From life.

I have two drawings to share today. One of them is an updated WIP of an earlier drawing I posed, and the other is a digital life drawing.This first drawing is just an updated version of the SciFi drawing. I fixed some of the lineart between this version and the last time I posted, also, but I don't know if anyone will notice. Anyone other than me, obviously. I moved Anya's head so it's further back, so it doesn't look like she's sticking her face out all awkwardly. I also rotated Aaron almost entirely--everything except for his feet, which were flat on the ground to begin with. Now he's not falling serenely onto Matthew.
I tried something new with the eyes in this one. I actually gave them some life. This is the first time, with this style of face, that I have done anything with the eyes other than making them a flat, solid bit of color. I'm really happy with them so far.


This second drawing is my life drawing, obviously. I have a skintone set for photoshop that I downloaded off of DeviantART a long time ago. I've wanted to try digital painting for a really long time, but never really had the chance to. I know I'm not ready to do it without a reference, at the very least.
I'm pretty proud of this drawing. I know that it isn't the best drawing ever or anything, but I feel like it's a solid first try.
I haven't put this one up on DeviantART yet, though, cause I don't want to embarrass John. A lot of mutual friends watch me, and would see it. But I'm pretty confident that no one other than him reads this blog, if even that many.

Moar WIPs

I was drawing last night, but couldn't cinvince myself to stick with one drawing or another. So, I worked on three.

I love pin ups. Especially ones that are classy, like ones from the 1950's through the 70's? Yeah. I wish I could draw like those.











Chibi Spartan!
I drew this at a chick flick night last summer. I intend to turn it into a bookmark, for Anime Detour this year. I need to look up references, though, before I can finish coloring it

.
This last one is the one I'm most excited about. I've even fixed up the lineart from last time I worked on it. I think it looks much better.

Brynn and Anya, colored!

I finished coloring the drawing! And look, I even pretended to put a background on it! :D

Again, this is Brynn (the white haired girl) and Anya (the blond), from SciFi Arc 3.

I am really happy with the shading in this, and I'm having a ton of fun drawing.

Two New'uns

The first drawing I have for you today is a WIP. I just finished the lineart now. :)
On the left is my friend Laura's RP character for a science fiction game we played during last school year/summer. (It was a very long, two part game, basically.) On the right is my character for that game, Anya. Our characters lived together on the same ship, and were basically best friends.
This line art is really old--five or six months, at least. And at the rate [I feel] I have been improving recently, that makes a big difference. This is also before I started forcing myself to draw characters without their toes pointing together. x(

This second one is a finished drawing that I'm actually really proud of. It's the new banner for my webcomic, Loser Corner. The website isn't live yet, but I'm getting everything ready for John to code it for me. (<3 ) From the left, it's Laura, Anna, Kari, Peter, Ellie, Me and John.
Ellie, John and me are the characters that appear most often--that's why we're bigger. The other four appear the second most often, I suppose.
I had a ton of fun drawing this. I'm really proud of the shading, particularly on Laura (in the yellow). I used stock/flickr for the bricks/Peter's shirt, though. I plan to change that at the earliest possible time.

Aaaaaaand we're back.
So, here's the story: My old computer crashed. I got a new one, finally, on November 2. Then I finally got photoshop some time late last week. So now I'm drawing on the computer again!

Basically, my new plan is to post sketches and pages from my sketchbook on here, now that I have a computer again. I will ignore this blog no longer!

...With my one follower. Who happens to be my boyfriend. Argh.
