A Sort of Freedom

I'm not sure why I never did it before...it's a sort of fear I propose, of mine anyway, a fear of drawing something that looks so horrible and incoherent to true anatomy or physical objects.

Today I went on a scribble spree, I made lines, pen constantly laying down ink in scuffs, and when the dust cleared I found I liked what I saw better than my normal sketches or studies. However, it doesn't seem to work yet with drawing from things I can physically see, I do best in this style if I'm drawing from my mind.

Most of these took from 10-45 seconds with no initial layout pass.

Also, here is a hipster bear.

Crispy Soggy Pebbles

My cereal box for digital illustration. I pulled the name "Crispy Soggy Pebbles".

William Knows

A new illustration I'm working on, it's entitled William Knows. Oh, and a big fail on that drawing a day thing, maybe some other time..

I've been faithfuuuuuuul

I swear I've been doing a drawing a day, they just haven't been digital. Here's the thing...I no longer have photoshop on my comp, and I need to buy a copy from the school...let the real physical drawings begin! I'll post them soon enough.

Color Sketches

I think this might be exactly what I need. I've been putting it off for so long for a couple reasons: 1. I really don't like working directly from reference, and I always feel like I'm wasting my time when all I feel like I made is a duplicate of the photo.
2. I'm not that great at lighting most of the time and therefore I don't really like doing it.

These past artistic guests have inspired me however, and I've decided that I'll give it a shot. Both of these are pictures of friends that I have taken, I'll do some building and landscape ones next. These took from 7-10 minutes. And yes, he was making a pretty bizarre face.

Daily...Sort of

So I guess I'm starting on Monday...haha.

Pascal is a man

Just like the title says. This man has skills, he has completely mastered the art of simplicity and emotion. SO, like everyone else and their mom I'm going to try my hand at some Pascalian sketches. I also think it's humorous that not too long ago I posted that abstract simplicity painting.
15 minutes, I aint as fast as he is. I'm going to TRY, TRY to post a sketch a day, even if it's super sucky. Also, I've found a new simple (but very informational) past time; I'm going to call it light snacking, it's where I open the color dropper window, open a photograph, and sample the lights and darks of different materials to see where they fall in reference to saturation and darkness.
