Stages

I tried to up load this last night, but my computer was acting up. I don't think I've done two drawings in a day that took so much effort. As I said before, I did use the light box for the shape of it, but everything else was done freehand. Whew.  I wanted to share with you the three stages of the drawing I did today for my beautiful gal friend. Enjoy.

Beautiful

Another friend asked me to do a drawing of them, so here it is. I used the light box to get all the basic shapes in, and then played with the hair a bit. I hope you like it Beautiful!

Ficusboy

A while back I tried my hand at my own webcomic... I may have mentioned this before, but it didn't get far. Anyway a good friend of mine was the inspiration for one of the characters. Oddly enough... his character was a plant... a ficus to be exact... ... hard to explain the reason behind this without giving away too much.

Now that I've said all that, I did today's drawing because he made a joke about drawing him, and a ficus... so here it is. It's not my best, but I like how it turned out.

Crowned

To say that I used an old sketch as a reference would be a bit of a stretch.. I used several pictures for reference. The crowned heart on the bottom, is supposed to be on her t-shirt, but it didn't look right from the side. :P Also, yes, I know that the body is too small for her head... but, by the time I noticed it, it was already too late. So, live and learn right?

Risqué

So again with the old art box finds. They are kinda NSFW. So yeah. You are forewarned.

It's awesome to look at these and see the things that I was strong on, and the things that I obviously needed to work on. The first two are among my first (I think) attempts to draw people together... in the "arms wrapped around me" kinda way. I'm still proud of them both, the second one more so, minus a few things here and there. The third one I did back in '06. Seems like forever ago now. Yes I know the proportions are off. I'm posting it more as a "look how far I've come" rather than an "I'm so proud". I hope you enjoy them!

Horizons

I normally don't like to leave art work unfinished. It makes me feel like... well... like I'm not done. (Duh) :P not overly satisfied with this one, but mostly I'm trying to get down the different motion of the head and neck, and how that relates to the placement of the facial features. I have the most experience with profiles, and head on's (no pun intended) so I think it's time to broaden my horizons. Wish me pretty drawings!

Emo Mona Lisa

Not sure what to say about this guy. I did the hair in red so I could go back over it, and not confuse the lines later on. Honestly I'm super proud of it. He kinda feels like a cross between a male Mona Lisa, and a late 20's Emo boy. I love the shy little smile on his face... *blush*
