Versus: Day 6

Versus

Today was the first day I struggled a bit. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to focus on drawing things I’m familiar with rather than always trying something new. I would also (as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before) like to try and keep things simple. Not spend hours trying to do something better than the day before. No more of that. Tomorrow I’m just going to keep things simple and not spend hours drawing. There, I’ve written it down on here a few times so far, so I have to listen eventually! Right?

What I drew today is pretty much a comic panel.  I have some books on comic drawing and I might read some tonight so I can try some more comic panel drawing tomorrow. I re-used and edited a couple creatures from my stash today. I threw them together to see how well they would mesh. They definitely look like they are from two completely different worlds, but I love that! Reminds me of Marvel Vs Capcom 2, where you had sprite characters that were clearly from completely different video game series’! Actually, I should somehow do this with some of my other creations. Like a mash-up of everything I’ve done. Whoa, that would be kinda neat actually. I’ll probably never follow through with that idea! It sounds neat in my head, but in practice I don’t think it would work at all as the creatures and worlds I create are too different from one another.

I want to draw people in the future. I mean, well… obviously I want to draw future-people, like with laser guns and stuff, but I mean sometime in the near-future I want to try drawing people. I have to suck it up and just see what I end up with. I know it’ll suck for awhile, as I’ve always avoided drawing people, but I’ll post it anyways. Then continue doing it for a week, or longer, to see if there’s any change. We’ll see. I’m no good at planning things out! I suck at planning almost as much as I suck at drawing people.

Inspired by Charcoal: Day 5

"DragonRising" created by Robert Chapman

Here we are at day number 5! Once again, I was away from my apartment so I have another non-digital drawing. I brought my sketchpad and filled an entire piece of paper with pencil lead. I drew a few different things and this piece took the longest, and is the most interesting. The other drawings I decided to trash were basically like creatures. Or bits of creatures anyways. With this piece though, I didn’t like the clearly visible overlap of where I was coloring everything in, but now it’s kind of neat to see exactly where I shaded and the pattern is pretty neat.

I definitely got my inspiration from reading this interview here with another artist. I love her artwork. I’ve never worked with anything other than pencils, pens, and the digital stuffs. Her charcoal pieces are fantastic. I think everything has an eerie feel to it when it’s done that way. It’s just dark. I love it. I don’t own any charcoal stuff, I just used some 8B pencils and tried my best to take my time, and keep my hands off the page! It’s pretty messy stuff.

I think it’ll be back to digital artwork for tomorrow. I want to do some more work on that lizard thing I drew yesterday. Maybe expand on it. Perhaps into a proper comic book panel or something. At least, that sounds really interesting! We’ll see what I’m in the mood for tomorrow.
