Abstract Digital Painting: Day 228

Colorful Abstract Painting by Robert Chapman

So, Tuesday’s are labeled as “Abstract Day” on my schedule, so for about an hour I fiddled around with a couple colors and brushes via Photoshop and this abstract digital painting is what I came up with. I could of worked on it for another hour, but I have company coming over shortly and I seem to enjoy my time away from my artwork a lot more when I don’t have work sitting there, waiting for me to finish. So now that this post will be up and out of the way, it won’t be bothering me in the back of my mind.

Drawing Pen Techniques: Day 227

"Black Pen Scratches" by Robert Chapman

So, with today being Monday, according to the schedule I made a few days ago that means today is a day where I put pen to real life paper and draw something relatively simple. I’m sure most people can relate, but I’m not too fond of Monday’s. I find nothing of importance ever seems to happen on a Monday, and so they just kind of come and go and are eventually forgotten. Not like a Saturday. Now, Saturday’s are awesome…

Blaster Master Complete: Day 226

Blaster Master fan art by Robert Chapman

It’s finished! If you took a look at the schedule I posted yesterday, then you’ll notice that today, Sunday, is a day where I can do whatever I want as far as my daily post is concerned. So for today, I decided to spend a few hours finishing up this Blaster Master in-game drawing. I also painted in the title there and I think it turned out really well. That title graphic is a little bit in need of some contrast to help it stand out from the background, but it’s alright, I think. I’ll leave it alone.

"Dark Cutie" by Robert Chapman

I’ve had a photograph of a woman in a snowy forest on my HDD for awhile now, and I finally got around to painting her. Here’s the photographer’s Pinterest page, with the original photograph present a little ways down the page, and you can see she does all kinds of fantastic fantasy style photography. I think my digital painting turned out pretty excellent, considering that I never ever draw people.

Webcomic – My Life is Weird: Day 224

First page of a web comic by Robert Chapman

Alright, so I’m not finished with the Blaster Master digital painting that I’ve been working on lately, but I’m going to try my best to stick to a new type of schedule. A schedule that I’m not quite prepared to share in full, as there isn’t anything concrete that’s worth sharing yet. I’m going to try following what I have written down so far for awhile and see how it goes.

So then, with today being Friday, I have in my notes that I should try starting (or working on) a long term project. Yes, I could of just continued working on the Blaster Master picture, but I’ll save that for another day. I think it’s time for a nice change of pace.

Giant Blue Mint Cookie: Day 223

I was hoping to get a lot more done today, but this will have to suffice. I painted with my niece for an hour earlier today and got a line of the yellow-ish grass completed in my Blaster Master picture. That was pretty much it for today. She drew a giant blue mint cookie! She’s a fantastic artist and I love hanging out with her.

That’s about all I’m going to get done for creating artwork today. It is my birthday after all, so I’m pretty busy today. Tomorrow seems like it’ll be more of the same but I’ll try to squeeze in some drawing time in the AM.

Dreaming of a Webcomic: Day 222

Blaster Master fan art by Robert Chapman

Welcome to the first ever 222nd post for my first Year of Creative Habits. I wonder if I’ll ever reach 222nd days on my second year, or even the year after that. I certainly plan on continuing this for as long as I can, and I have no reason to think I would ever quit, but we all know that things change eventually. I would love to have a list of years on the top of my website; year 1, year 2, year 3, etc. Each with 365 posts with artwork attached for each of those days.
