Doodling. I stopped the illustration challenge because I was forcing something that wasn’t working and wasn’t me. Trying to get back into the swing of drawing recreationally along with design and illustration homework. Practicum started up this semester kinda excited kinda nervous. Theatre poster is the first project.

I get really upset that there is a big difference from the illustration that I like and the illustration that I do.

Le sigh.

Day 4 An Animal You Think Is Cute

I enjoy watching finches at the bird feeder.

edit: I fixed the coloring. I wanted to spend some time on this one since I haven’t finished the last two, and I ended up spending a lot of time on it. However, this is the first digital painting that I have done that I haven’t completely hated so thats good haha.

Hmm I’m not very good at this, am I? Well I’m starting a 30 day drawing challenge that will I hopefully will stick to.

I’m most comfortable with pencil and paper but I hope to work with other mediums durring this endeavor, especially digital. It is the media that I have the least experience with, and some of my favorite illustrators use it exclusively.

I also hope to bring some conceptual aspect to the images I make as well, I would prefer them to not just be doodles.

So yeah… No new posts in a while… My scanner has been down, but that is just an excuse. To be honest I haven’t been drawing much. I have recently done a logo for a local egg farmer (is that what you call them? I also need to finish it :/ ) and tried to get back to drawing. But I haven’t been super successful. However, I have become obsessed with reading again, mainly comic books (mainstream and independent, I am currently collecting the Hellboy Collections). I have decided I really want to learn more about comics, drawing them, the style, how to depict the human form more easily, and the story telling. So, since I don’t have a teacher or a magic book/program that says “this is how to comic book,” I have decided to start copying those that influence me, and, in turn, absorb some of their accumulated knowledge. I have done one tonight of this image by scienceninjakid and I am pleased with how it turned out, the angles and proportions are a little off, but still good for my first go at it. Granted this is a COPY (I hate how bad I am with drawing from my imagination). I am waiting to hear from scienceninjakid if it is ok that I post the image here, as soon as I hear back I’ll let you guys know.
