Moving to Tumblr.

Due to some issues with the site and some other issues, this will be my last post.
I'm not very fond of the overall feel of blogger and I my fan base here is lacking. I feel that tumblr will be easier to advertise with and thus get a larger fan base because of that.

Even though I will be switching my account, I am very happy to have this blog. It as been a blessing. Without it, I probably would have never gotten back in to drawing.

For those of you that follow me, thank you. I hope your blogging days will continue.

For those of you who are interested in following me, please find me at InSolsticeReign@Tumblr

Thanks and much Love.

Markers.

Playing around with my markers some more. I'm pretty proud of this. I just wish I could find the cord to my scanner so I can actually get a decent scan rather than having to take a picture.

No reference used this time. All from
my head. I'd attempted something similar a week or so ago but ended up messing it up due to lack of time and skill. I think I'm showing some improvement though.

Other than that, I've been trying to come up with a better layout for this blog. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with it but I do know that I'm not really that f
ond of the current set up. It's too white and simple. It just doesn't express "me" very well. I'll eventually break down and make a new one or maybe go back to the default black layout. Not really sure which I want to do but I'll figure that out later.

In other news, classes start back on Monday. I don't feel ready b
ut I don't really have much of a choice. I'm going to give it my best and hope things turn out okay. I'll
be taking a technical drawing class so hopefully I'll pick up some skills from that.

Other than that, I've just been spending my time sketch, inking, markering, and soon I'll start painting. Gotta test out my old watercolours. Anyway, sleep.

Only this moment



Sorry for the lack of updates. Been keeping up with my drawing but just haven't had the time to update. Invested in some prismacolours. All I can say is ^_^.
I wasn't too sure at first how I felt about the purchase seeing as they were super expensive (or felt that way since I'm used to using things like crayola and sharpies when it comes to markers XD) but after playing around with them, I can honestly say they were probably one of my best purchases.

Anywhoo, I decided to do some sappy couple figure drawing. I know, the hand/arm is off. I just woke up. Kind of tired/out of it, etc... (more excuses)

I'm half tempted to just crop the shoulders up and do something fancy with it. I love the way the faces look.


The second picture was just a quick concept I came up with a few nights ago. It's not exactly how I wanted it to be but I kind of kept playing with it/adding to it until this came to be.

I'm probably going to redraw it digitally at some point. Maybe.

I've been neglecting digital art now that I'm sketching again. I feel bad but honestly, it's not that big of a deal. As long as I'm drawing, I'm making progress which to me, is all that matters.

Yes, the couples are based off of certain people. >_>
I also used a reference for them. Yay for being lazy.

Last one is my dnd character. Yes, he's a guy. Yay prismacolours. Now it's time for me to take a shower and do something with the rest of my day :D

Cowboys

So my dad's birthday's today. This here cowboy happens to be his present.

Portrait of the singing cowboy, Gene Autry.
Done on a fairly large (or larger than I normally use) piece of paper with ebony pencil.

Ended up using the grid method to get it right since I'm out of practice for larger portraits.

Finally got my hands on some prismacolor markers. I'll post some stuff later on.

Gotta start getting ready for an interview. :D

Drifting.

Cutting ties with the internet for a while minus this place. I only feel comfort from posting what little art I can produce.

If I dont keep up with this, I feel like I wont have much else to work towards. This keeps me going in my time of despair.

Just a quick sketch. I felt like I needed to get this feeling out of my system. I guess this helped.

I just feel like everything I've been working towards is a lie.


Maybe I'm living a lie?

Demon

Been feelin' strange lately. Drifting in and out of reality a little which scares me. At the very least, I can cook up some intersting artwork when I'm like this.

I think I'm just stressing myself out and thinking too hard. Maybe.

I am happy with the fact that I"m playing with traditional media again. Markers are a lot of fun to use. I just wish there were an undo button sometimes. :<

I'll probably draw some more later. Got an art trade to work on. I'll probably do it digitally.

Other than that, back to being sick.

Yep.

So tired.

Started sketching on the bus the other day. I'm trying to get better with anatomy. I've got a loooong way to go though.

I've been feeling kind of ill but I've still been keeping up with my daily artings. Work is starting to become a lil' less stressful.

Ugh, so fucking tired. I feel like I haven't sleep. I need to get back on a normal sleeping schedule. It's really affecting me. x_x

woo.


I'll finish this update later.
