Finally done!

... with  my first year in Vancouver, and as an Illustration student at Emily Carr University.

it's been thrilling, inspiring, hectic and stressful, and i wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world.  but right now, i'm SO glad it's done with for the next month!

i'll be spending the next few updates showing off the final products of each studio class i've had this semester, starting with ILUS 300: Advanced Illustration.

this class was the first time i felt in control about what my projects were going to be- probably because it WAS in my control.  our professor Durwin first grouped us based on the industry we expressed the most interest in working in.  in my case, i was in the concept art group, since i want to be in character design at some point.  proud to say that i was one of the only two girls in the whole group, too :D

so my project was basically to finally sit down and design the main characters for a novel i've been meaning to write- from top to bottom- and work on a character-based illustration to introduce them.  we were originally supposed to do four parts to the projects, but it wound up being two due to time constraints, and the bulk of other things we had to do for the class [i'll share all of that at another time- it's almost midnight here, and i have yet to pack for my flight!]

so without much more yammerin'...

Assignment 1...

...and Assignment 2!
