Now this one here is turning out pretty great! Once again though, it’s going to take me forever to fill in all that ink. That’s alright though, nothing awesome is ever accomplished without a good amount of effort. Well, except for maybe intention manifestation! 😉

The green I added to the crystalline structure didn’t really come through in the photo, I’ll have to add more green to it tomorrow. I still have a lot of color and details to add, but I’m a little bit afraid of messing it up. It looks pretty great the way it is! Well, besides the not quite half finished background there, of course.

Just in case I post late tomorrow, for whatever reason, I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween night tomorrow evening!

It’s still not finished yet! Though I probably could leave it exactly as it is and be pretty content about how it turned out. My original plan was to ink the entire white background inside those borders at the top and bottom. However, I’m not sure whether to do that or not as I’m a little afraid it could make it look worse rather than better. What do you think? I think I’ll go for it anyways, at least I have this version saved on this website.

Listening to the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie soundtrack today. It’s so good. The soundtrack might be my favorite part of that movie, which also happens to be one of my favorite movies ever. What a step up from the last Captain America movie, which did nothing for me. Not totally unexpected that he was easily my least favorite Avenger with me being Canadian and all. Now though, he’s my favorite. No question. Love me some Winter Soldier.

EDIT: There! Quickly did this up in Photoshop and I like the way it looks. Totally going to start inking all the background in black. Should take…. forever. Should also be worth it.

I still have a lot of work to do on this one. I colored for a few hours into the evening and missed the sunlight to take a better photo. So the reds are a little quiet compared to how they look on the actual paper. So hopefully tomorrow I can get some work on this done earlier in the day. That’s the plan at least!

I’ve been spending most of today away from home. I’m having dinner with my mom tonight and so I’ve been spending most of the day over there. Figured it would be a good way to spend my Sunday. We’ll be watching the new episode of The Walking Dead at her place. She’s a huge fan. Me, not nearly as much. Though those first few seasons were pretty terrific. I feel the show has lost a little of what made it special. Though I still do see those special moments from time to time.

Not sure where the inspiration came from for this picture. I wanted something that I could spend a lot of time coloring with black ink. Then I pictured jagged branches. So this is what came out of it. Not sure how it’s going to look and if it’ll even turn out the way I’m thinking, but it’ll be something different at least. I plan to make it very red.

What’s everyone doing for Halloween? I was hoping to watch a whole bunch of horror/thriller themed movies, but there’s hockey on that night, and friends seem to be busy. So I’m probably doing it the next day or so.

I’m starting to regret coloring in the blades, though it still looks decent enough. Honestly though, the main reason I colored in the blades is I made a few mistakes with the ink when I was adjusting the length of each blade. I pretty much had to color them in for it to look right.

Hey, what do you know, that actually does look a little like bronze where I colored there today. I’m surprised. It took a long time to do to get it to look this way. I’m happy with the results.

You know, when I look back at when I started over 75 days ago, I can really notice a difference in quality. Or maybe it’s effort. I’m not really sure. Either way the drawings I post are noticeably increasing in overall quality. I definitely recommend to anyone out there that if they want to get better at doing anything, and this should go without saying, do it every day! Do what I’m doing, make it a challenge and do it every single day for a year.

I grew up watching a few of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, and I always loved how unique they were compared to other slasher horror films. You know, “bad guy that just likes to kill other people” type movies. I think A Nightmare on Elm Street is the only horror movie series I really like.

I like how this drawing turned out. Though I do have to increase the length of one of the blades, I think. It should look better when I do that. Other than that though, Freddy’s glove turned out pretty good. Hopefully when I color it tomorrow I can do a decent enough job.
