"The irony is I was listening to Black Sabbath..."

I started this drawing as just a goof drawing to occupy my time and to have something to do tonight while playing some obligatory games. Sundays are usually pretty much shot work wise (one factor being obligatory games), but I'm trying to draw whenever I can. But I ended up not even working on it during the games. It was finished about an hour after I started it.

This is probably my favorite goof drawing as of yet. I say "goof drawing" for anything that's completely unimportant; something I have no investments in. Stuff that isn't for anything other than fun. Usually they're just scribbles that I don't even look at twice, but I guess all the practice up till now is paying off. I almost didn't even try when I doodled this. And it didn't take long at all. I just liked it so much that I had to ink it. And it snowballed into what it is.

Long story short; One hour drawing + 15 minutes inking + one hour photoshop = unintentionally awesome poster.

I'm considering having it printed as a real poster. I think it might be worth $20 to have on my wall.

Cover

I did this cover a while ago. I'm so behind on everything, I can't believe I'm just getting to this. Everyone in charge was flexible, so I pretty much did whatever I wanted. Its double sided ; the back cover is the other side's view of the front. There wasn't much behind it, other than I don't remember seeing a two sided cover like that and wanted to. (I'm sure it's not the first, I'm just saying I haven't seen one) I'm pretty happy with it, not because I think it's great, but that it looks as good as it does given the tiny bit of time I had to do it in. There wasn't much planning. This is all of the planning and prep work that took place before it was drawn-  Despite the stamp, this was not drawn on July 26. It's been long enough now that I can look with fresh eyes. I'm pretty happy with how the hands turned out. And from looking at the sketches, it's because I got them right in the sketches; the ha...

10 YEAR POST

Image
It's been 10 years since I made the first post on this blog. And it's been about 3 years since the last post. I guess I felt obligated to address 10 years passing. Feeling a little sullen, I suppose. So, I'm mustering through with this impromptu post. I'm preparing to change gears, mentally. I think up till now  over the last 10 years, my aim, even if just unconsciously, was to get better at drawing. Forwarding the skill, without giving much thought to marketing it.  In hindsight, not much thought to went to furthering a career in drawing, just honing the skill- which is the mindset I'm trying to change. I like to believe I succeeded in achieving the goal; I feel like I draw better than ten years ago. So, in that, I feel successful, but it feels ... dry . Flat. I've been wondering, have I been too obsessed with becoming better? Has that one goal blinded me to what could have been other, more significant gains? I don't know. Maybe. Mayb...
