I TOTALLY FORGOT.

Sorry about that, but I've moved my sketch blog over to tumblr. I know, I know.
But I like the idea of reblogging and what not. I've also added disqus comments to it, to make it a bit more personal. Please, update your bookmarks, if you had any. I'll see you over there.

It's hard coming up with a new style.

It really is.

I think, somehow, with growing up and getting more and more into the "art world", it took something from me. Or maybe I've just lost it. Somewhere along the way, my ability to draw slipped through my fingers. I wasn't the best artist, but I drew without reserve. I drew all the time, anywhere, any place. Didn't matter what it was, how good it looked; I didn't care, I just wanted to draw whatever came to mind. And now, you'd be hard pressed to find me even doing a doodle on a napkin with a crayon.

It's depressing really. Or at least it would be, if I hadn't pushed those feelings aside. But I won't lie and say I don't feel a little angry at myself for this; I want to find "it". Whatever "it" was. I want to get back what I lost, whatever it was that made me draw carefree, made me draw continuously, outcome be damned. 

I think it has a lot to do with me becoming aware of my art, aware in a way that points out to me all the little(or big in my case) things that are just incorrect in my art. Things like: "That finger looks crooked.", "Legs are too long.", "Ugh, that hair is terrible.", to say the least.

I find my self criticizing every little thing I do; I am my own worst enemy.

Recognizing my faults and striving to overcome them is one thing, nit picking is another. I hope I can shrug this off sooner or later, before I don't want to draw at all any more.

It's about damned time.

Anyway, I'm still drawin', just not updating enough. I'll try to get back into the habit of that. Working on my website at the moment, trying to make it seem professional and all that. We'll see.

Been drawing with my art buddy, who for some reason doesn't ever update his sketchblog, with, you know, sketches. But we'll work on that. *glares his way*... We have an idea for a story we're trying to set up now, and I guess we'll see how that goes too.

Anyway, you didn't come here for my blabber (or did you).

I know what you really came here for! PornMy artwork!

Her name's Alys.

Alright. That's all I got for you. Go on, git'!

A WHOLE MONTH

Wow, looks like I haven't posted anything for almost a solid month. I'm ashamed of myself seeing as I made this sketchblog to try to keep myself drawing. Oh well, no excuses. I have some new stuff and some old stuff.

Posting these as is, seeing as a good majority will never be finished. Maybe later, I'll come back to them, but for now, not really thinking I will. This is just a sketchblog, anyway.

Damien

I inadvertently drew myself as a boy, apparently. Because I swear, this is what I would be like if I were. And yes, I'd be gay. Because I know what you're thinking. "That boy looks gay." Shut up. It's awesome.

Cross

Wanted to draw a cool, mysterious looking character. I mostly succeeded here, I like to think.

Jasmine

Wanted to draw a girl dancing. Not sure if she's doing that, or seizing up.

Amris

Just drew it out of the blue, honestly. Her eyes are a little fucked up, but it's cool, I'll fix it later because I actually like this piece and might make something out of it.

Sonic

I loves me some Sonic! Just felt like it really.

Mabel & Sonic

This is actually fairly old, a friend of mine mentioned that there was a blue hedgehog in the game Animal Crossing and he wondered why he hadn't seen any art of them together. I think her name is Mabel? I forget, it's been a while. But I thought they were cute, so, here ya go.

Arc

This is my character from my comic Mercenaries. You really don't want to fuck with her.

Liam

And this little guy is the star of one of my soon to hopefully be finished, sci-fi story. Also, the first time I've digitally inked anything sans the Pen Tool. I don't usually ink digitally, but I gave it a go and I think it came out kind of good. This was already a coloured and finished piece, but I stripped it of that to toss it up here, when I realized I never posted it.

That's all for now, lates!

Sunday Morning

There we go. That took forever! But I'm very proud of it, really. 

8am

This is totally me when I wake up in the morning. Only with more clothes, and fatter, haha.

Anyway, I just practiced this a few minutes ago. Trying to brush up some anatomy, where I really need the help, and this just popped into mind.

I was reading an anatomy tutorial last night that I think really helped. It didn't so much tell me how to draw, it told me that I already know how, and just need to refine it. And it's true. We all know what the human body looks like. Putting it to paper isn't that hard. Proof is in the pudding. Yeah my drawing could be polished up a bit, but that's what I drew after reading that.

I know what humans look like, I know how we bend, how we move. I don't need to fight myself when putting them to paper. It's tough, but not that hard, and it will take practice to make it look right, and I know that.

I can do this.

Happy 19th Birthday Sonic!

You magnificent blue bastard, you.

He was always my favourite.
