Cintiq cimpanion hybrid

I got a new toy yesterday. It is the cintiq companion hybrid tablet. Allow me to offer this small review: I am in love with this machine. Here is a drawing done on it today.

foundation drawing projects continued

Well, I found two more of the projects from my foundation drawing class this semester. the first is a 5 point perspective drawing that is still under construction... and will probably remain that way. the second is a value exercise in charcoal. just a still life with a skull. oh boy!

So, during this time of inactivity, I have been very busy. Actually and for real this time. haha. I have been drawing though, in class mostly. here are the fruits of that class. I still need to learn a lot and practice a lot, but this class was rather useful. also, they posted all sorts of out of order, just enjoy the pictures and figure out what order they were done in yourself.

Dinosaurs!

:D Right now I am a little bit loopy because I needed to take some benedryl. however, I felt the need to update my art blog. these images aren't high quality, just from a point and shoot camera and some very poor level adjustments. however, I did paint these magnificent beasts! this is my first experience in painting, and I have a lot of take aways from it. I want to continue to paint, but I fear I will not have time. anyway, this is in a friend's child's bedroom. the kids love it. :)

Procrastination leads to a dump.

Well, it's been a LONG while since I posted, however I have not stopped drawing! (okay, for a while I did not draw as often as I should have... if at all.)

I have been on a drawing kick as of late and I am loving it! so I decided that I should dump it all in this blog. for those of you who check it, I hope that you enjoy it! I make no promises to the regularity of future posts however.

I decided to start sculpting once more. this is fantastic! I love sculpting, although this project is going to stretch my abilities greatly I feel. It will be good. :D

allergic to chicken

well, at draw night I had some time to draw! imagine that! this is what I came up with, it was done in about 6 minutes.

Soccer player

Why is it such a big deal everytime I actually draw something? this is ridiculous, I don't want to have to preface each post with "I finally started drawing again!" how lame.

this was a sketch I did just barely. I'm pleased with the progress I am making. mainly the fact that I put pen to tablet just now, and came out with something relatively good.

just a quick render of a patch the old english fort district wanted designed.

Women! @_@

well, valentine's day was yesterday. let me express my frustration with Women here.
simply put; I can't draw them. it's frustrating! ha! and you thought I was going to start complaining about dating and stuff like that! you thought wrong. anyway, I really have a difficult time with women. I honestly don't spend a lot of time with the female body (which can be considered a very good thing) so I don't understand well the way the curves come together, the structure of the face, etc. it's frustrating to me because I think that Woman is the most beautiful creation out there, yet I am unable to render it! here is my attempt from this evening.
