It's the Most Wonderful Time!

Inktober is finally here! I'm determined to do better than I did last year at keeping up. So far, so good. I actually got something done on the first day!

Ballpoint pen cowgirl kicks off the month with a YEEHAW! Weirdly enough, she was inspired by a Journalism classmate's boots. #inktober

Caricatures

Do you guys remember the NY Times article that featured the BYU animation program? A few of us were asked to draw caricatures of ourselves that were featured next to our photos. You can read the article here:

This is the caricature I drew from the article. Still like my old one more. 

Here, have some other caricatures.

Can it be...?

Why, YES, DEAR FRIENDS! IT IS!

I suppose you're wondering why it has been so long? No? Well, I'll tell you anyway...

See, there was this six-month internship in Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL, and I participated in it! My second internship at WDW, in fact, and I hope that it's not my last!

And then, 4 days after my internship ended in December, I went back to Utah and good ol' BYU.

Shortly thereafter, this wonderful new experience happened.

Tendinitis. In my right hand. My drawing hand. 

If you don't know what it feels like, here's a pretty accurate description. 

It pretty much made the rest of the semester fairly miserable, seeing as it hurt to draw, write, type, drive, play piano, do dishes, cook, pack lunches, eat, move my wrist, sleep, live etc. 

BUT! I survived long enough to give you these sketches that I made during my stay in Florida!

Normal people ride Space Mountain in Disney World. I draw pictures. THEN go riding on Space Mountain.

More tales and adventures to come! Hopefully with my wrist not feeling like it's going to fall off my arm!
