Saw the movie Ex Machina last weekend. It was gorgeous and creepy.

Hieracosphinx (Falcon-headed lion-bodied mythical creature)

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 01:10:00 +0000

For today's Sketch Dailies the subject is a hieracosphinx (yeah, I had no idea what it was either.) It's supposed to be a falcon-headed creature, but trying to draw falcon faces from reference photos wasn't turning out so great. Instead, I chose to draw Sam (the) Eagle's noble head.

Princess Leia

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 22:11:00 +0000

One of this week's Sketch Dailies themes was Princess Leia who is a badass babe. Haven't had much energy to draw lately but wanted to play with my new set of Photoshop brushes made by Kyle T Webster. I got his megapack a while ago and just bought his new mini set of gouache brushes (that I didn't end up using for this particular drawing). I'm trying to draw in Photoshop more, I used to only draw in Corel Painter. Still getting used to it..

Gollum and some Loser Elf

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 02:16:00 +0000

One of this week's sketch dailies subjects was Gollum from Lord of the Rings. And because he's also weird looking I also drew Dobby from Harry Potter.

HODOR.

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:31:00 +0000

For the upcoming Picture's Worth a Thousand Words show at Ltd. art gallery in Seattle, I drew Hodor, Bran and his direwolf Summer (and the three-eyed crow) from George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series.

Wolves

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:25:00 +0000

I rarely draw animals, so I found some concept art from the movie Balto and decided to practice!

Ramona

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:09:00 +0000

My piece for the Edgar Wright show at Gallery 1988 West opening Tuesday Aug. 20th. I drew my fellow Ramona Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

Don't mock the afflicted, Paulie.

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:36:00 +0000

Proud to be part of the official Bad Robot art show at gallery 1988 west ! Thought I'd give steadfast and under-rated Astrid from Fringe a little recognition.

Sketch Dump!

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:36:00 +0000

I've been poring over The Art of Tangled lately, especially Glen Keane's and Jin Kim's work, in preparation for an upcoming art show at Gallery 1988 (the show isn't Disney themed, but my piece is somewhat Disney-style).

HelloGiggles & Gallery 1988 Present: Young Adult

noreply@blogger.com (Mona) — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:13:00 +0000

I'm very excited to be a part of the upcoming Young Adult show at Gallery 1988 Melrose opening Feb 2nd in Los Angeles. Gallery 1988 collaborated with the website hellogiggles (an online community for women founded by Zooey Deschanel, Molly McAleer and Sophia Rossi) on this show themed around young adult book series such as Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and the Baby Sitters Club (my personal third-grade favorite).

I decided to draw the four original members of the BSC (Kristy, Claudia, Stacey, and Mary Anne) and created 9x12" stretched canvas prints of the individual girls and an 11x17" giclee print of all four together (signed & numbered limited run of 20!)
