So I started up a Webcomic. ..

I guess that counts for drawing every day, eh?
It's just a scribbly little thing for me to work on. I've just been drawing them up at night, so they barely count for they day I'm posting them. . .*shrugs* Whatever.
Here it is!
It's called Rapid Fire, more on account of it being friggin' hard to pop on out every day on my schedual. A nice little challenge though - and so far I'm enjoying it.

Nekkid Lady


From this month's Draw Jam on DrawingBoard. Wasn't too keen on the look of the model, but thought I would give it a shot. The hair in the face was a bit of a pain in the ass - kind of wish I hadn't been so literal with it.
I am pretty happy with her hands - what I drew anyways. Slowly but surely I'll get this!

A Buddy of Mine...


...from highschool - I've been talking to him a fair bit lately. Quickie sketch from a photo - scanned crooked. It's not great but it's something. . .

So I drew Something. . .


Myself?

A five minute sketch from a photograph - There's lots wrong, I know. It felt good to get the hand moving again though. I should try this "drawing" thing more often?

Yarr. . . .
I ain't been practica-in'
I've been accepted to school for the fall - I'll be attending for Art and Desing Fundamentals. Seeing as how I'll be super busy with work and school, I have decided to commit to my knitting for the summer and try and finish all that I can. I'm itching to draw again, but alas, everything I churn out is garbage.
Oh. . .the shame. . . *winks*

Spooky John Revisited


Complete!

Hanging on my wall as we speak.

Only problem is. . . it's creepy. I don't know if this is the

type of thing I -want- on our bedroom wall. We'll have to give it some time, I guess.

I keep having troubles when I photograph it - being that it constantly looks bottom-heavy. I assure you it looks much creepier. . I mean better. . . in real life. Anyways, I bought a whole slew of canvases at Curry's yesterday, so expect more paintings!

Creepy Painting of John on Sofa - Unfinished


Very Spooky painting of the boy - Taken from a photo I took of him being silly on the sofa. Not yet finished, started last night. I'll post the finished result when it's all wrapped up. This is my first "proper" painting in probably about a year? Yeah, about a year plus.
I still need to work on his hair (not so much forehead) keep going with the hand and bump up the shading on his face. The outline of his face needs trimming on the left hand side, left a little extra to work the background on. Speaking of which, haven't totally decided on the background yet. It's couch, but I don't know to what level yet.
Lots of general tweaking to be done.
P.S. Thundercats makes awesome background noise for portrait painting. Make note.
