30 DAY CHALLENGES

Day 10: Favorite candy

I adore hi-chews. I haven't gotten to eat a good variety, but the ones I have are like chewy, sweet rave parties in my mouth.

Making this gif was also a huge pain in the buttocks. I couldn't figure out at first what I was doing wrong and was really close to head-desking the keyboard. Eventually, it all worked out, but wow, my stress levels....

Day 11: Turning point in your life

I..tried to do a loose style with several colors so that I could make some kind of cohesive kaleidoscope effect, but this ended up a lot messier than I had expected. In the end, I got really tired trying to figure out how to do what I was trying to do, forgot in the end, and just let my eyes flip out on the rainbow. Hahaha. I have mixed feelings on how it came out, buuuuut for now eh.

The turning point in my life was when I was in elementary school (maybe 2nd grade?) and my school district had its once-every-four-years Circle of the Arts where all the public schools would showcase music and art. I remember wandering a bit away from my 2nd grade art section and I found my way to the senior high school student art section all the way at the end. I don't even remember what I saw, but I just felt incredibly awed seeing all the work of the students that were done seriously and honestly. I could see even at that age all the hard work (and quality, of course) that was levels higher than mine. Haha. At that time, I think I made my first long-term goal that I wanted to be up there, too. 

I was lucky to fall into the four-year mark for the event when I did become a senior and it's the strangest feeling of seeing a half-thought promise actually come to fruition. It was even stranger when I saw little kids staring at my stuff like I had done. It felt a little bittersweet then.

Day 12: Most recent accomplishment

Exercising every morning so far for thirty minutes. I am so not fit, it's actually a little scary...? 

Also, I am getting the hang of this gif business. 

Haha, as you probably noticed, I made a new BG since I had scrapped the old on and had been meaning to make a new one. I thought I'd be funny again and designed this little thing. It's based off this:

I was sick of a lot of people yesterday and just drew this to steam in the only way I really knew how besides procrastination. I'm sorry I have a low EQ, world.

Kicking myself in the butt to keep drawing

I love you, vacation, but you're making it very hard to be productive.

Day 9: Favorite TV show

Mushishi

Haha, I put this project on a hiatus a while ago, so I guess it’s time to continue. I would’ve put Sherlock, but I originally had this show in mind for this prompt a while back and I had the ref for it, so I thought, eh, what the heck, might as well do Mushishi. It was fun drawing without lines....

Besides, I'm not sure if I can even draw Cumberbatch's wonderful face that well.

And ignore that empty space. Eurgh...

This was another experiment, though I kinda lost my train of thought of what I was trying to do somewhere along the way. I got the idea from these two under this.

It will be so awesome if I can figure out who did the above amazing works, but for now I'll just put it up here to show that, haha, no, I am not original. I'm not even sure if what I did is called "copying" since the poses are practically the same, but I guess I can make the excuse it's not 'cause this was a practice...?!?!?! I don't even know. 

But anyway, I was trying to see if I can draw hot guys again (check, uh, right?!) and if I could draw really pretty black and white compositions like the two above. In the end, I found out that I really liked the new brush I was using for making a messy sketch and left it...not as clean as I initially was going to make it. Ah, well. I guess that's my style...? *laughs awkwardly*

Just an update

Well, I've been on an IGPX anime spree and devouring everything that is related to that. I also remembered an old project with a very good friend that we created our own generic team for the IGPX. So I suddenly decided to tackle the challenge of trying to draw the amazing machines from that show with the ideas we had in mind for our own team.

Long story short, it's not easy considering I still can't draw a decent car, nevertheless mechs and holy chicken with tomatoes and lettuce, I despise drawing machines.

Goddamn, IGPX.

So yeah. Still working on that this diligently. Maybe it'll be finished in a few days or so. Maybe. Maaaaybe.

(And maaaaaybe a little bit too proud on how they came out so far.)

A Quick One!

I...wasn't sure what was in my head when I first started out with this. I had wanted to draw a cyborg with silver fingertips for something on DA, but it...ended up something very strange. And a lot of OCD explosion on my part. I can't decide if I like this or not. 

I like the legs, though.

And I just realized that my initials are flipped, too. Bluh.

So, again, here's my friend’s chara again because I got annoyed at myself for cheating on poses on the last one. I MUST MEET MY (low) EXPECTATIONS. I was mostly trying to figure out how to draw anatomy correctly and I'm pretty sure I still got a few things wrong, but it was fun to do transparent pngs again. I guess next I need to experiment with more dynamic action poses?

And a bonus drawing:

Faiell also showed me Babo's really awesome stuff and her delicious clean lines, so I might attempt that later, too.

Here's to constantly learning. *throws champagne glass out the window*

I'M DRAWINGGGG ARRRRGH

So a bit of fan art. Not happy with this that much and I spammed textures a bit too much this time. I knew that once I started to color, this wasn't going to end up how I wanted it. Daw. Hahaha. But well, it's Vriska Serket from Homestuck. It was sad times when this happened in the comic.

And I was trying to challenge myself with this one by doing an pose I normally didn't do. It was actually fun just to sketch out something instead of worrying about the coloring step. Still, what is light source what. Hahahaha. Aaaand still spamming with textures. He's Alistair from the Alice universe.
