I don't know why I have such a hard time updating this thing, but I just do.

Anyways, I'm thinking of maybe not posting all my sketches anymore... maybe just the more interesting ones? There's a lot of shit. But then I'm worried I"ll lose my motivation. Although looking at some of my recent sketches it doesn't really seem to make a difference.

In any case, here's today's!:



I'm going to try and buy some markers soon and get back into those quickie fashion illustration type things.... so fun to do. I'm currently reading a biography of Isabella Blow (written by her husband) and it's just soo interesting. So much mention of armor-y clothes, so I got a little inspired. Not that you can really tell since it's pretty much just a doodle.

Oh well! I'll upload a few sketches soon but I don't think I'll be posting all off them anymore.


Still waiting to hear back if I got into university or not.

Fingers crossed!!!

WIPs

I haven't updated in a while, so I will be posting some WIPs! Well really one. I haven't been working on a whole lot the last week. I've been soo busy!

I've been working on a Buffy fanart for a while. I started with a sort of shitty idea and it wasn't turning out too well (see the below picture). I probably had that going on and off for about three months and finally decided to just scrap it.



I started the newest one a couple of weeks ago. I think it's turning out a lot better. It still doesn't really look exactly like Sarah Michelle Gellar's face, but it's the closest I've got so far! I feel pretty good about it right now, for my skill level at least. Not to say I'm not trying to push myself! I hope to have it done by the end of the week.



Hope to also be doing some acrylic painting this week. See you later!

75

It's been awhile!

Not too many interesting sketches unfortunately.
I feel like I might get a lot of work done in the next few days!I've got a sort of interesting idea for a painting to start tomorrow...

Anyways, let's just blast through the sketches of the last couple of weeks since there's really nothing too interesting in there XD

So it's all the way back to march 4th....



5th




6th




7th




8th




9th




10th




Watched Memoirs of a Geisha that day and created this horrible sketch. A sad coincidence, while I was watching the movie I kept thinking how gorgeous the scenery was and how much I want to visit Japan one day. Of course with no idea what would happen the next day! It's hard to believe the devastation that can happen in a matter of hours.

11th




12th




Yeah, I know.

13th




14th




15th




And today's




Actually today's is a character I'm sort of working with for a story I'm thinking about (...?). I'd like to make the character more interesting looking though!

I'm feeling so jittery right now from all the coffee I've been drinking that my hands are shaking! XD maybe cut back on the coffee??
I'll leave you now befor e this becomes willed with the typos I've been trying to correct! XD

Oh No!

I finally missed a day! :O Last saturday, february 26th! I knew I would too, which is the worst part XD I could have drawn earlier in the day to make up for it but I forgot. I'm starting to get into the habit of drawing and painting earlier in the day, before I have the chance to feel lazy. I think it's working!

To make up for the missed day, I did two sketches on the 27th. But first my little doodle from the 25th.


I guess I just wanted to burn peoples' eyes with my colours!

My first sketch of the 27th wasn't too awesome either:



I remember when I tried to do one sketch per day a few years ago and I'd force myself to draw a girl one day, a guy the next, just because I'm so prone to drawing women. They are just sooo much easier to draw for some reason! Anyways, I guess I've thrown that out the window now.

My second 'sketch' is really a speedpaint. A landscape! I know! The inspiration just came to me!
How many years it'll be, I wonder, until my next landscape. I wouldn't even call this a proper landscape. More like an abstract something.



February 28th was the day after the Oscars, I thought I'd do evening gowns.



Nothing special for March 1st.


I also did a sketch of a wizard because there was a Lord of the Rings category on Jeopardy XD

Yesterday's sketch was Helena Bonham Carter, referenced from a picture in W magazine. I love her! This was so fun to do.



And lastly is a quick charcoal sketch from this morning. The actual drawing is 14x17. I don't know why I did it so big, and not on just a regular piece of paper!



See you next time!
