Hello productivity!

Unfortunately, unlike about half of the USC population, I'm not spending my spring break in Cabo (1. because I'm broke and 2. because my thesis is calling to me), but waking up at around 5-6am to work at the campus center and crank out some art for my portfolio-

I also updated my website!!!! check it out here :D

Here is a glimpse of my mornings for the past few days- the campus center is surprisingly chilly in the mornings, aaaand I have been snacking on cheerios/carrots/earl grey tea for the past 5 hours.

side note- did you know that Coke Zero is surprisingly good at giving you an energy boost?? Within 5 minutes of drinking it I get this energy spazz attack and suddenly get super focused. Allow me to demonstrate:

Thank you, Coke Zero, for the sugar rush

But anyways, I've been really productive so far, which makes me really happy! I forgot how much I really really liked drawing because I've been so busy with USC work that I haven't had time to doodle much. It makes my 8-hour shifts go by super fast and I still don't seem to have enough time. In the past 2-3 days I got a lot done on Noemi and the overall look for the thesis:

start of coloring process

I also got to work on some ideas for Noemi's gloomy neighborhood and what I would like the general color/mood to be.
