So, here we go. Round two. I'm fairly happy with this.

Saw this ball jointed doll the other day after browsing a Vampire Hunter D fansite.

All I've got to say is. FFFFFFFF. I wish I had a grand to blow on that fucking doll. Not that I even really need it but still.

After seeing it, I decided to start drawing. My love of this fandom is pretty much retarded. Kind of like this stupid spell checker in Chrome that corrects my horrible slang.

BUT ANYWAY...

I really feel the need to get a decent scan of this but it'll have to wait until I'm not lazy and I can actually get my scanner to work.

Now, after that I of course have to start drawing my favorite thing in the world to draw when I can't think of anything better to draw.

One word. Boobs.

I reaaaally like to draw the female body. I think it's probably my favorite thing in the world to draw besides a pretty face. I mean, look at dem curves and dat ass.

How can you go wrong with that? :D

I ended up using a reference at first and I really couldn't get it to look the way I want. I ended up just taking what I had and tweeking it to be something better.

But yeah. I'm tired.

Here's some art.

Be happy.

Yep.

Goodnight world.

A new year

A new year brings more new art. Woo. I'm starting to run out of ideas for drawings. I'm getting ready to start an art trade with a friend so hopefully that'll spark some new ideas.

I know I need more ideas to draw but it's really getting difficult. I guess I s

hould start sketching up some anatomy. I just feel like my sketchbook is still really empty and that everything in it thusfar, is not quality work.

Due to the fact that I've been using a tablet for so long, I feel as though I draw far too small for such a large surface area. I've noticed that it really does kill your ability to fill up a huge amount of space. Not really sure how to combat that but I guess I'll figure it out in time. As for the sketch to the left, it's just another random face sketch. Woo. I took the original and basically give it more depth for a more dramatic feel. Yay.

I also decided to give perspective a try again. Needless to say, I failed miserably. I haven't really attempted since my senior year of highschool, oh so long ago. I guess that would explain why I'm so fucking horrible at it.

Oh well. ENJOY THIS FAILVETTE.

I guess if I keep at it, I'll eventually get the hang of it. I'll be attempting again at a later time to see if I can manage to do something worthy. Anywho, I'm tired and it's been a long day so...

Dita: over and out.

Sketchbook.

Finally bought a decent sketchbook that I can carry around with me.

Went on a shopping sp

ree at Michael's and found a lovely hardback cover sketchbook for only 10 dollars. Ended up decorating it to make it look fancy. (dinosaurs and glitter lulz)

I'll post pics of it at a later time when I'm not lazy.

Anywhoo.

First decent sketch in my book.

Fairly proud of it plus everyone else seems to enjoy it. I think I'm off to a good start.

Just gotta keep making myself draw. Going to start bringing my new sketchbook to work so I can start workong on some drawings when I'm on break.

I spend far too much time sitting around doing nothing anyway so it'll be good for me. XD

Also figured I'd go ahead and toss this silly sketch in for the hell of it.

Everyone loves Panera! (yeah dont give me shit for that statement >:O)

I mean, I love Panera. It's probably one of my favorite places to eat simply because I adore the food. Don't care much for the atmosphere but it's better than a lot of places.

What better way to enjoy a meal than create a silly lil' weeaboo mascot in honour of the delicious meal?

Anywhoo, I just took my melatonin. It's time to sleep. Goodnight world.

Birthday presents

Been meaning to work on this all week. Finally got the time to do so today.

Digital painting is starting to get a little easier which is pleasing. It's not as smooth as I want it to be but it's getting there.

I guess I should start doin' more requests. This was a birthday/xmas present for my friend Kim. Portrait of her to be exact.

Portrait was done in Open Canvas 1.1.

Reference was used.

I can't really think of much else to post about other than I did also complete a few sketchs.

I'll be posting them within the next few days when I can get access to a camera or to a scanner of some sort.

Anywho,

Ciao~

Christmas adventures

So, after coming up with that silly drawing in my previous post, I decided to recreate it in real life.

The picture to the left is the resul

t. I'm pretty pleased with it although we couldn't get many shots due to the lack of good lighting. Damn short winter days. :(

I'm still waiting on the rest of the photos to be edited so we'll see what comes of them.

In other news, I started working on some presents for a couple of my co-workers. I wanted to take the time and work on some art. I figured this would be a good excuse for doing so.

Whenever I decide to draw as a gift, it tends to be quite the fun challenge. I feel as though it's a test of how well I know the p

erson I'm drawing for.

One of my co-workers has a strange love for the scaly and strange. She's housed several different animals ranging from falcons to turtles.

Her most recent and loved pet as far as I can see is her bearded dragon.

I figured this would be a fun thing to draw. All of the scales on top of the fact that reptiles are just strange but interesting creatures overall.

After working on this, I do see the similarities in that of reptiles and birds.

I really wouldn't mind getting a bearded dragon of my own. They're so damn cute. @_@

My other co-worker is a very lovely lady who seems to find a love of Madonna.

I searched around for a decent picture that I felt would also look presentable as a gift.

I really wanted to stick with a younger Madonna and finally, after about 15 minutes or more of searching, I came across the photo which I used for the reference.

That neck. Dear god, it was a bitch to draw. I'm usually okay with profile views but this was a little bit of a challenge on top of the fact that I haven't been working with traditional media very much in the past few months.

Overall, I am very pleased with the work I've accomplished over the past week. I feel that I am improving atleast a bit.

A new year is about to begin and I can only hope that I'll be able to improve more. :)

Fotos

While chillin' at Ari's, I decided to be a drawfag. Managed to do a silly digital painting.

Started off as just a stupid sketch.

brb cookie break.

OKAY.

Back from cookie break.

Basically, I'm trying to get better at digital painting and I feel the only way I'll improve at this point is to start off with a traditional sort of style.

Aka, ONE LAYER, BITCHES.

I love doing one layer paintings. I know it's a bad habit but I mean... back in the day when I was messin' around with oil paints, ONE LAYER K?

I'm halfway awake and this post is ridiculous. Enjoy this speedpaint. I may mimic it later in a photoshoot.

Shame on me. I haven't been keeping up with my blog. I also haven't been keeping up with my art like I should be.

I've been doing artistic thing though, I promise. Had a photoshoot with Jess on Tuesday that was fairly successful (minus the well that continued to attack us). I'll post pics when I get home.

Right now though, I'm on Peter's old laptop.
Guess what I found?

An old WIP that I feel is good enough to post.

So here we go. :3

This is something I am extremely proud of. I only wish I would've finished it. Who know.. maybe I'll actually take the time to finish it up?

Maybe? :D

Or maybe not.

>_>

Anywhoo. Sleep.
