First

I have been attending CalArts since Fall of 2008 as a BFA Costume Design student, and it's my first year there. It has been a world of firsts; I have been doing a lot of things I have never done, and have been continuing to experiment and develop skills and techniques I already have.

The following are a few pulled from a series of my first set of charactures. I've never attempted charactures really, as I was terrified of never having them turning out anywhere close to the models. These were also done in my first Life Drawing class ever. I had never taken any fine art classes ever in my life, and it has been what at first was a terrifying and intimidating as all hell of a class to a fantastic environment for me to exploring drawing in general as well as developing my own personal aesthetic.

And due to lack of photoshop at the moment these have been uploaded into my laptop ghetto style: with a camera. >.<
