Day 3: Favorite Food

You probably could have guessed this based on my first drawing. I mean, I love ice cream. Love it. Of the seven deadly sins, mine is gluttony... for ice cream. It's a wonder I don't weigh 200lbs by now based on how much ice cream I eat regularly. Anyways. I was kind of stuck on what to do with this drawing to make it interesting... in the end... it wasn't interesting. What would've you tried? Maybe I should add a... frog? /sigh

Day 2: Favorite Animal

 

I know this is a day late, but it's done, right?

Dolphins- I've always loved dolphins. They are such intelligent creatures, it's obvious if you've ever had the pleasure of meeting one. Odd creatures too, I can understand why old sailors mistook them for various mythical beings. 

For this one I played with the markers I could find lying around. In retrospect I failed at the dark gray markers but I like what I did up in the top left with the water. It's a start, at least. Markers are something I've only dabbled in but the results here were... ok. I still need to work more at it, it seems. I had the upper hand here, however because I've been drawing dolphins since 6th grade obsessively. Let's just keep that between you and me.

Day 1: Draw Yourself

So, I was going to do something artsy with like, emotional lines and me looking off in the distance. But than I was like NAAAH I'll do a self-portrait that describes me rather than depict me... to a degree :) I'm hoping I captured a bit of likeness. Oh, and before you get carried away, I'm wearing a swimsuit! And, I always walk around with the top of my shorts folded over when I wear one. I swear!

Feel free to comment! Also, I know I struggled with the right arm. I know. Pointing that out isn't constructive. How to fix it, is.

30 Day Art Challenge

I have found it, my new goal. It's a 30 Day Art Challenge! Of course, I will start some classes in the mix, so hopefully I can keep the ball rolling. I would've like it to include color, but unfortunately I don't have Photoshop atm and not enough copic markers to make it look good. Hopefully I can get my CS5 suite up and running before the challenge ends!

Today will be the first day of the challenge. I hope you're as excited as I am!

A Fresh Start

So, here goes nothing. I am going to start blogging. Not posting stuff when I need the overflow, like legitimately posting regularly. This is in an attempt to get more active with my artwork. Of course, it might help if I had some art work to show, but in the meantime, stick with me!

We're shooting for at least one art-related post a week. If that doesn't happen, feel free to complain.
