#illustration progress

The second Greek muse from my new series is Cleo muse of history 🏛️🏺

"What will Cake & Blasphemy, to be exhibited at Zinemachine in October and then digitally on twodeadqueers.com for free, be like?" you may ask.

"Horny on main, my children. Horny on main."

Monday - the day of getting too close to my hot hot Cintiq...

Day 7/30 for Figure Drawing - and I already regret saying I will do this for 30 days straight, of course. I’m going to try something different tomorrow, either fifteen 2 minute poses from Line of Action, or I will find a new site to try out. Which might be enough.

I managed to ink all the little things in this piece before I peeled my sweaty forearm off of my Cintiq. It’s too hot to draw. If California would stop catching on fire for one day, maybe I could get more work done. 

Snacked on while drawing: Sour Patch Kids - I decided I’m too old to be eating candy like I used to. Like an older athlete that can no longer compete, their joints ache and they’re not as fast as they used to be. Candy was my sport. Was my mouth always this sticky?

Watched while drawing: more Kitchen Nightmares 

Sunday - Never go outside again.

Day 6/30 of the Figure Drawing Challenge. I got tired of all the female poses being them laying down sexily, so I decided to pick the “Only Male Models” option to remedy that - but lo and behold, all the male models were doing the same thing! It’s inescapable. I might look for other figure drawing sites, I’m sure more exist - I would like to do more standing or action poses. I get mostly lounging and sitting, which is fine, but I need more.

I finally settled on a brush to ink this piece. I got all the basics lined... 

...and sketched in all the little details.

 After this piece is done I’m going to give Clip Studio a shot because I think I’m expecting too much out of Photoshop, and it’s just not an illustration/drawing program. It might be time to adapt and move on, I don’t want to be one of those people that never change or evolve. And what if it’s way better for my purposes?

Watched while drawing: Kitchen Nightmares - because remember going to restaurants?

Also watched: Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (in my desert island 5) and Bills and Ted’s Bogus Journey.

Just a little bit the progress of one of my illustrations (this one http://zoehi.tumblr.com/image/144413870283 )
