Moxie Mouse

I’m working on some character sheets and it’s sooooo hard to stay on model 😫

i think i’m getting a wee bit closer to figuring out how I want to draw his face. After studying a bunch of different artists styles, I’m liking the ones that have the expressive puppy dog eyebrows, and a less square jaw. (He looks a little too much like Bruce to me when he’s drawn that way.) When I first started reading the batman comics, I was really confused as to who was who since they all had short black hair. I was used to reading manga where faces look more similar, but you can tell the different characters from their clothes and hair, and the artist would stay on from book to book so there weren’t style differences that would confuse me.

Aaaaaand still figuring out nightwing

Still trying to figure out how to draw dick Grayson. The hair is actually super hard 😅

Been reading a lot more western comics. It’s trippy how the look of the characters change in the different books when the artist changes. This is an amalgamation of me staring at a lot of Nightwing / Dick Grayson drawings by different artists. He is one of my favorites in the DC universe, but fanart of his is kinda hard to find, so I figured I’d draw my own. Maybe next time, I’ll add the mask 😛

It’s week 4 of Analytical Figure Drawing and I don’t know if I’m getting the musculature of the back. Homework’s due Monday, and feedback on Tuesday so I guess I’ll find out then how to improve. 

I don’t even know how people get in these poses. Unfortunately I didn’t note the reference for most of these photos with the exception of the Afro-swordsman. That’s from proko.com which if you haven’t checked out, is a really great resource for artists.

ok, after a few weeks off from drawing, I’m starting Analytical Figure Drawing at cgma. first week’s homework is 150 gesture drawings. i’m straight up slow at this, so i’m not gonna make it. BUT we only need 5 to upload. It started getting easier after the 20th one. there’s a few here i really like, and there’s a few i really hate that i won’t be uploading. :D but it’s nice to be able to get feedback on the ones i had trouble with to figure out what went wrong.

A quick drawing, based on pose from Michelangelo’s David

Been binging on Nightwing and Grayson comics on DC Universe. He’s really likable, esp with Barbara and Damian. I can’t believe Tom King shot him in the head.

Cat woman and Batman formal wear design. Inspired by all the awesome cosplayers at WonderCon. I don’t have the time (or abs) to pull this off, but it sure was fun to draw and loosen up after 8 weeks of thinking through perspective drawings.

They made a little memorial for her out of drawings and play doh. I let the boys have Girl Scout cookies for dinner and watch cartoons till bedtime. I tried not to cry because it made my oldest cry too. I tried to cheer them up. But now its 1am. They’re sound asleep. I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. Tomorrow I’ll need to make them feel better again, but for right now, fuck I’m sad.

This is week 2′s assignment for perspective class. A Throne room in 2 point perspective. We’ll see what the instructor says. I’m still a little baffled on ellipsis. I’m just eyeballing how wide they should be. And next time I’m going to draw a box holding the stairs first so I can calculate their exact height. But I really like how King Baby turned out.

First week of perspective class. The left side of the drawing I did ok. Instructor liked my clock, plant, and the details in the drawers and the ceiling. Right side bed and circular objects need some work. I feel like I’m qualified to layout IKEA instructions now. Next up will be 2 point perspective.
