Leading man. Romantic. Thief. Fashion Icon.

my favorite (peacock) leading man

Been out of it for almost two weeks due to migraines. Really proud of myself for adjusting expectations and not pushing as hard today, and focusing on specific pieces of an image. REALLY happy with that down-ward face, the torso shift, and some top-down perspective on the pecs. Also that hair

Love my desert plants <3 <3 <3

My friend and I played some variations on the Exquisite Corpse game.  (A) One person starts a comic with a panel, then switch back and forth until done. Non-drawer gives and adjective to begin. (B) 2 minute timer per drawing round. Draw on top of the same image back and forth (We did 3 each, total of 6 times drawing). 

-I def lean toward rounded shapes. Would like to learn how to use angular too. 

-Simplify shapes and information

Did a group shot/style blend practice with some favorite ladies. Not entirely successful, but learned a lot!

Haven’t been this happy with a drawing in a long time. :) My pencil is really improving. I also have always wanted to try a multiple heads in the same spread sketch! This came out pretty well. I looooove the designs in this game, and child me is excited I can draw them finally.
