Some Self Portraits

Drawings of the outfits I wore that day.

Zippersaurus?

Some pose practice.  It seems like I'm subconsciously making it act like a very curious puppy.

Someone commented that this reminded them of a terrestrial gulper eel.

A gift to Felix Kramer.

This guy has been around for quite some time.  He was probably created in 2005-2006.  Here's a drawing from 2009.

Misc. Sketchbook Dump

Some tigers in ink.  There are col-erase lines, but they do not show up when scanned.

A little gulper eel tattoo.

A very fluffy and uppity llama.

This was a secret santa gift to one of my classmates who wanted herself as a pirate queen.  I will never forget how happy she was when I gave this to her.

A panther in ink.  I was trying out a technique where you draw an image with water and drop ink into the water, letting it spread.

Charcaol Reversal

Here's that massive beast of a drawing that I finished back in late March.  It's a 18"x24" charcoal reversal of Damian Kulash, the frontman of OK Go.  I spend some good nights working on this thing, plus staying overnight at the art building.

I'd like to go fix it up during the summer since I got a low grade on it.

112A 4/25/2011

A new approach on figure drawing from today's class.  The first set of drawings were 5 minutes per pose and we had to loosely capture the feeling of light on the form without all the construction.  

The second drawing was a 20 minute pose where we'd use the same method, but have the time to add in more detail.  The one here is the only one out of three that I liked.  Funny thing is, one of my classmates saw it on the table while we were on break and asked if it was my teacher's work.

Figures and Maquette

First time doing a 40 minute pose with charcoal on toned paper.  Probably the first time I've gotten an entire figure done with shading and highlights ever.

Just a small sculpture of a pteranadon for the ink piece we need to do for 112A.  I also need to snap references of piles of cloth and lighting inside a cave, probably also sculpted as well.

Over 40 Hours For Sure

Piece I sent off around 2-3 weeks ago, took several weeks to finish it up.  I'm guessing it's around 6 feet long because I forgot to measure before I mailed it out.

The medium is black ink, watercolors, and white gouache on Chinese paper.

The photo I referenced belongs to a lovely wildlife photographer here: Sooper-Deviant

Also, I just checked the competition website and I've won a gold medal!

Welcome Post

Hello, this is the blog of Jasmine Ho, a student.  I'm sure you've figured that out already for reading the other stuff that's on this page.  If you're looking for personal stuff, it's not here... this is only for my art.

Have fun, stick around and I should have some stuff up soon.

Cheer.
