December '15 Skill Building: Animals

It's always a challenge to find time for skill building during the holiday season. As soon as Thanksgiving hits, life departs from normal routines till January! I feel like these drawings count less as great art and more as "Yay, I actually made something today!", which I guess matters, in and of itself. I will be sharing sketchbook stuff next week and I have a Christmas illustration planned for the 17th. Then I'll be taking the rest of December off and blogging again in January 2016!

November-October '15 sketchbook

Since the last two months have been crazy, I opted to do one sketchbook post for both October and November. Also, I'm posting this one week ahead of schedule because I'm taking next week (Thanksgiving) off. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday (if you're celebrating it) and I'll be back again in December! ^_^

November '15 Skill building: Poses

It never fails, I stop working on a particular skill set for awhile and I come back to it feeling rusty. :-/ Oh well, that's what skill building is for, right?

Inktober '15: Finishing up

Here are the last three drawings from Inktober this year! Thank you everyone for your kind words and encouragement! ^_^ I'm really glad I pushed myself to do a character design challenge and that so many people got joy out of seeing my work. It was a crazy/great month and I am eagerly looking forward to future projects. Stay tuned!

Inktober '15: Week 4

We are almost, almost to the end of this challenge! Only a three days to go! I had originally planned to do a sketchbook post this week, but then opted to post my Inktober drawings instead. I'll share the last three next week.

Inktober '15: week 2

Inktober continues! Coming up with a new character every day is exhausting and I wish my schedule allowed me to put equal amounts of time and efforts into each design. Still, I do feel more confident in my inking skills now and I'm pleased with how a lot of these characters are turning out. After this weekend, we'll be over half way through the challenge!
