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!

Ball Bounce

Another little animation :) Starting to get the hang of this.

Let's just take a moment...

I shouldn't be too hard on myself. It's not like I haven't done any art. I have been designing banners for 1STOPLighting's website. I don't know if anyone would want to see advertisements, but here are a few I especially like.

Bad Artist!

I remembered to update my blog but as I was about to make a new post, I realized I haven't really drawn much this summer... I just never have time or get around to it. I make little doodles, but they often end up lost somewhere. Most of my time have been taken up by work, online classes and development for a film I'm working on. I hate to make excuses, but I also hate to feel like a bad artist because I haven't gotten around to drawing much. Anyone else ever have that?

Bad Hippocampus!

I said I'd try to write more blogs... That was over a month ago :( I don't want to blame it on work, but I've been working full-time and started online classes. I need to hire someone to follow me around and poke me with a stick while nagging "Update to your blog!". I'm at work right now <.< so I can't really post anything... but I'll try to remember when I get home, to post something.
