100 days of keeping up with my daily creative habit: I feel that’s a lot of days, right? It doesn’t sound like quite as much when you think of it as a little over 3 months, but I’ll make sure every 100 days is a major achievement, and use the opportunity to look back on what I’ve accomplished. This is a massive post! So click “Continue Reading” for the rest. It’s a doozy!
Despite mentioning how close my 100th day was in several posts throughout the past week, today kind of caught me off guard. I mean, 99 days. Kind of nuts.
Today’s drawing was very light as I’m feeling sick today. I somehow poisoned myself last night. I think it was all that whiskey I drank. So while I recover I figure I have to get to drawing something. So I drew a bunch of Weeblies. Which actually took a good amount of effort to do considering how awgul I feel. These little guys, which I may have mentioned/drawn once before on this website, are my own creation from forever ago. When I was in highschool, I think. My cousin named them “Weeblies” years later.
Hello, people. It’s finally finished. I don’t want to see any more tiny little circles for as long as I breathe. Perhaps tomorrow it’ll be MASSIVE circles! Everywhere!
Very happy with how this image turned out overall. It’s a little too colorful for my tastes. However, there just wasn’t any other way around it. I really wanted to keep the individual colors all separated from one another so they stand out more, and there were only so many colors I have available that would look right.
Something I thought about doing was filling in the entire background with black ink. I think the colors would stand out even more. However, two problems came to mind: I don’t have nearly enough ink for something like that. Not at the moment anyways. Secondly, I want to work on something else as soon as possible! This project took about a week, I think, and I’m more than ready to move on.
I name thee Dragnix! I think it’ll take one more day to complete. The most difficult parts are behind me, I believe. Looking over the remaining spots to fill in, they’re mostly all larger circles than those insanely tiny ones in the center that I worked on today. My wrist is killing me! At least it’s looking pretty good.
I’m anxious to get my new laptop charging cable in the mail! There are a lot of things I want to look into but it’s a bit of an inconvenience if I where to do it on my tablet. Either that or I’m procrastinating a bit. I’m not entirely sure. I want to look into some suggested websites where I can sell prints of my work. I’ve been set up on Deviantart for a few years now, but I always feel so outclassed by the art displayed on the front page. So I don’t pay much attention to what goes on on that site.
Another thing I want to set up is a Facebook page for my artwork. Anyone think that would be a good idea? Is it annoying when people separate their personal Facebook page and their professional page? It’s just something I’ve been thinking might possibly be a good idea. Not sure.
Is it still a Phoenix? I don’t know. After finishing the head, I think it’s more dragon-like now. Perhaps it’s a cross between the two mythical creatures.
I have a lot of ideas in what I want to work on next. When my laptop is up and running again, I would like to recreate this circle technique in Photoshop. Make a million perfect circles and see what I can create when human error isn’t as much of a factor. Or I would also really like to draw more crystal-like structures like I did a couple weeks ago. Perhaps draw Superman’s Fortress of Solitude!
Hey, peoples. It’s Remembrance Day for my fellow Canucks and I went with some family to watch a parade and pay respects and all that. Saw my 14 year old niece in her cadet uniform. Pretty cool stuff.
When I arrived home in the afternoon I got started on my drawing right away. It’s now 4:30PM so what little bit I accomplished was done in about 2 hours! My God, this is an epic piece of artwork. I might work on it some more later on tonight just so this thing gets finished quicker. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything nearly as detailed as this is turning out to be.
Looks like I struggle a bit with finding the proper color when I take these photos under artificial light. First I had to remove the yellow, then enhance the color to get it as close as possible to what I see on paper. What I ended up with today wasn’t very accurate. Ah well, tomorrow I’ll start earlier to get that natural sunlight, and I should have a lot more coloring finished by then.
The picture’s looking pretty good. It’s going to take a very long time to fill each tiny circle with the blue, yellow, and green I picked out, but nothing worth doing is easy I always say! Besides, I watched Rocky tonight. I gotta work at it, you know? Buy some turtles. Then punch some faces. Or something like that.
