Hapun's Sketchbook - 4/14

**Hapun** · March 27th, 2009, 03:09 AM

Hello everyone, I'm Hapun!

I finally stopped lurking and got myself one of these sketchbook thingamajiggers.

I hope to draw comics for a living when I grow up but planning on majoring in either illustration or animation, I'm not quite sure yet.

And since I'm going to need to make a portfolio for college this year, let's cross our fingers and hope I improve enough to receive scholarships when I apply. (Arrghhhh recession *weeps*) So all critiques are welcome and appreciated!

To start off here's a quick self-portrait, I'll post some more right after this.

**areve** · March 27th, 2009, 03:17 AM

oh looking good, moremore

**Hapun** · March 27th, 2009, 03:20 AM

Some figure drawing, recent POW pages, and some embarrassingly old manga pages. (how embarassing

Couldn't post em all up)

edit: OH GAH, this system of uploading is very confusing... Sorry for the muddled mess here)

**areve** · March 27th, 2009, 04:07 AM

Nice! love your sketches, keep it up

**kayona-kim** · March 27th, 2009, 04:12 AM

You're embarrassed by those Manga pages? They're fantastic! I can't do anything like that. How did you get so darn good?

I also like the first self portrait. Nice range of fleshtones

**IanE** · March 27th, 2009, 04:21 AM

Judging from the tiny bit I've seen so far, you're really close to those scholarships! Show us more! Everything looks good - even those manga pages!

Welcome to CA and give us more to look at!

**the ANGRY filipino** · March 27th, 2009, 04:28 AM

another Sb that shows a lot of promise from the first page alone!
Lovely portrait! very nice brushwork and colors.
sketches and linework are darling as well!
I will definitely be back in here to see what you are doing.

**Mydrim** · March 27th, 2009, 04:30 AM

great! I am bookmarking, so post more

**Rudeone** · March 27th, 2009, 05:01 AM

That is a very nice portrait in your first post.
Great studies and comic pages as well. Keep 'em coming!

**Eerin** · March 29th, 2009, 02:20 PM

OMGZ you finally started a sketchbook! After a year of nudging!
Great stuff so far. I like that self-portrait a lot. Lovely play between soft and strong edges.
Continue posting!

**Bill** · March 29th, 2009, 03:01 PM

Everything so far is beautifull and very mature for someone who isn't even in college yet. Really nice.

**BubbaGump** · March 29th, 2009, 04:45 PM

Hey this is some good stuff. Those comics exhibit some nice, clear storytelling. I like the figure studies too.

**eromenos** · March 29th, 2009, 05:43 PM

Damn hobo why do you have to be so good HAPUN D: Gimme some of your talent (I CAN PROBABLY GET IT THROUGH OSMOSIS *rub rub*)

**a la bapsi** · March 30th, 2009, 06:21 PM

Moar.

**Tigermilk** · March 30th, 2009, 07:18 PM

nice, can't wait to see what you have more in store.
love the 15 min life painting.

**Kuraudo** · March 30th, 2009, 08:14 PM

nice studies and comic book as well. May I ask what art school are you applying to?

**Hapun** · March 31st, 2009, 05:38 PM

Thank you for all your kind comments everyone! (Ugh I should probably thank individually but I'm a lazy butt) It makes me feel kind of a relief haha!

Karaudo: At the moment Calarts character animation is my top choice, but I'm also planning on applying Art Center (illustration), MICA (illustration), SVA (illustration/cartooning) and Cooper Union for now.
I might actually apply to AAU since it's close to home, and i took their figure drawing + comics beginning for their summer pre-college a year or so back, but they don't seem to have a lot of scholarship opportunities. Ahaha what would you say about their program?? (Oh and what are you taking there, your art is amazzinnnggggg *weep*)

Lots of sketches in this update, not much finished work

There's some concepts for comics here and there in these.

WHY YOU BE SO GOOD! I love your backgrounds and people so much movement and so cool +_+

**NateShaw** · March 31st, 2009, 10:12 PM

Awesome work! I wish I was half as good as you are now when I started college.

**Eerin** · April 1st, 2009, 01:16 AM

I already told you in person, I think, but just to make it official: I LOVE those environments you posted up. Are they from mind or reference?

By the way, what was the name of that environment book Eromenos and I saw in your room? It was so awesome.

**Leo Ki** · April 1st, 2009, 05:00 AM

Wow, just wow!.....
If you want to keep in touch with comics fellows on conceptart, have a look at the sequential art ring (in my signature)

NateShaw Thank you for you kind words!

Eerin I think I showed it to you, it's of akadotretail though.

Leo Ki Thank you! And I really need to post something in that ring...

Grandmassa Mr. Spect Me too! Too bad it doesn't seem to get that much loving around the CA forums... I'll have some to post up here eventually!

Anyway, some post-prom sketches. I'm still incredibly tired...
Hopefully I'll have tons of stuff next week during my break!

ARGH just realized that my pages are somewhat thin... I'll have to keep that in mind in the future.

**courtyard** · April 7th, 2009, 12:48 AM

Unbelievable. CalArts would be mad not to take you--I think your work would fit in perfectly there, judging from other portfolios I've seen. Really looking forward to future updates.

**Eerin** · April 7th, 2009, 02:36 AM

Lovely update. Love the hand studies and the reclining position of the girl. Straight out pen? o:

Share some of the prom portraits you drew if you have any =)

**beigeape** · April 7th, 2009, 05:24 AM

heh, excellent stuff, your self portrait is really beautiful, and, really well done, great colors and blending, cheers for the post

**PieterV** · April 7th, 2009, 05:33 AM

Nice work, I'll keep an eye on this one

**meticulous** · April 7th, 2009, 07:57 AM

Like your sketchbook studies - *and I'm with Eerin - hands and that reclining girl are really good

*Like your enviro ideas too - (and of course your comic book style pages were the freaking shiz

) Keep posting - I'll be back!

**Carg0re** · April 9th, 2009, 04:50 PM

**zeo-x** · April 9th, 2009, 05:40 PM
