To the anon who asked me what tools I use to draw, and to anyone else who might be wondering:
Left to right, by segment, by row
- Watercolor paper sketchbooks, a Moleskine Cahier notebook, bond paper, and Post-Its. Pretty much any kind of paper I can get my hands on.
- Brush pens (I have 7 in different sizes), teeny brushes, fine-liners, and woodless graphite pencils from HB to 9B
- Assorted ink
- My nose-shaped sharpener and half-used eraser
- Colored pencils, pastels, crayons
- Watercolors, acrylics, and poster paint
- Adobe Photoshop CS5, a.k.a. my long-term on and off boyfriend
- Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen tablet
- 3-year-old Macbook
- Big Momma - scanner/printer/copier extraordinaire

Claudia and I just got featured on Rookie Mag - no big deal, it’s only the FIRST TIME WE’VE EVER BEEN INTERVIEWED ABOUT ANYTHING FOR A MAGAZINE EVER!!!
As avid Rookie readers, this is a HUGE deal for us, so thank you to the Rookie staff (especially the super rad Anaheed) for having us. They do a fantastic job in empowering and catering to girls and I feel so great to have taken part in what they do, even if only to a minuscule degree.
And, of course, a massive THANK YOU to Claudia for being the reason for this in the first place. You are the sweetest, craziest, funniest, most talented and hard-working girl I know! You deserve this!

New project underway! It seems my ‘productive’ summer is off to a good start (Feeling so ~hip~ now that I’m on instagram)

It’s been roughly 3 weeks since my last post, so apologies are in order for the few of you who actually read my blog. I could barely find any time to sketch with a billion school projects going on at the same time, but fear not! The school year’s almost ending and I’m really looking forward to being able to just sit down and doodle for hours on end without having to worry about any Geometry tests the next day. In the meantime, though, here are some ink portraits of my sister. Can’t wait for summer to start!

Had my birthday about six days ago, and while I (relievedly) didn’t get an MTV-esque Sweet Sixteen party, I did get some pretty nice presents!
- Clinique City Block that I’ve been keeping my eye on for months (would you please let me be a teenage girl for one minute ugh) from my little sister.
- Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon record that my dad got me when we went vinyl hunting the day before.
- Tees, also from mi padre. (Frida shirt, come at me bro)
- A Dance With Dragons, book five of George R.R. Martin’s epic A Song of Ice and Fire series from my mother-slash-fellow-Game-of-Thrones-fan-girl.
I don’t really know how to describe how I feel about being another year older. I guess it just really irks me to think that I’d be a legal adult in certain countries now that I’m 16 and I’ve “come of age” or whatever, and that fact that most strangers mistake me for a 13-year-old makes it so much weirder.
