Walking in Green

Ah yes, I need to show you something, but it will have to wait till friday, when it's used in the video!

I don't have much to say today, so let us skip to the art, I did life drawings in pencil and charcoal today!

MY EYE!

It does burn, yet such things can not be avoided, I did not make as much art today as usual, but I decided why not try a new update schedule?

To make this deal easier on me, and to focus more on life drawings, I will upload one real video a week. This will be done to ease the "pressure" I caused myself of trying to think up a video each day. Also, life drawing posts will show the day before, this helps chronologically, and no more "if you see this, I forgot to add this mornings art!"

Now to show you what I drew yesterday, it was not much due to several factors, but here you go!

I’m Sailing Away…

On my beautiful ballooooOOOOoonnnn...

Now, let us have a moment of silence...

Oh yes, time for last nights art! Instead of doing the usual muscled and skinned model, I did a skeleton! It seems as if I am slowly improving on faces, and that is a good thing.

Ah yes, and let's take a gander at todays am drawings, I like the imaginary pose best.

Bin-trew Duh Hoods!

Todays title brought to you by: Anikrat's poor spelling.


(Captioned lovingly by Show of Hands, an ASL-Performing Arts Community. I also owe a friend for recording and keeping the camera steady!)

Just a silly video for your peruses, now onto the art art art art art art art! But let's not bring up the art art art art art art just yet, I want to know if you like me adding videos, and if you want to see more alongside the art art art art art.  Oh, but I really should get back to the art art art art before the art art art leaves me and I have to make new art art for the sake of art.

I really like how I am  improving on portrait, and the silly still makes me laugh.

More Better

Our title comes from something hilarious my cousin said, now to the images.  After eating at... restaurant... I drew people around me and got my Papa to draw me! (included)

On the right side, I show you what I did last night, I did an extended study, including hand, object, hair, and face!
08232009pm

This morning, I tried to draw the head, pelvis, and ribcage as a box.  Drawing the head as a box confuses me, but the others I will keep in box form.

Morning image tme!

Today I tried to follow some advice from JoJo and not do silhouette drawing.   I also did a spine study.

This image shows my attempt to trace the spines to learn more about how they work:

I then drew my 10, 30 second drawings.
