I'm so pissed, I feel so tired but like I've done no work D: My patience has flown the coop; I don't have the time or the will to sit down and actually do something worthwhile or even finished. I've got too many doodles though... so that's all I've got to post D:

I did that such a long time ago! Geez I never uplaod and I never draw D:



My lame-ass attempt at a halloween drawing. I've been getting all these macabre ideas for drawings, but I forget all of them when I go to draw and end up with pupil-less people-monster(-cannibals?) instead XD And they're all horrible!!



I doodled this at a poetry reading at a coffee shop.... I was so booooored! D: I went as moral support for someone, otherwise I promise you I wouldn't go back XD There is very little poetry I like, most of it is just old love poems XD

That's about it. I'm thinking about colouring that last one just for kicks. And I'm thinking I should draw some more mimes.

I know I'm a terribly interesting person.

I should be working on an essay (I sort of am, I guess) but instead I thought, "hey, maybe I'll post a sketch or two." It'll be just one for today XD

I keep forgetting about this thing, but I'm drawing tons, really.




It's sort of a WIP, but I think I'm done with it because I have more important things to do. It's based on a photo from September's VOGUE, in a Little Red Riding Hood shoot. The colours are gorgeous, it's probably not the best drawing to do in pencil! XD

Shit, this needs more updating XD
Here's a little marker sketch from a few weeks ago.




I had a particularly discouraging day at school today, most of the projects I've been working on... well my teachers aren't such fans. I was pretty upset at first, and later realized I haven't been putting a lot of effort into my work so far this year. I've been feeling really lazy lately, not quite sure what that is XD
Especially with my art. I don't know what I'm doing at all, I feel like I got kicked back to square one. I really feel like I lack direction. And I'm constantly getting frustrated at myself cuz I'll get great ideas and be like 'yes! That's what i want to do!'... and for some wierd reason I never get around to those ones.

School's also taking up a lot of my time this semester. The workload, just looking at it, seems impossible, but actually doing it is totally different. It should be manageable... the only reason it feels like it isn't is probably because last year was just incredibly easy. Such a low homework load, and this semester There's 2 hours homework per class per week... which adds up pretty quick considering most of it has to be done AT school.

Anyways, enough complaining! I'm really hoping I can get something done soon, I'm trying to finish a piece for a contest (not to win... just to enter XD) and that's all I've got going outside school right now.

Hopefully I'll be able to post a lot of my sketches soon. I have tons ;)

I rarely update my sketchblog anymore just cuz I forget about it XD Maybe there's no real point to keeping up with it! It feels more like an archive for me than anything else XD Oh well.




Drew this about a month ago, after watching Marie Antoinette. I want to design more dresses of that style, because I don't think this one came out right at all XD

I'll post more soon, maybe even later today ;)

A couple of charcoal practice images. These are actually from a couple of weeks ago. I'm pretty behind on posting things.

August already! Holy Christ.

I have a few sketches today. I've been very on/off lately, like I'll sketch a ton at once and then not feel like drawing for a while after that XD

Anyways, this first one is pretty wierd.




I think I was listening to that song from Swan Lake... the famous song that's always the song peoiple know from it XD I've never actually seen Swan Lake... and it's weird I think that I'd get the inspiration for this from that. I don't know what this sketch is, and I sort of picture them more like mannequins than people, hence the no-eyes thing.




Audrey Kawasaki (http://www.audrey-kawasaki.com/) is an artist I've been hearing a lot about lately. I'd seen her website a while ago but I didn't really get into her art a lot until recently. She does such gorgeous paintings on wood. They're seemingly simple but really beautiful, and a lot of the detail is in the emotion of the characters, I think XD
Anyways, I wanted to draw something with her kind of style in mind, but after I did the hair I was like 'fuck that it's too hard' XD You'll never get anywhere in life with that attitude. So this is the fail product of that little thing.

There's another artist, Stella Im Hultberg (http://stellaimhultberg.com/index.html) who has sort of similar style. Their work is really different though, I think. On Audrey Kawasaki's website there's actually a collab between the two XD I think I like Stella's work a little more, but I'm still a big fan of both XD

I'll have to leave it at that for today because my computer's about to die. But I've got a lot of WIPs and some still lifes to post soon :)

I bought a copy of ImagineFX, trying to ignore the ridiculous price XD Thankfully, you get a lot of bang for your buck, so I've been really inspired by all the information in it. I wanted to try a speedpaint today, and I loved the colours in the Revlon ad on the back of Vanity fair.



It came out better than I thought it would, so I'm happy :) The face is still really off and the colours aren't right, even after a lot of adjustments. But I really thought it'd be a complete mess, especially because I only spent about 2 hours on it. That's super fast for me XD




I saved every half hour ^

Now that this is out of my system I can work on my other picture....

A few little fashion drawings. I don't feel as creative with these anymore XD












I'm TERRIBLE with men's fashion XD I need to look at some fashion shows or something for inspiration. I'll try some new things soon :)

Got quite a few more things to post soon, I think~

Two little crappy sketches today XD






This was going to be lineart, but I don't think I got the idea through very well here, so I'll try again.



Also, I was talking about Fern Gully with a friend, and remembered the evil guy from the movie and the song he sang. So I looked it up on youtube and found an extended version XD




Why the extended version?
Really it's just for the line 'I feel good, a special kind of horny'

In a movie for, like, six year olds.

YES <3

Very random doodle.
Main character from Broken.
