I did promise progress shots of my painting, didn’t I?
Behold, my workspace: the kitchen table! Pretty much disables people from eating proper meals whenever I have a plate to do. Lovely. Reference picture, canvas with underpainting, loads of scratch paper, newspaper… check.
To prepare myself for doing the “What I Desire” Super Charity GO! commission, though I realize I should have probably went for a full body thing to practice realism with, huh?
Gotta fix up what goes where, liven up the colors, and smoothen the shading out. I’ve already spent an hour on this without realizing it. Cool. I don’t really do realism portraits often so I guess this is still a good thing to practice.
It’s also my answer to a repeat of a meme. I love that I can do that meme over and over with more people. I’m totally being way hardcore about it. If I’m going to use the meme to practice, I may as well go all the way, darn it!
That took entirely too long. I am so scared to do the face. You have no idea. I am about to go shade that right now! … after I take a sip from my cup of coffee.
When there’s coffee, you know it’s serious business.
A commission in progress for someone who donated at Super Charity GO! Do check it out, you guys! You can get art for heart’s sake! 
I finally got the chance to scan in the last of my sketches for this challenge. While I bombed the challenge, it turns out I sketched a lot less than I thought I did! Maybe the rest was schoolwork. Weird.
Apologies but I am down with some form of flu/cold right now so I don’t have much to say. There’s at least one thing here I haven’t scanned (finishing it up) and these aren’t in order but here we go.
Black Jack sketch! Was supposed to be for my personal 10media challenge, but I think I’ll change it. Still, I want to try rendering this in ink wash anyway.
HELLO!
Same guy from one of my last posts. His name is DJ Blue Sky. I think I’m getting a little somewhere with his design, but I’ll have to look up that fancy thang you people call “fashion” so I can really bring out whatever idea for him is swimming around in my head. 
I also need to draw more full-body figures that are in action. I know he looks a bit stiff. I’ll try using reference next time I don’t draw him during class breaks.
I will try to get some photos of my figure drawing plates up soon!
And we’re back! I decided to use a premade Wordpress theme for now because the almighty ones know that if I insisted on doing my own, it would probably take me years to reopen this sketchblog. Past posts on LJ moved in? Check. New name, new look, and hopefully better artwork.
I was intending to make a new sketch specifically for this post but unfortunately I have a couple of plates I need to finish within the next week. Have a sketch I did a couple of days ago instead.
He’s one of my newer original characters that I’m still trying to give a face and personality to, and this is why I should have reference when I draw. I might make a better version of this once I get decent reference (and complete his costume!)
My goal for this year is to draw more often, but I know that if I set the goal to “draw every day for this year”, I’ll probably set myself up for disappointment. So I’m going to start small: I’m going to try to draw everyday for a week, first.
Boy is it cold here. My hand have been hurting lately probably due to so much digital work (and maybe a bit of games on my part). I hope this is nothing serious!
Okay. Wow. I’m really bad at updating anything in the world, aren’t I? Including fansites and other places. Then again, I always bite off more than I can chew. At least I start stuff? :D;
Here’s a really random (big!) sketch dump from the first semester of my college sophomore year. This isn’t all of what I’ve been doodling, I probably have a couple more. I still need to make a sketchdump of the doodles I did in my freshman year!
I probably won’t make as many comments as I used to, since I think that’s why it takes me so long to do updates. Just a heads-up in case anyone wonders why I’m not as much of a babblefish as I usually am.
This is how I am most of the time. Durp. :B
Eee. I’m so happy to be drawing like mad again! Now if only my hand didn’t ache so much right now because of online enlistment…
This time, we have a few quick realism sketches, Less Talk, More Robots art (one of Nathan, and one of Glynn), a Daft Punk sketch (as humans~ ♥), some inking practice, and more webcomic style experimentation… as usual.
Here we go: some inking practice, because I watched Steven Sanchez’s Inking Tutorial. I never thought of doing it that way unless I was doing some dramatic shading.
Well, what do you know! An update that isn’t a week after!
I’m trying to get out of my drawing rut. Hence, lots of doodles.
In this update, I have some style experimentation, some of which are for the hopefully upcoming webcomic, and some fan-art for the games Sonic, Klonoa, and Silhouette Mirage.
Tails! ♥ In a fit of sleeplessness, hunger, and with caffeine in my system… somehow, my wrist and drawing movements became much more loose and ‘free’. I’ve always ‘known’ from teachers telling me that drawing quickly and more loosely brings out more life in drawing, but… this is the first time I’ve really experienced it. Funny, considering how much I like to quick doodle.
But before that, here are some sketches from yesterday morning: how I usually doodle.
