would be a good financial investment.
I was poking around online and saw this:
It seems like it may be a good investment! It can print a lot bigger than a gocco about 11×17, which sounds great. I was reading on the internet that the current screens they have aren’t good enough for printing on paper but they are coming out with better screens soon. I am waiting a bit longer before I take the plunge, but it’s definitely something to consider.
- Adam can Cook!
Hello! I wanted to share some illustrations I did for a cookbook for Adam. He is what you say… an aspiring cook and needed a bit of help. I have posted the title pages for each of the sections of the book.
I bound the book myself and did some embroidery for the cover. This was my first embroidery project ever so forgive my lack of skills.
Why the rat you say? Adam loves Pixar and I wanted to add Remy from Ratatouille as his helper chef.
I had a lot of fun illustrating this and Adam enjoyed it very much.
- Welcome!
Hello! My name is Natalia.
This is my first ever blog, and my first official post! WordPress has been a major challenge for me and as of right now, my blog’s design is still a work in progress, so the design may change as I figure out this darn thing.
I am a graphic designer who loves to draw and make things with her hands. This blog will be a place to post my personal work (primarily drawing and illustration), but it is also a place for me to show my inspiration and other random things I feel compelled to share — whether it be recipes, personal stories, technology, toys, or whatever else i come across.
I feel that my drawing skills are waning so hopefully having a place to share them will help me practice and improve them.
Also, I hope that in the future I will talking to more people other than myself!
