f1ft5en

another hour another practice

gotta keep myself focused on this

need to get the drive back

hour 47

fourteen PUNCH

PUNCH IN THE FACE

okay it's bad but i did try out the brush pen and i do like it

especially for long, fast strokes

kinda messed up the font, but it kind of works for depth

will do some real practice at some point though

it is necessary

AND THE NEW THEME OF THE WEEK IS:

panels! panels! panels! (use some panels okay?)

now go and be merry

early space update of 14

i did not draw this, a friend did (or should i say "freimd")

it is 100% the best

i would post mine but i had a creative block. i did do a drawing, but i feel bad posting it here. also it gives it mysteryyyyyyy

NEW THEME WILL BE POSTED LATER TONIGHT

BE THERE FOR A PUNCH IN THE FACE, MOST LIKELY (though i have already done some sketching today)

day 13

got a few micron pens today while at artscape!

.20mm, .45mm, and two brush-pens!

and now i am trying out the brush pen and it is fun. my doodles are awful though.

tomorrow i will work on something for sure. perhaps a comic.

also, i am going to do some exercises soon.

BTW, new theme tomorrow. check it!

and if i don't post a pic tomorrow, i will punch myself in the face and put that as the pic instead.

4am update

i drew today for another 30 mins. did some space-ade. it was okay.

however, i am tired.

later will go to artscape festival! hope to pick up a brush pen (and some watercolors maybe)

hour 45

eleven - egh

i did draw today

for about 30 mins

nothing to really post here though.

BUT

i picked up more books today!

"dynamic figure drawing" by burne hogarth

and

"drawing on the right side of the brain" by betty edwards

GONNA GRAB ME SOME LEARNINGS

(and draw me some space-ades)

10|lazyday & WEEKLIES REMINDER!

no drawing today. i am a lazy-bones.

btw, if anyone has info on pen-brushes, let me know. thinking either kuretake or pentel. suggest away!

i'm thinking about getting a micron too. inking with a sharpie is okay, but the ultra-fine part sucks.

REMINDER

if you want to be a part of weekly theme weeklinesses, shoot me an email

this week's theme is "SPACE-ADE: like lemonade, but with space"

9: boom headshot

augh, this scan is TERRIBLE.

looked at this 25 expressions chart thing and decided to take a stab at some of it.

well, it's only day 9 so i still have a long way to go for improvement.

hour 44 (it took 90 mins and i did 45 minutes of doodles two days ago after the post)

day eight: muertotown edition

two hour comix!

based on a true story. i hope my friend gets a good laugh out of this. hope things turn better for ya, dude.

unfortunately, i still don't have a scanner so the low res shots will have to do.

and remember kids, get checked routinely! don't want the stids now, do ya.

hours 41 & 42

7

i drew for two hours today! this makes up for not drawing on day five, yes?

attempted panels may not be good at all, but i still enjoyed trying to do them

if you know what that symbol in the top left is, that is why i am practicing. maybe i will be good enough next year (or the year after)

drawing things without references is not the best, but it is not the worst to keep on drawing.

OH HEY ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE (all two of you or something):

i will be starting a weekly postcard sending thing. each week there is a theme and you send a 4x6 notecard to someone with a drawing based on the theme. HOWEVER, when you receive it, you draw a response to it using the theme for the new week. i will be doing this with a friend in the bay area.

this week's theme is: "SPACEADE: like lemonade, but with space"

excitement!

hours 39 and 40!

sixsixsixsixsixsix

anatomy!

as bad as it is, i like it

oh and if you recognize the pose, it is the cover for "anatomy for the artist" by sarah simblet

also i did some proto two-point perspective with a couple of quick geometric shapes, but i didn't feel like taking a photo of it

hooray

BY THE WAY:

i have been enjoying the music of Canyons of Static while i sketch

instrumental stuff is the good, and you should try it

hour 38

V

i did not draw today

oh no

did organic chemistry instead.

so i will just leave this here.

i did pick up two good reference books today

"anatomy for the artist" and "sketchbook for the artist"

i am excite to learnings!

4|4|4|4

i drew these today.

on the back of this page was a bad attempt of richard nixon.

i forgot to take a pic before this inkwork. it bled through the page. i now know to only draw on one side of the page.

the top character is "fred." i have been working on him since the beginning of high school. now i am attempting to keep the character consistent with frames.

the bottom is me about two nights ago. always awake at 3am.

hour 37

three is a boring day

i did some pose drawings today. used self photos as reference because i don't look perfect.

they wont show up well on the camera, so my word will have to do. i need a better mechanical pencil.

took a look at an arm anatomical reference that someone did as well and quickly sketched it. it turned out really bad.

i will leave you with a link to my youtube page of noise in the meantime.

tomorrow might be better! maybe!

hour 36 (yesterday was actually hour 35. oops)

two | owt

background attempt number one.

there is a little person taking a view.

the pencil does not show up well in this photo.

oh well.

(i should invest in an anatomy book)

hour 34

day one

hello.

last month i drew for 33 hours.

this month i would like to draw 37 hours. the goal is 70 hours for june/july.

it took a little over an hour i think.

no scanner yet. this will change in september.
