Spooky Sketches

This week to celebrate the Halloween season we had a candy 

character contest where everyone designed characters 

inspired by Halloween candy. The winner 

won a pumpkin bucket of candy and the runner up won 

a handful of candy.

The winner of the contest was Gigi Wang 

with her candy design.

The runner up was Paige Hall with her 

root beer candy design.

Everyone else had wonderful designs as well.

Expressions!

This week, our pal Jinny went to Disney Inspire day!!

You can read about her experiences on her blog. 
She also included notes on portfolios, resumes,

and the WDAS production pipeline.

So Hillary and I led the group in sketching expressions!

We used this site because of the extreme reactions.
