#Inktober2017: Days 19-20 - Cloud, Deep

No, not together, although that would have been interesting, too.

Still getting back into it, and still finding it a challenge, but here you go: Inktober drawings for the last two days:

Day 19: 'Cloud'

Day 20: 'Deep'

 
 

#Inktober 2017 - Crooked

Completed late last night for #Inktober2017, Day 8’s theme of ‘crooked’.

(Definitely Not-So-Daily) Sketch

Today, I worked up a very brief butterfly sketch... which showed me that I have a lot of work ahead of me, if I'm going to be able to turn these guys into fantasy butterflies. So, here's a start:

Daily Drawing: August 4, 2015

Yesterday, there was a little time between class for a proper doodling. It's getting slowly better. Maybe in another ten years...

And just to keep the momentum going, here's a quick study from life, augmented a little by imagination:

02 August 2015: Drawn From Life #1

Daily Drawings - July 2015

July was a great month for daily drawings. I tried sketching in the morning, as opposed to last thing at night and this is what happened.

Daily Drawing - July 6, 2015: Improbable Creature #7

I ran out of time today, so this rapid sketch is all I managed. What did it teach me? Well, I really need to go and study how wings work.

Today's creature is... hairy.

Daily Drawings - June 2015

Well, it didn't end up being daily - my life went through a bit of an upheaval and the art was one of the first things I had to sideline. The first three sketches were very disheartening and I was convinced I very much sucked.

And then I did this one in pencil, using a book cover as a guide. It was not a bad start.

 

And then I wound out the month with this:

And I was fairly happy.

Now I only have to keep it up.

Daily Drawings - July 2, 015: Improbable Creatures #3

Today's improbable creature is a reptiloid with some inspiration drawn from the beaver, and some from the cat, and maybe a little from those dinosaurs with the colourful tails.

Daily Drawing - June 30, 2015: Improbable Creatures #1

Well, I'm not doing as well on these as I might, so I'm trying something different. I'm going to draw first thing in the morning, instead of last thing at night, and see if that makes a difference. Today, I woke up thinking of a tree. It's the tree to the left front of the picture. And then I wanted to draw a deer, but the head was wrong, so I created a dragon, instead. So, for July, I think I'll create some improbable creatures, as that's what seems to be inspiring me at the moment.

This is where I would have said my drawing was around thirty years ago... and it's a lot better than the sketches I've tried earlier this month. I have a ways to go to before I can start making beautiful art like Algol, Svenya Liv, Nic Weissman, Claudio Pozas or other folk, but that's what this blog is about - the journey.
