Whoops

Woah, I've been falling behind! :O So many drawings I've done and I've been busy with schoolwork. For one thing, I am still doing the drawing each day thing, I've just forgotten to post them on here. Also, I'm currently taking Drawing for Animation, which is also producing some good pictures. In fact, I'll post some of them here now.


First homework assignment was to draw a self portrait that makes a statement about our relation to art and animation. What was my statement? I love sci-fi :) Ok, there's more. Mostly how my dream job is to work for Disney or Pixar (hence Stitch hitchin' a ride) and my dream dream job is to play The Doctor (hence me flying the TARDIS). For some reason the space clouds in the background are way more apparent than they were when I was drawing this. Or maybe it's just my computer screen...


  

Heads and faces. I'm actually impressed with myself on how some of these turned out. The faces on the top right were from photographs and we were given only a couple minutes to get the general appearance down.


Finally, some poses and anatomy. Don't have much to say other than the current assignment I'm working on is drawing poses of one of my own characters. Which character? You'll find out when I remember to publish another post.

That Was a Bit Unexpected.

More daily drawings!






It was after that last one that something started to spark. My careless attempt to draw a Bob's Burger-esque character had something that seemed to pop out at me. I needed to find out what.


It was with the not-quite-11th-Doctor drawing there on the right. Could it be? The "new personal style" I had been looking for? Right under my nose? And from a half-assed imitation of another cartoon? I had to try it out some more!


It was during this page that the whole thing came together. At last! I had found a new personal style!


On a bit of a Doctor Who high, I tested the style almost exclusively on Doctor Who stuff, as well as my first self-portrait in this style in the top right (waving to the War Doctor)


Other than the full self-portrait, this day was kind of a flop with drawings. Attempt at poses turned into scribbles, an attempt at a friend's original character turned into a pencil-head with a face, and an attempt to draw Csemer Boggie ended up looking a bit more like Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice. If it wasn't for the self-portrait, the interesting little doodle above the self-portrait and the hand above that, I'd be just about too embarrassed to publicly show this page.


For some reason, my new style took a bit of a twist in today's drawings, with the Anna and Elsa (from Frozen) drawings. I'm still playing around with the style, so it's still subject to change. One friend said it reminded her of Tim Burton's art style.

Stay tuned for more drawings from my Daily Drawings project!

Well, Would You Look At That!

I haven't completely forgotten! I was just gathering up some stuff to show, and I only recently got the camera on my phone working again. I've started getting myself into the habit of drawing every day. One page of my sketchbook a day! Here are the pages done so far!
