Lana Del Rey Tribute

This is a page from my sketchbook inspired by the song "Dark Paradise" by Lana Del Rey. The lyric I was most interested in was "...There's no remedy for memory...".

I love her album "Born To Die" its so nice to have an album you can listen to all the way through. I'm teaching myself "Video Games" on the guitar right now. Its a great song to practice playing if your a beginner like myself. 

I used a lot of different mediums on this one and was able to get a matte effect. Now I want to use a more reflective paint to contrast the bottle with the label and background. 

Homemade Animation Table

Every since I was a kid I always wanted to be a character animator. I used to watch movies over and over studying them. I had books on how to be a cartoonist and constantly drew. Now I'm a senior in college at Massachusetts College of Art and Design going for animation! I told my grandfather about all the work I am doing and how much I love school. I told him about how I want a desk to animate but they are hundreds of dollars. My grandfather is a handy man and makes all sorts of things. He asked if he could make me one and we looked up tutorials online. Thanks to my grandfather I have a beautiful animation desk and its even better because he made it for me. 

This picture is an old picture from my phone but here it is!

Work Space

I started a mood board last year in my room above my desk. I really like working in my room. A lot of people have studios at school but I find it hard to focus with a bunch of people around me. I like to work with others for certain things but for the most part I need to be alone to think clearly.
Theres still a few empty spaces that need filling but its pretty much a full mood board!

I also want to state that the work on my mood board is NOT mine. Its stuff I rip out of magazines or print out online. I'm not claiming I own anything.
