Figure Drawing 08/26/22

 Worked on some figure drawing today using Line of Action. It would be cool to be able to do in person figure drawing sessions again, but it's just not in the cards right now. So, photo studies are the next best thing!

Starting Fresh with the Art Blog

Hello world!

I am restarting my art blog! I wanted a spot where I could post my art progress without worrying too much about social media. It's been feeling stressful lately.

Lately I've been working on my portfolio for character design & illustration. Currently the portfolio for the character design stuff is further along than for illustration. I've also been training with Drawabox lessons. I'm currently on the 250 box challenge. It's been a long haul so far, but I'm happy that I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Some notes from the Drawabox lesson- I'm happy trouble getting the outlines of the boxes done evenly without a lot of fraying. I also find myself rushing a lot when I work on these. I need to continue to work on taking deep breaths and slowing down when necessary. I've also been finding that overthinking the individual lines isn't working so well. 

Things to remember for next time!

Marker practice

Had some fun playing with markers! I like how these turned out for the most part. I'm gonna need to get more practice though. :)

Sketchbook pages

Recent sketches... callie & co

Got a nice big pad of newsprint today and done charcoal :)

Avi doodle and portrait

Some recent drawings... trying not to be a lazy bum!

Semi-recent Sketches

Here are some more sketches... The portrait is of Audrey Hepburn. The photo reference is around somewhere. I'm too lazy to locate it. I had fun practicing with learning how to paint.

Also, sorry that I haven't had too much time to update lately. I've been busy with MCAT studying. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things once my exam is over. Tuesday the 23rd is the day! After that, it's freedom! (Well, minus my internship) :D
