Mako Sketch

Mako from Korra!

Zoro Sanji Final

Decided to put them side by side! am happy with the result of the pic! i screwed up the layers and made a big mess of everything so it's fairly simple!

Zoro Sanji Sketch

Been watching One Piece now for a while! i couldn't say who my fav character is! they are all awesome! anyways i've been doing a lot of traditional art lately so i don't have much to show for my efforts and am not going to take photos! Here is a sketch of Sanji and Zoro! On the one hand they are rivals on the other nakama! these guys always crack me up!

Korra Sketches

Very Excited about the new Korra Show!!

Skulls

Proud to say i drew all these skulls without references without taking forever to do them! been doing a lot of traditional drawing studies of the human skull and proportion etc! unfortunatel drawing skulls and faces is 2 very different things! XD

Self Portrait in MS Paint

Oooooooooh so this was random time killer but had lots of fun doing it! my goodness i never thought i'd ever draw again in mircrosoft paint!!!! hahaha but you know it's not as bad as i remember it! you can now actually pick your own colours! :O

Here is the original photo!

Kity Cat City

Enjoyed drawing this! colouring was really lazy but turned out well! used a mouse for this entire piece because i can't draw straight lines with a tablet XD Apparently this is 2 point perspective but i only drew 1 point! A lot better than my last attempt at perspective! Also the first time i've drawn a city!

Randoms

Well i was looking at all the different brushes in SAI it seems a shame that i only ever use a simple circle! next time i do some painting i'll have to make a point of using some different brushes!

then i feel like i've been in a bit of a slump lately so i just decided to draw a plain front on picture! i have to work on full body anatomy! bust shots don't help me improve! Look! someone other than Sokka! XD

Profile Head Sketch

Sooooooo studying the head in profile! always been something i've struggled with big time but learned a lot doing this! that the head isn't shapped quite as i thought it was in my mind! funny how seeing everything in 3d everyday we have these preconceptions that are quite different to what they are in reality. Breaking things down helps this!

Oh look at that! it's Sokka XD was going to be some1 else but his hair style allows to show the shape a bit better!

Valentines Finished

Finished version!

Valentine Lines

Here are the lines! changed some stuff around! opened Toph's eye for starters! would rather see her eye than having it closed! hahaha and frik it was hard to find the design of her earth bracelet XD I am determined to finish this before Valentine's day! gah! let's see if i can get it together!

Valentine's Sketch

Sketching lol Toph and Sokka! I hate hands XD might finish this one up for Valentine's Day

Head Painting

Hmm not sure what i think about this! painting practice but i've always had problems drawing faces in profile!

The Painted Lady

Final version! i like working in greyscale! did away with the lines in the end!

Sketches

I read recently that female anatomy is hardest to get looking good and that if you can get female anatomy down, then male anatomy will follow along easy. I couldn't agree more with this! at least for me females are a bazillion times harder than males, so i am going to try focus more on females. Sketches done without references.

Why yes that is Toph and Sokka! Surprised? lol And Luffy! he's flippin awesome! omgosh i wonder if this is innapropriate material? :O i don't think so! it's just people in underwear right?

Gesture Drawings

Wasn't going to upload these cause they are def not my best work! But then again this is my work in progress blog! came across the idea of gesture drawing. Gave myself 30secs for each sketch with the idea that shape and movement is more important than anatomy/proportions! unfortunately i cling to detailing everything and in 30 secs it did not work! first try is very hard!

Progress

Well i've added the base shades! thought i'd aproach this picture in black and white to give her a more menacing look!

Kiwi

a quick painting of a kiwi! boy aren't these fellas cute! :D did you know they also come in white? XD

Sokka Sketches

Studying male anatomy! Fact: Sokka is my favourite male character to draw!

Nina Simone

A speed paint of one of my all time favourite jazz, blues, pop, soul singers of all time! Nina Simone! such a beautiful and emotional singer!

I am fairly happy with the depth of this picture! even though i feel like the lips feel rather disconnected from the face! that and she could probly use some eyelashes! XD

Enjoy some beautiful Nina Simone here!
