some of the sketchbookin bits i particularly enjoyed from the last week or so. I use absolutely garbage paper that couldnt handle a snail's sneeze, much less any wash of anything using water, which is why theres buckling on some of these. Doesn't bother me, sorry if it bothers you.

Less interested in the paper and more interested in the drawing tools. Brush pens and mechanical pencil? Line weight is ridiculously good.
Thinner lines on the fish, the lil fern fairy and the orange tiger were a horribly dying staedtler 0.5 fine liner. I didnt finish the fern drawing because I got tired of coaxing ink out of it, and didnt even try on the tiger, so to replace that until I either: or some online or adventure into town I dumped some into into a pentel aquash water brush. Size unknown unfortunately. Its the not smallest/not biggest one with a dark blue lid. Its working okay, might have been smarter to just use a paintbrush and deal with the cleanup though. Havent used it long enough to decide if I'll refill it once what I put in there empties out.

Final of this girl.



this is such a good dog. I love this dog.


closer shot of the ratte part of the page above, and also sorry for the DOG HAIR on it. I said that in caps so they could feel the shame from here. they're probably sorry. and some turtles, since im gonna have to draw a turtle soon. The good rattes and the turtles are just referenced off of google.

that was always my favorite castlevania boss



is approaching the right number of dog but i think a few more could be squeezed in there dang please


on talent and consistency and whatever, not that its anywhere nearly as fascinating as the Dog Orb but I've always preferred the word passion to talent. I've felt like saying that "oh youre so incredibly talented" is diminishing to the work people put into their craft - be it singing or drawing or whatever, and is also sort of a closed door in the face of beginners. Like you might as well not keep going if you don't start out as a savant. I have an innate talent for spacial thinking - but it was passion that got me through the years and years of drawing animals with lemon heads and feet bigger than the entire body.

i prefer to compliment skill, and attribute passion over talent but that could be splitting hairs.

And i think consistency is something to be worked for and something that comes with time. Drawing a subject i'm weak at, getting it right was more luck than intention. It was work and time that got me to get it to look right every time.


Though not 10,000 hours. An interesting talk about 20 hours, instead of 10,000.


anyway some art. the ink thing is my gw2 charr done in place of the "justice" tarot card and i thought quite a bit too much about the changes to imagery or character but i dont think it would really matter to anyone but me.

Self portrait


looking at this just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and content inside


i dont know anything about anything about anything (about anything) with storyboards or animatics or whatever, but I thought maybe it would be fun to try and learn via osmosis, and watch some scenes and try and draw them out? I started with the other fathers song from coraline



belatedly occurs to me to wonder if this is too sketchy for the sketch thread but my desire for any knowledge dropping or the chance on being told what to do better next time outweighs the internet forum anxiety
