I have been sketching! Promise!

Nothing really out of the ordinary - just experimenting with cartoon portraiture here a little more. I like to go to the park and sketch people there. 


The next two are from an ongoing project I'm doing that I may tell you about soon ;)  I'm pretty excited about it!


I also have been drawing more nudes - I feel like if I want to draw with real distinction and detail, in traditional art or more cartoony stuff, I should get to know the human body. That being said, I understand that not everybody agrees with this, so I'm going to stick those under a cut on my entries. If you want to see my progress with life drawing, go ahead and click on the "***More***" link below.

Profiling

Guess I'm excited about sketching today. Tried a new technique for drawing the human profile. Kinda fun!

Witchy Woman

So I'm gonna post at least one sketch every other day for the Summer, 'kay? OK.


I have this funny tendency to sketch portraits of imaginary people at this angle. Maybe I'm afraid of drawing right eyes...

Eating your own face

So, being as boring and totally sane as you all know I am, I have thought since the age of mmmm maybe 14 that doing a self-portrait in candy would be a good idea - which it TOTALLY is.

But, since my best friend's birthday was coming up and she happens to be the type of person that gives others cavities just by giggling, I figured that she would be a better subject for this kind of medium.

Happy Birthday, E <3

massive sketch dump

When I said I was bad at updating regularly, I meant it. I don't like making excuses, so I'll skip right to the sucking up.

sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.
sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.sorry.

sorry.

onto the doodles!


Some tree roots in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Eyelid practice and graffiti flotsam.


More graffiti flotsam.
This was actually the sketch for the window mural we did last Halloween.
A Danielle-ized version of the creation of Adam, as painted by the awesome Michelangelo (not a ninja or a turtle).
This one was mostly just an excuse to draw the "happy" meal in the bottom left corner. The rest of the doodles just sort of drew themselves. And no, I don't know why Uncle Vernon is there. ...hmm... I just looked at this again, and I realized that I need to 'splain some other things. the pictograph on the bottom is "eye sea ewe P". Why, yes - my sense of humor is rather sophisticated. Then we have Emo clown shooting peter pan in the ear. And then the ever ominous Monacle Man - he likes to pop up on my math homework.
She kind of just drew herself. I had seen this girl on campus earlier in the day, and her face just stuck with me.

Rachel, the Disney-princess



A little Disney-inspired number I did to thank my recent roomie, Rachel, for not killing me in my sleep :)
I've been getting a lot of requests to draw and design things lately. Maybe I can figure out a way of making money off of this new found popularity so I can eat this fall...haha...ha....ha....ahhhh....

GO GO Gadget-external-defillibrator!

ahem. so yeah. I suck at updating blogs. this is not new. but I have been drawing, and that's good... ahem...


I've been wanting to do a semi-realistic Inspector Gadget series for awhile, and I did a quick sketch of the Inspector himself that I'm starting to like:

It was only like a ten minute sketch, but I plan to evelop it further - it's Gadget kickin' back with a good book after a tough day of busting some bad guys.

because I was out of matches.

Therefore it stands to reason that the only other way of destroying my music theory book is by bludgeoning it with my flute.



....I need to post stuff that takes me more than 2 minutes to draw... ah well.

Fortitude -rough draft 1-

Since I wanted to post something every week, I figured I should try and show a progression of one piece so that I could focus on getting my ideas refined instead of settling for quick sketches. After all, that's what I started this for, right?
This is just something I caught myself doodling on my computer last Sunday after I read something in a very special book :)
