The Art of Ramona: School come back to me!

School come back to me!

I miss school!

Work is fine, but I miss having specific animation or drawing to do. I went to the animation open house a couple weeks ago, and WOW! Some of the drawings there made me want to scream! They are amazing! Maybe if I get in to the program, with lots of hard work, I will be able to make such captivating and emotional drawings like they did.

Here is a few drawings I did a couple days ago. I know, its not much but its something right?

Now when I edit it (on my sweet new camera), and put it to negative, it makes it look like I drew it in chalk! Pretty cool hey?

P.s. I am soooo sore today! I went rock climbing again yesterday, and man my arms are not used to that kind of exercise. We did get our belaying ticket though! This means we can go there whenever and do it all ourselves. Nice hey?

Here is a little hint to a video Melissa and I are currently working on.

(obstacles is back)

If you don't understand, read Melissa's Post.

Anybody have any challenges for me (drawing wise)? Leave a suggestion and I will see what I can do.

I freaking LOVE the lion (but you totally knew I would, didn't you?!) Also, I love the bunny - jeesh that thing is SO cute. It makes me want to cuddle it for HOURS!

HAHAHA, NICE, Obstacles ROCKS! We need to finish our video! Because it is epicness personified! (or not personified but...put to music and with pictures!)

YAY for getting your belaying ticket. You, my dear, are a PRO!

Try working in stronger lines of action into your drawings Ramone. It's there, but not quite strong enough.

Hey Ramona! Nice work on the drawings - keep it up!!! I love your bunny especially - sooo cute!! And I like the effect of putting the drawings into negative - quite a cool effect I agree. : )

I hope you put up some more drawings soon. Hmmm I've been trying to challenge myself in relation to drawing subjects recently too, especially in relation to emotion. If I give you one will you send me one? Mine for you is... a grumpy animal - you choose the kind of animal. But try and draw a really grumpy one.

Ok your turn now!!! : )

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd,
because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?""I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!
"The Walrus did beseech."
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stoodAnd waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"

"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--

Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would beA dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
