With the first 100 days securely behind me, I thought it would be nice to keep going with the semi-relaxed drawings for a little while. Nothing all that complicated. Especially with my art supplies running low with no way to replenish them in the near future. I wasn’t even really sure if my black pen would last to fill in those black stripes today. It did. And these guys look neat. Almost straight out of Super Mario Bros.
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.
