Tatyana Drewry Carvin: Drawings!

A character based on a dear friend of mine, Laura Junger!

She's a fantastic illustrator, you can find her work here: http://loragearrive.fr/

Lately, I've been playing with a cool multi color pen that a friend of mine brought me from Japan! Here are a few samples of the sketches I've been doing with it on my commutes to work:

An other composition on human beings from my sketch book that I called "People are Awesomely Weird". I cleaned that one up in Photoshop. Hope you'll like it! :

I did this composition of couples in my sketch book while commuting to work and wanted to clean it up in Photoshop to share it here. Love is beautiful:

I love to draw on the metro every day! Here are a few samples of sketches I do on my commute to work. You can check out more raw sketches here: http://tatyanadrewrycarvin.blogspot.com/

The metro was so empty that day, so I came up with some imaginary commuters' faces:

Sometimes I don't feel like drawing people as I see them on the bus, so I trace imaginary lines as I'm looking at them and try to recreate their volumes by memory later on. Here's a sample of that kind of experiment:

Visual Developement: : My husband and his brother are writing a book together! I did this image based on their story. I don't usually do a lot of heavy photoshop work, so this one took me out of my comfort zone.

Sketch Book Pages : Here's a few sketch book pages that I worked in Photoshop for fun. By the way, I usually put raw sketch book images in here : http://tatyanadrewrycarvin.blogspot.com/ Go check it out! Lately, I'm having a blast working on combining anatomical shapes .... I may look like a creep because I just draw anatomy all the time... but it's truly the best way for me to learn about shape language and volume....

Anatomy warm up : Before I start work, I like to do some warm up sketching in flash. Here is a small glimpse :

Me and Jérémie working hard onto some animations ;) We each have a very different way to work :

Drawings for friends : A few drawings I did for people I love!:

My little sister Kenza just turned 21, she is incredibly inspiring and talented. I tried to represent her

in this sketch :

My coworker, Kris Toscanini, has an amazing family:

My dear friend Helene Grotans is a super talented violinist. She's so passionate and so gorgeous! Oh and she knows beer more than anyone else! I did this sketch of her for her Bday!:

I did this sketch of my dear friends Laurene Braibant, Vaiana Gauthier and Elsa Duhammel. They are wonderful human beings and artists, you should check out their work online for a serious dose of inspiration!:

My mother Birgit Yew is an endless source of inspiration. I did these sketches of her dancing with her Cello for her Birthday:

My neighbor Mohammed and his friend Claude are doing beautiful poetry and music together. I did this sketch of them at one of their show:

My friend Samuel Claiborn is such a super star, I made that drawing for his Bday:

Jérémie and I won a price for the Metro Contest in L.A thanks to that drawing. For a while, this drawing was shown on the screens of every bus running in the city. The theme of the contest was "corruption" :
