Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T23:38:00.004-05:00

Hope everyone has trick or treats and a great costume. I went as Liz Lemon.

30 days of consecutive posts!

2008-10-30T23:39:00.003-05:00

I'm very pleased. Halloween post tomorrow, then a break from posting for a few days. Hopefully next month will bring some very interesting stuff

It wouldn't kill you to smile once in a while.

Seriously, what's she got to be so unhappy about?

What is it about scanning that makes watercolor look awful?

It snowed today

If 2008 were a person...

2008-10-23T23:28:00.003-05:00

...I'd stab it in the eye. This year needs to be OVER.
Here are some really terrible thumbnails for the comic project I'm not doing much work on at the moment, but totally should be.

2008-10-22T22:41:00.003-05:00

I really need to learn to draw robots better.

Old Sketchbook Page

2008-10-20T23:16:00.004-05:00

Done while in a particularly boring class, when other students were giving presentations. One girl kept mispronouncing Descartes. She's up in the right hand corner.

Tired, or what

2008-10-18T22:51:00.006-05:00

I like how his face looks, given how primitive this drawing looks.

Also, it's my mom's birthday today. Happy birthday.

Meh

2008-10-17T23:24:00.002-05:00

I got nothing today.

figure drawing

2008-10-16T23:00:00.003-05:00

This was done with a brush pen, but I think i need to learn to vary my line weight a little more.

Crappy day

2008-10-15T21:51:00.002-05:00

Man, did today ever suck.

Unfinished sketch

2008-10-14T23:05:00.003-05:00

Possible character design for a comic project, I guess I have to check with the writer to see if he approves. Left it unfinished because I wasn't happy with the results.

I nearly set my apartment on fire today...

2008-10-13T23:27:00.002-05:00

...but more on that tomorrow, maybe.

Another sketch from Italy. I don't think anybody can actually tell what it's supposed to be though.

Lazy Sunday

2008-10-12T23:28:00.002-05:00

Sorry, this is one UGLY sketch.

Nothin' to say today

2008-10-11T22:43:00.001-05:00

I'm so tired my eyes can't focus

2008-10-10T21:46:00.003-05:00

I wonder whether or not that's a bad thing.

Another old sketch of the back of a classmate.

So tired

2008-10-09T23:07:00.003-05:00

Work is so exhausting right now, hopefully that will end after this week. I think I'm getting a headache.

Starting to get chilly

2008-10-08T22:28:00.002-05:00

You lose 30% of your body heat through your head, so remember to wear a hat. Even if it makes you look like a dork.

Guy on the bus

2008-10-07T21:48:00.003-05:00

Done on the bus, view of the back of some guy's head.

This blog is all about dogs and roommates

2008-10-06T21:33:00.002-05:00

Another sketch, of a dog while I was in Italy. He was an Italian Greyhound and didn't seem to like people very much. The dog was named after a famous jazz musician, but I can't remember which one, I think it was Miles.

Another roommate sketch

2008-10-05T23:21:00.002-05:00

Another watercolor sketch of a different roommate. This one was done in Milwaukee, while she was rolling cigarettes on the floor. I don't think she even noticed me drawing her.

I can't think of a good title for this one.

2008-10-04T20:44:00.004-05:00

Year-old watercolor sketch, done while I was in Italy on study abroad. It turned out okay, I should have done more drawing while I was there though.

Scanning color stuff is complicated.

2008-10-03T22:15:00.002-05:00

Crappily scanned watercolor sketch.

This girl came into the store today, dressed like this, poncho turtleneck up to her nose and talking to her friend the entire time. I was really amused by this, mostly because it reminded me of the Bazooka Joe comics with this guy .

You can call me butter...

2008-10-02T20:43:00.004-05:00

...because I'm on a roll! Second Consecutive Post!! A new personal best!! Old, ugly doodle in one of my sketchbooks I'm weirdly fond of, cleaned up digitally.

Post the First

2008-10-01T21:03:00.003-05:00

It's kind of ugly, but hopefully I'll get better with practice.
