I LOVE PROLONGED UNANNOUNCED HIATUSES. :D j/k. but. yeah. I should upload more stuff :(
I watched Diana draw at AWA. :D She draws uber clean lines with 1 stroke, so I tried it. AND IT LOOKS SO MUCH CLEANER. :D haha. Not that I can really compare though. I drew the basket sketchy at first because I had no idea how to draw a bread basket. Everything else was drawn in a single stroke. Yay!
Just a quick post before I go to sleep. :D
Har. I FAIL AT DRAWING DOGS. :( but I got better at it, I guess. haha. The guy has really long legs (that's what the Japanese on the left means). He's saying "Na?" HAR.
I drew this a few days ago. I just wanted to draw some goggles on someone. His posture didn't turn out quite the way I hoped it would, and his clothes are... the same clothes I draw every time. So it was kind of interesting drawing some parts of it, otherwise it was pretty boring. :( hehe.
Anyway, good night
Hee. Drew this while watching people play Karaoke Revolution. Took a couple tries to get the hand, and it still feels kind of chubby to me. I didn't know exactly how to draw the rest of her body. :( doom.
That's all, I guess. Haha.
NOoooo I waited since I wanted to scan more stuff in to post, and now I'm late. :( lol. And I also got too lazy to scan the other pictures in. D:
Anyway, I really like how this came out! :D I totally thought I'd screw up, but... I didn't. :O haha. I'm kind of surprised at how well it came out. I really want to try coloring it! But I left my tablet at home. NOOOOooo. :( lol. Doom. Maybe later then. hehe.
I DIDN'T NOT UPDATE BECAUSE I WAS LAZY. Not at all. Well, I usually drew, but whatever came out was crappy. For the most part though, I just forgot to scan stuff in and post it, so I'll just dump a lot of pictures now. :D There are more but I left them at school. I'll scan it tomorrow or something.
First, a crappy drawing.
:D No comment.
Drew this on Monday, thought it was pretty cute. Or something. D:
Mmmm... no comment. Was interesting drawing the upper spine and collar bones. I don't even know if I did it right though since it was without reference.
Hurr. I never got the sword right. I like how his clothes look, although the back of his shirt could be closer to his body and have a few more creases.
And that's it!
Har. I was gonna post this yesterday but the internet connection died at night. haha.
I drew a whole lot of pictures, most of which sucked. This is about the only thing I could really come up with. :( lol. I drew it in less than a minute. NEW IDEA that came up. This guy is so lonely and messed up that one day he starts to see a girl. He's still pretty normal (in the head) at the time and he realizes fast that she's just a hallucination, so he ignores her. Slowly he starts to accept her presence, and one day she puts her hand on his shoulder and he actually feels it, so he decides that this is the point of insanity (He's now crazy! Yay!) except in the story she actually did become real. :O BUT I SHAN'T RUIN THE STORY. the one I'll probably end up never telling. HAHA.
More incomplete pictures. :D
Hee. Her hand is messed up - too small and I can't handle getting the last joint of her finger. haha. I wanna finish this one too. :D I drew more of the picture yesterday, but... I'm getting stuck. Noes.
Hee. I wanted to draw kind of... rigid fingers like I've seen a lot of other artists do. I actually don't like that style so much, since it feels like they have plates for fingers instead of... round fingers. I didn't really emulate it very well. I tend to like softer-looking hands better. Still, drawing with the rigid-finger idea in my head helped me draw some better hands. The finger sizes and spacing between them are a bit unreal though. D: Compared to real hands, that is.
I should be getting back to my schedule of drawing daily now. :D Whee.
She's saying "Himitsu yo!" (It's a secret!). So... yeah. Started off as one of those I-don't-know-what-to-draw-anymore-so-I'll-draw-something-easy pictures that turned into a posture experiment. haha. Not done yet, of course.
Drawn on some funky linen paper my mom gave me. It's not bad.
Drawn on the PROSOSS PAPER that Diana showed me. She wrote directions on them, and I drew on the back. PRO. I want to get some too :D
Drew this looking at this screenshot from To Heart 2 OVA 2 (at 1:53 in the OVA).
Hah. :( I need to draw and update more. Anyway, for the past two days, been drawing people screaming. Much better at it now but... it's not nearly as expressive as I would like it. :( MUST GET PRO. I'm planning on drawing all the major emotions with as hardcore an expression as possible; as practice, since all the people I draw are like =| HAVE A DAY. lol. Anyway, here's anguish. Not quite anger, not just sorrow.
Har. I had to run a few tests at work today, and the program that we use is obnoxious and I can't do anything else while it runs because it uses the entire screen, so that left me some time to draw. :D
This girl came first. I was still feeling kind of in a slump and didn't feel like drawing anything.
Well... not that I didn't want to draw anything, but... I felt discouraged for some reason. haha. Anyway, I decided to start how I usually do when I have no idea what I want to do, and that is... drawing eyes. And then it ended up like this. I stopped drawing it though because her face took up the entire sheet of paper and I couldn't do much with her except draw shoulders. haha.
So... then I drew this:
I was gonna draw a background and whatnot but then I had to go home. :( I really like how it turned out, seeing as how I was just messing around and she looked like a blob with... a human head at the beginning. haha. I was thinking of making her hold a knife and have some dead bodies behind her in light of the new Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni season coming out, buuuuttt... this was at work. haha. And sometimes people come to talk to me in my cubicle. (They know I draw and they're actually pretty cool about it, but... yeah. haha.) Anyway, I was gonna draw it in the perspective of a parent for something I'd title "Growing Up." Haha. I'm not sure if I'll get that far... since even though I like it, there are things about her that I feel like are a bit off.
I need to start reference sketching and copying again. haha. I feel like I've hit a peak until I learn how things either look in real life or how other people more experienced than I am draw it.
Oh yeah, I helped Diana give a shota some stick. :D
Drew this in... about an hour, not counting the outline (which was done at work about 2 days ago). HAR
It's not done yet, and I like parts of it, don't like other parts of it. I... haven't felt like drawing for a while. :( Doom. Just when I told myself that I needed to draw more too. Anyway, I wanted to do this quick and see how it turns out. He's kinda fat, but otherwise I see no other huge problems. Except for how the heck I'm going to color this. It looks so pretty in my head, but... I doubt it'll come out like that. haha.
I misplaced his knee. Oops. :(
Drawn at WOR-COUGHCOUGHK. again.
I like how it came out :D Drawn in pen again. SO I CAN BRAG. HAHAHAHA j/k. D: It came out actually much better than expected. He was supposed to be a girl. :O I was gonna continue and add detail on the coat, but it was risky so I stopped. :( I almost think the scarf's perfect, and I think I could've fixed it if it wasn't drawn in pen. har.
PSEUDO-COLOR :D ( b>w<)d
Hee. Title is pretty self-explanatory. haha. I just felt like coloring something. The line art ended up being kind of crappy though, since I kind of just rushed through it. :( haha
:D
I really like how it came out.
I accidentally did this on the jpeg I made of the original, so I wasn't working in as high a resolution as I would have liked. Still, it came out pretty nicely :D I don't like as much how some of the jewelry came out, and some of the coloring was pretty durr, but I like it. :)
Here's the finish without the background.
Har. I actually drew this at work again. SHhhhh...
I actually felt pretty good about this 3/4th's of the way through, and then the last quarter... well, it didn't really crash and burn, but I finally drew the things I was afraid of drawing, and half of it came out a lot better than expected, and the other half... well... yeah. haha.
No pencils at work, by the way. I checked. None. I drew this with two pens. haha. Here's the original finished drawing.
Her hip was supposed to be sticking out, since originally she was just... standing there. Kind of static/boring for someone who's supposed to be dancing, so I tried to make her hip stick out. I already drew the skeleton in pen though, so fixing the legs was kind of weird, and it ended up looking like her hip was dislocated. haha. The cloth also could look a lot better. It looks too chunky/blobby to me. haha.
I like the way her face and arms came out though. Her feet too.
Kind of embarrassing to say so but... her breasts too. D: It's just that normally when I draw girls it just looks... not right. haha.
I liked the... IDEA of her costume that I had. It ended up looking much more bland. haha. Now that I notice it, it looks kinda like clothes from a ninja game I've been playing. Sadness. She could use more jewelry/decoration.
Overall, I really like how this picture came out. :D I've been liking how my pictures have been coming out lately, so that should mean I'll hit a pit soon and I'll suck for at least a month straight. Prepare yourself.
Go go E!
HAH. It appears that the more work I have, the more I like to space out from it and draw. :D
I like the way the guy at the desk came out in the lower right, and the girl on the left except for her huge head. The rest has some dumb error that I couldn't fix because of pen. I tried to draw a huge guy like the Hulk or something sitting at a desk, and his finger is too big to hit one key at a time. It didn't really come out right. haha.
(Quick 5-second adjustment to make it upright)
Lately, my pictures haven't been to great. I haven't properly taken the time to draw something good. :( Anyway... This is Velvet, from the game Odin Sphere. Or... at least how I remembered her while I was drawing (no reference). It actually started as something else and then I drew the hair/clothes as I remembered, which isn't too accurate. haha. The longness of her face is what's mostly bothering me right now.
I've been thinking of doing a big piece of Velvet, Cornelius, and a bunch of Pookas from the game, but I haven't gotten down to it yet. I haven't gotten a good idea for their positioning on the picture either - all the things I've thought of feel a little out of character for them.
This was drawn at work. Shhh...
I felt like drawing tonight, but I felt like drawing something for a long time (like completing a full picture). But. It was like. 2 am. So tired. So instead, I drew this crappage. :D. Period. Period. Dot. Q.
... uhhh not much to say. Her jaw at first was huge and her neck was broken. Her ear was a hot-dog and yeah. After I did some pseudo-fixes (probably best fix would've been to just start over) her posture wasn't what I wanted it to be anymore. Her left eye could also use a move to the right.
Rabbit-foot out of nowhere. ( -3-)b
Har. I actually drew this yesterday. I've been drawing more lately, actually, but I've been too lazy to upload. Anyway, this is from something I'm doing with Diana. We're drawing people based on the alphabet - Diana starting with A (for Aviator). We're alternating so I started with B. Anyway... this is mine. B for Bard. I couldn't think of anything else that was reasonably interesting without being a joke, like Batman or Barfman or BeeFace. I drew something about 5 days ago in my mini-sketchbook, but I didn't like how it came out as much.
Anyway, I like how the guy's clothes came out. His hat ended up being kinda Cell-esque though, and I have to admit Link crossed my mind a few times while I was drawing the middle part of it. DOOMS. That's plural. For doom.
I probably didn't clean up the sketch nearly as much as I should have. :(
Got ideas for the font here.
GO GO C!
Errr... yeah. Haha. This is kinda how I feel late at night. MUST FIGHT THE HUNGER. D:
Translation:
Panel 2: Ah. It's already 1 AM.
Panel 4: Uh oh.
Panel 7 (huge one): UOOOO
Panel 8 (last): It's over.
I think it would've turned out better if I used some eyes on the big picture. That's my arm blocking my other arm trying to feed my mouth, by the way. haha. I'm supposed to have a stream of tears on my face but it's kinda hard to see.
I also drew a different version first, but I decided that there needed to be more panels between the "Oh no" and the big picture, since in my head I imagined there would be more silence. IT'S FUNNIER THAT WAY. HAH HAH. D:
Drawn in pen again. I didn't have a pencil around my desk and I was too lazy. I didn't really know what I was doing in this picture. haha. I had an idea but it got scrapped pretty fast and then... he grew mold on his arm. THAT MAKES HIM COOL.
Winner.
Har. I drew this picture with pen only, and then after I finished I decided maybe I should try coloring again. HAH. D: yeah. I kinda like how the colors came out. I accidentally drew her leg first so... her arm ended up being "transparent" or something. ( ._.)a haha. I drew this in a really small sketch book on my leg, so I messed up a good amount on lines on the left. haha.
Speaking of sketchbooks, I never really drew in them very often because I was always afraid of messing up. I feel kind of depressed not having almost no drawings in my sketch books after so many years, so I'm gonna start drawing in them like crazy. HAR.
Back to the picture... her posture came out really wrong. :D haha. I liked how the hands and feet came out though. :D Happiness.
I haven't really been getting back to my old daily schedule have I? :( GO GO GO GANBARO
No idea what I'm gonna be doing the entire summer. Kind of depressing actually, because I feel like I'll be sitting around all day. :(
Anyway... I experimented with some color pencils I found while my brother and I were reorganizing the basement. I usually don't do physical coloring, so I guess it was kinda new. This is... 2nd or 3rd time I've tried to work with color pencils.
I couldn't really get her... skin to show up darker, and I wanted her dress white. It was really hard to see everything so I tried to surround her in a darker color, and I guess it kind of worked. It's still a little hard to tell the difference between her skin and her dress. haha. ( ._.)a The hands are purposefully a blob, since I was afraid to mess up. NOES :(
It's finals week! There may or may not be updates until Thursday when I finish. :O Probably won't be.
MMmmm... not much to say about this one. I was sitting like this before I drew it, so I decided to draw someone doing the same pose. ( ._.)a
Some parts of this I'm not too satisfied with, like I think her right arm is a little too big, and some other things could use proportion fixes. I can't draw... chests right. On guys or girls. Guys don't have cardboard-box-shaped torsos, and I can't get girl's chests right either. :( Anatomy study? :O
Edit: Holy crap, did I really miss out on that many days? I thought I only took a break for a day... talk about loss of sense of time. :(
I drew something today. But...
It's the back of a naked guy.
... I'll refrain from posting it. :( hahaha. I actually had something planned out, but when I looked for a reference, I found a bunch of... nude male models. It was a pretty awkward moment for me. No private parts, but lots of buttocks. BUTTOCKS. And then in the end all of a sudden my sketch turned into a... fairly-not-really detailed sketch of a naked guy's back. Then I stopped.
Well, it was an interesting experience.
...
It's Ichimoji and Hana from Yasuhiro Aoki's Kung Fu Love
Haha. I dunno. Ichimoji (Guy on the right) seems strangely thin to me. His hand (it's facing the right direction, I swear) just isn't coming out right. The one he's extending behind him I mean. The two faces in the back/on top are kinda stretched too.
The picture isn't done. :( But... I'm feeling kind of tired. And hungry. The latter means I should sleep now so I can wake up for breakfast. :D haha. From my history, usually if I don't finish a picture within one sitting, the chances of it being finished later are fairly small. Still, I'll probably try to pick it back up tomorrow. :O I like how it's coming out. Especially Hana in the lower left. She was drawn first. Figures. Everything I draw first usually comes out better than the stuff I try to accompany with it. :(
Oh yeah. openCanvas died on me. :( It happened after I tried using openCanvas 3.03, and then after that it crashes on me sometimes when I try to save using openCanvas 4.06. :( :( :( It's SUPER SADFACE when that happens, because sometimes I draw for like half an hour without stopping to save, and then when it DIES. It sucks, especially when I like how it's coming out - which is usually why I'm drawing for so long without saving in the first place. DEATH
Therefore I'm reverting to old-school pencil and paper until I can either fix it, reformat, or try to get Photoshop to do the same effects, which it doesn't seem like it likes doing. D:
Uhhh. I had a better picture. But... openCanvas crashed on me when I clicked on the save picture. It's already so late so I just drew whatever. :( haha.
I should be getting back to my regular schedule. I might draw more and more crappy pictures though, since sometimes I don't feel too much like trying, and if I push myself too hard on it then I'll lose interest.
I've also recently been experimenting with flash and animation. :D Maybe I'll post some of the stuff I've been working on later. D:
Well... that was interesting.
There's a good reason why I suck. There really is.
...
Well... I have this paper I need to turn in in film class within 2 weeks.
... Yeah. I guess that's why. I never really relax because I feel like it's creeping up on me.
PERFECTLY GOOD REASON WHY I SUCK. AHOUFGHNADJBNDB
He reminded me of a hawk.
... that is all.
I haven't been drawing anything complex lately. :( Either because I end up eating my time with video games, or because I have work. Usually a combination of the two. :( Man... I want to get over the workload hill so I can get bored and draw more. Otherwise I kinda just wing everything. Doh. x(
I slept... a lot today. A LOT. So... I was thinking of drawing Sloth from Full Metal Alchemist, but... she doesn't look very characteristic of the sin she embodies. haha. So... I drew a crappy picture of me falling asleep at my desk. It sucks.
So... tonight, I felt like eating. BUT IT WAS SO LATE. Like... at 11:30. I have this thing where I don't eat at least 3 hours before I sleep (otherwise I heard you get fat? D:) So... I was like hmm.... eating... that's like... GLUTTONY. So... I drew Full Metal Alchemist's Gluttony. HAAHAHAHA. =_=
Do you like how he's pointing at you? :D hehehehehe.
I figured drawing him would be a nice change of things. It's kind of challenging since I have to draw everything in... big proportions. Because he's... a bit overweight, you know? I guess I didn't push myself as much as I could've, seeing as how I only drew a closeup of him. It was an experience drawing his chubby face though, and I'm not so used to drawing such thick fingers on a hand. haha. I still feel like it's kind of weird (his hand that is). It originally wasn't there, but I thought I should try a little harder than that so I drew the hand. haha. Came out better than I thought it would, but there's still some things that are weird. Like his wrist.
His face was interesting to draw too. Interesting expression. :D His nose is kind of comical too.
Oh yeah, he's saying "Tabette... ii?" which means... "Can I eat it?" SO DO YOU LIKE HOW HE'S POINTING AT YOU? :D
Oh yeah. Here's the reference I found randomly using Google image search.
k. sreep.
WHERE ARE THE UPDATES? OUADFHGODAUJFBNFDAABNFD.
This... is Mikan. Inamori Mika. From Manabi Straight! (aka. Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!) It's uber. She does this half-cat-like mouth all the time, and I thought it was cute, so I drew her. D: Wasn't really sure what else to draw, and it was already late, too, but I ended up working on it until 1:30 anyway, because I thought I should try something new and I did it painter-style. I couldn't bring out the mouth though so I cheated and actually drew black lines on it, and I feel like all that happened was that I made it look like she has a mustache. FAIL.
Here's the reference picture if you want to see what I mean. And another where it's more prevalent.
As for all those days I missed... hmmm... I'm not sure I'll make them up. Some days I forgot, and then when I realized I kinda just wanted to take a break. haha. Here's a sketch I did last week though, it's not very good and I don't have anything to say about it. It's not even titled because I don't know what to title it. Anyway, here it is D:
Just wanted to try drawing someone with their face pushed up against some glass. D: Added the girl in the foreground afterward. I didn't really have a punchline or anything thought up. Was just doodling. D: Doom. Drawn in my CS class. It's kinda bad... yeah. :( I are try to do bettar tomorrow. doom.
Hmm... I usually don't do fanart, but when I was thinking about how to draw a black mage, Final Fantasy black mages were all that came to mind. haha.
Anyway... I drew this in class... so I didn't have any references :( I was thinking about FFIX's Vivi but I just looked at a picture of him and I'm horribly off. haha. x( Still, I like how it came out.
I also drew... an arm:
Haha. I drew it mostly to plan out a glove for the archer(s) that I plan on drawing. It looks pretty ugly though, and class ended before I finished. D:
Pollen owns me. I kept trying to draw stuff in class today, but after spending more than 10 minutes outside I would get brain-dead and feel like sleeping, or I'd get a headache. It completely wiped out my brain so I couldn't think of anything interesting to draw. I'd get bored trying to draw stuff I always draw too. Anyway, I tried starting to make a comic strip, kinda a short thing, but then it kinda went HAYWIRE and I really, really didn't like where it was going, so I ditched it in the planning stage (I kinda planned it the wrong way anyway) and drew a guy POSSESSED BY A FLOWER:
Man. Normally my allergic symptoms are pretty mild, but the ground was NOTICEABLY YELLOW. There was a building where there was YELLOW DUST ALL OVER and you could tell where people walked because the dust would be pushed to the side. DOOM!
And... that's today's picture. HAHAHAHAHAHA. just kidding. k.
HEHEHEHE. I was drawing him... and then... he was shirtless. and then I was like. Crap. I better come up with a reason why he's shirtless. Fast. So... I kinda wanted to make it seem like he was just finished with some sports or something. D: and then I made him sweaty. SWEAT. HEHEHEHE. I kinda got lucky, I think, with how it came out. I was gonna color it but then I realized I have no idea how they heck I'd color the sweat, because I just don't know how AND because I got lucky with how it came out meaning I don't really understand why it looks ok as it is.
Oh yeah, that Chinese symbol means water. Sui. Mizu. Agua. H2O.
k. zzz.
Doom. It's kinda late, so I drew something easy. I guess the only new thing I tried was coloring everything on one layer, which... I guess can be good, but i think is mostly BAD. HAHAHA. =_= Anyway, here it is.
Came out better than expected. I wish I drew different eyes though. It's the same that I always draw. :( I also wish this was more than just a bust, but... yeah. Easiest because I always draw busts, and usually with the face pointed slightly at an angle. HAHAHAHA. k. sleep. man. zzz.
I wish I knew how to shade hair so that it looked better than just a blurry mess.
