I started a sketch blog recently with a couple girls some weeks ago and its finally now getting off the ground. I will do an official plug post for the site when it gets more artwork on it. So hold tight and expect it in about a month. Our first task was to do self portraits of ourselves along with some questions. I'll provide the questions for this post for you guys. So this is a self portrait of myself :D
Name: Jessa Brianne Sininger
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Job Position: Technical Animator by day Sketch Fiend by night
Current Employer: Rhythm and Hues
What are some things you have worked on: Night at the Museum 2, GTA 4, Gears of War 2, Ben 10 Alienforce, Sid the Science Kid
What is the process you go through in doing your art, as well as the types of tools you use: I start out just scribbling down some gestures till I get an idea and/or how I think the pose should go. From there I start to work on the anatomy. I tend to deal with simple shapes a lot for my characters. I'm a stickler for details so I have to pull myself back to not get too trigger happy with it in the beginning stages of the sketch. For my main tools of the trade I'm content with just a 3b pencil and a sketchbook. I use Photoshop for coloring.
What inspired you to become an artist: When I was 8 I saw Pocahontas in the theater. After watching it I knew I wanted to be an animator
What is your most favorite subject to draw/why: People, I have a lot of fun drawing them.
Any tips you can give: Stay loose. That was the key I learned a little too late in the game. Make sure you gesture draw things before getting anatomy right etc. Also watch out for contour drawings they can kill ya.
Favorite Artists: Michelangelo, Iain McCaig, Glen Keane, Beauguereau
Favorite Animated Movie: Aladdin
Hobbies: reading, cooking, writing, drawing, running, roller blading, swimming, and watching movies
Pencil sketch, colored in Photoshop CS2

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I've been really busy. I hope this makes up for it. I got to thinking what was the first thing I remember drawing. I realized it was horses. So I combined my love for drawing people with horses. There will be another page of this coming up as well. Enjoy!!!
Hey Everyone
Here is a preview of my next Grimm Fairytale Piece featuring Snow White. I am going for a more organic painting style to my fairytale collections. So over time I'm going to redraw a couple pieces and paint them all like this and my rapunzel piece.
I found out about the Iron Giant Project a little late in the game and only had a couple days to do a piece for the project. This is the outcome. I wish I had more time to spend on it but unfortunately I had to go with this. Please check out mine and the other pieces for this movie on The Iron Giant Project Blog here: http://irongiantproject.blogspot.com/
