30 Day Drawing Challenge- Day 3

Favorite food- I wracked my brain and realized I don't have a favorite food. I love food/eating/cooking/baking. Therefore I'm going with the food of the moment: beer batter bread. It's a cooler day today (as far as summer goes) so my brother and I baked some bread today and the smell is overwhelmingly good. Butter, yeast and warmth. Think I'm gonna get me a slice. Yum.

Sailor Moon Comic

That's what happens when you don't drink enough water...

An idea I came up with a while ago. Still not sure how I feel about the execution.

Also, I didn't say it before, but Naoko Takeuchi totally owns the rights to Sailor Moon. All of them.

30 Day Drawing Challenge- Day 1

I found this challenge on Pinterest a while ago. I had started it in my paper journal right around the time when life picked up, and my art effectively shut down, so I'm starting over and using Gimp as my medium. Gimp for those who don't know is an open source drawing program, along the lines of Adobe Photoshop.

#1 Self Portait


I think I am starting to get a feel for the drawing tool. This image is a sketch of a sketch, drawn from real life. This morning I was fiddling around and trying to draw from my imagination, but everything I came up with looked wrong. Then I used my sketch pad as a reference and viola! It doesn't look like me per se, but it was useful for practice. It speaks to the importance of drawing from life to get proportions/shadows figured out. From there, you can play with style.

Who wants to take the challenge with me?

Doodle 1

I've been on a total Sailor Moon kick lately. It was my favorite cartoon of all time growing up and is the reason that I got into art at all. Drawn in Gimp. Still getting used to the new program. I can't seem to get the pressure sensitivity to work. It makes me miss Photoshop. But hooray for doodles!
