Doodle Dump

I'm alive! I promise. I have still been drawing I just haven't been posting lately since I've had a lot going on. I've had a family member pass away and my dog as well the past few weeks.  I've also just been really drained with work so I kind of took a break from the computer and things. Here's my doodle dump of the week.

Possibly Illustration or Grad School in Near Future...

I've been considering attending either The Rhode Island School of Design or Ball State University for either graduate school or for their illustration programs. I was super stoked and was drooling over the classes at RISD.  I've been thinking about it and Huntington was a good school. They helped me learn about myself personally, spiritually, and academically.  However, their animation was just starting out and we were the guinea pigs and so I'm thinking of what would be best. I have finally developed a confidence in myself and in my artwork that now I feel like I am much more motivated and have worked through my emotion baggage that going back to school sounds appealing to me. I have other options such as online tutorials and things to teach myself however, I would love a more focused education.  So, I'll see what happens. If I attend either of those schools it probably wouldn't be until Fall 2016.  I don't want to spend anymore money but, I guess I'll pray about it and see what opportunities sound best whether that be not going to school or going.

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 Chose You

John 15:16

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.

Sketch Dump

I miss you in waves...

Just a quick sketch thing I did for a friend. I did a bunch of sketches I'l be posting them tommorow night.

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.
