Camera's Broken..

.. so I scanned this stuff.

I wonder if anyone has done this before..

...if so, I'd like to see.
I'm definitely redoing this on bristol, for a smoother and bigger final draft. Or maybe this is the final draft..

Yay and slightly nay

I finally finished that portrait. I like it.. but a big part of me doesn't really. It took me a while.. that's all I have to say.
Graphite on Lucky Charms cereal box. Who says digging through FC trash in front of everybody during announcements doesn't pay off?

Every drawing that you see on here looks better in person. That, however, doesn't promise it's a good picture in real life. There are so many things I have to critique about it that I'll just stop here.

A Work in Progress

Yes, a work in progress. Did this last night. I'm doing it in a sketchbook right now.. just to see if completing my full idea on bristol would be a waste of time and nice paper.
I don't understand why my camera insists on making the white paper look yellow.. but just so you know.. this isn't tinted paper. I wish it were, though.

Figuratively speaking

This is the kind of stuff that I can't go show off to my mom. I'm fearing her reaction when/if we go visit The Academy. The cast hall, which is my dream, would be her worst nightmare. It's filled with wonderful casts of oh-so-many nudes. So perfect for anatomical study. Aaaaah.
The other day, Howard Currie.. the man of my childhood/ a great friend of art, was showing me some things on the computer. Of course, figurative was most of the stuff he showed me, because it's one of the most important you can depict as an artist. So all over the screen, in Levia and Shannon's eyes were naked women and men. Of course, I didn't care.. but it would of been interesting if mom or dad would have come down in curiosity of what me and Mr. Currie were talking about- and then saw that. Ohhhh, hypothedicality can be so colorful.
Anyway.... OBVIOUSLY unfinished. But, I'm still proud of it. I couldn't finish because the sun had gone down... as usual. What's with that, anyway? The whole sun going away and brightening other part of the world's day... doesn't it know that I need about an hour more to draw? Pshaw.

Maybe some more figure stuff tomorrow.. we'll see.

It's been a while. (No, I'm not into Incubus that much.)

It's been a while since I've posted. Yes, I've been drawing. Not so much painting. It's been mainly sketches, which is why I haven't been posting them. I did do something that I am so very proud of. It took me two nights to complete because I had to have lighting that matched.. plus it was just overall very challenging. It's an eggplant... and a banana pepper. I honestly did my best on this one (even though the pepper is ugly). Which is why it's like one of the first things that I've actually been proud of. Now, I can feed my hungry portfolio. I do wish, though, that I had a finer grained paper, rather than medium.. which is what this is on.


For once, I signed it.. even though it turned out bitty.





I plan to do something good tonight.. who knows what that will be. So if I don't post tonight, you have the right to scold me. Also, I will be posting more often.. because I need to.
