sketches

One recent pick from tumblr is April Nicole, she has loads of fantastic photos, all inspiring. I find myself sifting through endless archives, searching for photo references...then having the problem of choosing just one to sketch. What a problem!

Pink rose petals

I scanned in the sketch from the other day and edited it in photoshop.
To say the least Im pretty pleased with how it turned out.
It took awhile since I hadn't used photoshop in a long time..
but Im going to try and be more consistant with creating work
so the turn out is cleaner and happens faster.

Sketches

I always feel obligated to post in my blog daily..but then again who says I have to.

Ive been busy sketching as much as possible. I try to sketch daily, and already Im seeing improvement. I can sketch more accurately and for longer periods of time, Im finally growing some patience! haha The new projector I bought arrived today, I snagged it for only $5! It works just fine but I have to buy transparency sheets for it so I can blow up my sketches, retrace them, and hopefully make something great of them.

Sketches

Ive been doing a lot of sketching lately....this one will go unfinished for some time until I figure out what exactly Im going to do with it. Today Im expected to purchase a projector so I can blow up my images and retrace them at home, I cant wait:) Work on a large scale is so much more impressive..I just have to keep in mind Im not going to art school for this, and that I have no idea what Im doing. I dont want to get overly confident in my self taught ways.

Some great shots by Jimmy Backius.

My friend commented on my being a feminist..
a bit extreme, but I can see where hes coming from.
I post about nothing but women!
draw nothing but women...

My newest piece after taking a long pause from art.

Here's the sketch it came from.

(I think I like the sketch better)

Reason being because there's more shading in and around the face,

its more pronounced.

The one I painted is too flat,

but I like how the pink pops out.
