I can't seem to ever stop.

I take my sketchbook with me to work. I sketch while I'm out dining even if there are other people there. I go out on my own to have a nice lunch or coffee and sit and draw for hours. I'm obsessed. It is quite possible that my art is both a source of stress relief and a source of confidence for me. I really hope it doesn't go away as I get treatment for my anxiety ;c.

I've decided that I need to actually stop and talk about my pictures more. So I'll try to in future posts. I'm already gonna go back and do a little editing on older posts just to make myself look less lazy. My lines are getting more confident, I'm doing broader swoops and more often know where my hand is going more clearly. This and anatomy are things I try to practice regularly.

As you've probably noticed I draw our characters for our little RP story/world quite often. I wonder a lot how possible or plausible it is to turn something that's a private story between two people into something masses of people can enjoy. It makes me nervous. But I push on.

This is actually something I'm really proud of. I thought up this idea while at work one night and could not get it out of my head until I got it down. It basically depicts a few high lights from Saiq's life to try and very simply explain his character. Its my first attempt at an image like this and for me its very emotional. Saiq is such a bastard, but to me he's quite a lovable character. The duality of his nature is like... so exciting to me~.

 

I spent so much time drawing horses as a young adult. They were what I was good at and I was pretty much shitty at everything else. I met Brian Stelfrieze at DragonCon a few years ago and had the fortune of having him critique my sketchbook and what he told me about the difference between my horse figures and my human ones are things I've never forgotten.

Hixnu is such a fucking... ugh I don't even know what word to use. Dork? Lech? Crazy Person? I need a word that encompasses all those things. It will be the name of his biography.

The cover for my concept art sketchbook~ Compared to other threads mine seems to have a great deal more shameless porn. So I figured I needed something more fitting.

And Finally:

Because it had to happen. Bella and Xol... perhaps watching a scary movie?

Oh. And Commission~

Like the figures, not so sure about the bg tho. Still the commissioner likes it so it's fine as it is.

SO MUCH SKETCHING.

I seriously love my new sketchbook. I'm going to end up buying one of each color from Barnes and Noble one day, lol. Lime green happens to be one of my favorite colors.

Barnes and Noble Lime Green Sketchbook

See? So cute~

Anyway, here's more:

Heee~

Sketchbook Scans yet again.

I've been drawing a lot in my sketchbook lately if you haven't noticed. Mostly stuff concerning protei. But the deeper lesson I think I'm learning is confidence and purpose. For a long time I'd always wonder how to get into the 'zone', because back when I was very insecure it would always show through in my strokes. But there were sometimes where I'd just let go and be confident. That is the point I think I'm in right now. When I'm just drawing because I love drawing. That's what its all about. I'm glad that I've been able to reach this point. I hope I can continue to achieve greater things. Landscapes and scenes should be next, I think.

Even more sketchbook scans!

A few more days of doodling... trying to stick to doing it everyday~

Sketchbook scans!

Had a terrible day yesteday. But I'm determined to make this one better. I've cleaned up a lot and gotten some things taken care of. I also scanned my sketchbooks. I've been meaning to get around to that...

Anyway~
