I've drawn a bunch of stuff.

Still doing studies focusing on head and figure proportions/lay ins. It's hard but fun. Started timed gesture drawing yesterday and boy am I shit at it haha. That's going to be the slowest improvement I think it's hard to turn off the "draw the outline of everything" part of the brain and focus on just action lines etc especially when all the poses are like contorting gymnastics insanity with extreme foreshortening. All the sites I have do not have the best images to be honest at least from an extreme beginner perspective. Oh well really struggling with this part of my studies but I hardly ever did it so it's understandable.

I've really buckled down and created a nice work space, made a study schedule etc. so There's a lot of new stuff on the blog haha. Having fun though! <3

I start an AutoCAD drafting class next week more professional development stuff which shouldn't cut into my art studies too much. Once I'm done this course in April I'll be looking into the Watts Atelier as well so lots of goodies on the horizon hopefully including a new show. I'm not on The Strain anymore and have had two unsuccessful interviews so far :/  Both art directors seem to like my work and want to work with me in the future but I think the skill upgrade of drafting is definitely in order. Not sure about actually having to draft sets but that's the way the wind's blowing. Not enough to be a graphic artist anymore :/

Anyway that's it for me!

I'm really digging into drawing properly once again lol. I think it will really help me in my career so why not. Time to stop procrastinating and just get my pencil moving. Stop being chicken shit, paralyzed by fear of failing etc. lol.

So I'm just cataloging my progress on my very bare bones blog. Weeeeeeeee

p.s. I don't anticipate much finished work for a while so my page here may suffer. I don't find deviantart to be much of a community for pursuing getting really good at the art thing unless I'm missing it because there is so much shit to wade through. What's with social media sites just trying to be everything to everyone in life? It totally dilutes the experience and loses sight of the point of the community in the first place I think. Way too much going on here for me to find anything lol. That rant wasn't really intended but yeah XD

Sketchy Blog

Well I brought back my sketch blog. I already posted more in the last week than I ever did and I started back in 2011 lol.

Like I mentioned last journal it's been almost 3 years since I last updated! For the last 2 years I've been working on indie film productions, have joined the local union, and started an apprentice program in the Art Department. I always knew I wanted to be in entertainment involving art somewhere. I still want to work towards concept art but figured in the meantime I should just get into film at least to start somewhere and get some experience. Anyway finally left Porter Airlines and have ditched the indie film fun for actual paid work :lol:  However I'm still in the early stages and need to add to my portfolio hence the sketch blog and coming back here to get some sort of daily routine going.

I decided to mess around with watercolours. I had this idea for a thing I wanted to do and then I started buying art supplies like a maniac and yeah. Loving it! Paint's expensive though :/ Hopefully lots more updates to come :P

I'm dolling!!!

Haha wow it's been what almost 3 years since my last update. Lots of things have changed but I still sometimes miss dolling. I need to actually beef up my portfolio a bit for professional purposes but well can't hurt to throw a pixel or two in. Actually I don't know if I'll do anymore or not it's been pretty painful and I've wanted to quit several times and move on to my other art but I'm sticking it out! Woooooo!!

If anyone's still there XD... look out for my entry to FionaCreates' Digital Dolls Contest!. Having fun with it but I sort of forgot how to doll!
