I sketched a butterfly tonight

02-14-21 – My Valentine

This is a quick 1 hour sketch of @martasaur in the bath. The second sketch is the same sketch with the same reference photo, but done 11 months ago. The second sketch I worked on for about an hour and a half before I deemed it a failure. I was so embarrassed with the outcome when I first did it. I didn’t even post it. I actually did a totally different sketch of Marta that day (03-12-20) to post instead.

I remember feeling so frustrated back then with my skill level. I wasn’t thinking about the fact I’m a totally self taught artist. Or that I do art for fun and to relax. Now I find myself trying to do things way more ambitious than my skill level just for the fun of it. It was Marta, my Valentine that said “Just draw something else.” – I was only 4 days into my daily sketch idea and even though I already felt like giving up, Marta was nothing but encouraging.

I’m coming close to my goal of 1 year of daily sketches. After that I plan to focus on bigger art projects that I can spend more time on… My art wouldn’t have improved at all this past year if it wasn’t for Marta’s support. You are my muse. Thank you for always getting my back, calming me down, and keeping me focused on the things that are truly good for me.

02-13-21 – Trying to think outside the box…

This is just a rough 50 Minute sketch. I’ve had this idea floating around in my head the last few days. I think it would make a really cool painting if I worked on it a bit more and fleshed it out. Thoughts?

02-12-21 – Happy Chinese New Year

I’m very tired and didn’t leave myself much time in the day to make any art. So here is a very quickly done sketch of a Chinese Dragon to celebrate Chinese New Year

02-11-21 – Tarzan is Dope

@martasaur and I watched Tarzan tonight.

02-19-21 – General Baboon

I did a quick sketch of a derpy General Grievous. While I was drawing him, I was thinking about what animals could have had some inspiration in the design of Grievous. Then I started to think about what animal he most acts like. I’ve been rewatching The Clone Wars animated series. If you really think about it based on the first 3 seasons, he acts a lot like a baboon

A skeletal knight cursed by a necromancers immortal sword ️

02-08-2021 – Happy Birthday Mr. California Roll

This awkward looking drawing is of Hidekazu Tojo. The creator of the California Roll. He created the California Roll in Vancouver. I was today years old when I learnt this as @martasaur I made California Rolls at home for dinner tonight. I also learnt it was Hidekazu Tojo’s Brithday today so I did a very poorly executed study of him

02-07-21 – Study: Blue Sea Dragon

My friend Vinny suggest I draw a “Blue Sea Dragon” tonight. So I did just that!

02-06-21 – O-on… Guard

This is me trying to force myself to do more full body pose practices but dressing the pose up with a fantasy character. I believe I’ve called this character “The Shy Knight” in the past

02-05-21 – Baxter Ruffhouz

This is a quick character concept of a human fighter I was thinking of tonight that could be used for a D&D or Pathfinder campaign. May girlfriend @martasaur and I were talking about designing player characters. We wanted to make characters that are an older couple who’s quest is to travel to their retirement home on the other side of the kingdom

02-04-21 – Concerns of Death

I saw this really cool looking sculpt of this bearded skull on the @vergerm Instagram page. It kind of bounced around my head and inspired me since I saw it. So I figured I’d do a little timed study of it

@martasaur I celebrated Groundhog Day by watching Groundhog Day. Just a straight up good, classic movie. It was a really nice night

01-31-21 – Marianna Sunrise

This is a redraw of a drawing I made back on April 26th of 2020 – I’ve become much more brave with my use of color and this was made in a much bigger sketchbook than the original. The mermaid also seems to have a much more calm expression oppose to the original that felt more apathetic. I feel like both are pretty representative of my mental state at the time of drawing them too. In any case, it was a fun study to gauge how much I’ve improved in the 9 months between this and the original. Will tumblr take this down because of the boobs or is it okay because it’s art?

01-30-21 – Oni Hunter

I was a little ambitious with this drawing. It’s not rendered out the way I wanted, but I can’t expect too much from a single sitting drawing. I don’t normally draw full scenes cause…well I’m not very good a perspective and foreshortening and other fundamentals that I keep negating. I may start to make that more of a focus of my study’s. I also only used the colors that I’ve used the least out of my pastel set to make this lol

01-29-21 – Yellow Face

I wasn’t feeling artistic at all tonight – this was the least embarassing doodle I did tonight lol
