It Otter Be Snowing -Colored

I finally got around to coloring this guy. :P I used the Ioish brush set on deviant art and it was so much fun. I am still getting the hand of the brushes but, they are very handy. :)

Take time to reflect...

I've recently been on the go constantly and I've just been so stressed out about my goals in life and I told myself that I needed to take time and reflect on how far I've gotten.  I need to stop thinking about what others think about me and my goals and just try and focus on small goals.  IMy goal this year is to just draw a little bit of the human anatomy once a day and not paint huge pieces but, something fun and short.  I feel like I'm constantly comparing myself to other artist and it is un-needed.

This quote has encouraged me:

"By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you've achieved - and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses - you actually can enhance everything about you. Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments."

I'll get there one day...

It seems like forever until I will save enough to reach my goals to get my computer set up and Wacom cintiq... Slowly I am getting there but, I just feel like it will never come.  This little poster gave me some motivation I guess. I'm slowly working towards my goals the best I can.

Dog Anatomy Study- Day 1 & Day 2

Here are some animal studies that I have been doing from the book I got from my parents.  There's so much in these book and so many animals and body types to learn.  I will take this book one day at a time. So, here's what I've practiced so far. :)








Christmas Presents! :D

I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did too.  I got some awesome books for Christmas and It will definitely help me in my journey as an artist for years to come. I got "The Graphic Artist's Guild to Ethical Pricing" and "The Artist's Guide to Drawing Domestic Animals". My teacher recommended the first one and the other one is really handy as well! :) I have already started reading this awesome books.

Hands, Feet, and Figures Oh my!

Just did some 30 minute figure studies and I tried a hands and feet one! I enjoyed the hands and feet a lot. I need to get more handle on my hands and feet.  Later, I will throw in some facial studies and I will do some animal ones too.  I love pixellovely. It's been such a helpful website for me.  I just gotta keep brushing up on my figure drawing skills and I'll keep in shape.

Gettin' the hang of things

I'm finally starting to get the hang of gestural drawing. I was trying to add too much detail before instead of looking and watching how the lines of the body are.  I'm making progress everyday.  Just got to keep working at it. :) Sorry if they are out of order.
