Thuuuuuuumb!
I can tell I haven’t drawn in a while because I was working on a drawing on Sunday and my thumb has been numb and tingly since then (because I hold colored pencils very differently than I hold any other writing utensil, apparently).
I want to keep working on that drawing, but I also kinda need my thumb for, y’know, work next week.
So.
(I’ll probably work on it later anyway, haha.)
Edit: I ended up ripping this drawing up before I finished it because it was ungodly ugly, so that was a complete waste of time.
The Digital Age
So I made my first attempt at digital art today. Behold: Pepper in neon!
(Yes, I know it sucks.)
Drawing in Procreate is very different than drawing by hand. I’m sure I could adjust the brush settings to be much more like drawing with a real pencil, but I didn’t want to mess around too much this first time.
Whatcha think?
Eye See You!
(That’s the most unoriginal blog title ever, sorry)
Look at this eye I sketched:
Doesn’t it look like I drew it with a pencil?
WRONG!
I drew it with one of the pencil brushes in Procreate. It looks so much like real pencil, though!
I guess this is my first “digital art.”
Now I’m tempted to redo my Nick Gehlfuss drawing entirely in Procreate and see how different it looks from the pencil version.
You know, in all that free time I have.
(Maybe over Christmas break.)
Waiter! There’s a Drawing in My Blog Post!
WHAT THE HELL, right?
I haven’t done a portrait drawing since *checks DeviantArt* 2011. So it’s been about 12 years since I picked up a pencil and drew someone with it. But I wanted to see if I could still pull of something that looked vaguely human, so here we are.
For those of you who are NOT obsessed with medical dramas like I am, this is Will Halstead from Chicago Med. Will is pretty hit or miss as a character, but the actor that plays him, Nick Gehlfuss, is great.
And he’s also WAY more attractive than this picture makes him out to be. (Also my scanner sucks.) Sorry, Nick.
I Am Drawing
And OH MY GOD IT FEELS SO GOOD
All my creative energy since November 2020 has been dedicated to that year’s NaNoWrimo (and re-writing it), but I’m taking a little break from that so I can read/edit again with fresher eyes later.
SO IT’S DRAWIN’ TIME!
I forgot how utterly relaxing drawing is.
Writing is not relaxing, but drawing is.
Wild Wings
I freaking haaaaaaate thiiiiiiiis but I don’t have anything else to blog about today.
Horrible iPad Drawings
HEYOOOOOOO so I have an app on my iPad called ArtRage, which is basically a fancy version of Paint. I suck as an actual artist, so I mainly use it to play Pictionary with Nate (we take turns looking up candidate words on an online Pictionary dictionary and try to guess what each other are drawing).
However, every once and a while I go a little overboard with the drawing nonsense. Examples:
(This is called “The Telltale Art”)
(This came out of a Pictionary round, but I have no idea what the word was)
(This is called “Schwa, Bitches”)
Yeah, I suck.
Hearts? Butterfly Wings? Both? IT MUST BE A CLAUDIA DRAWING
Yup.
I like this one substantially better than the one I posted last week, though.
Squares Are Hard
I hate this freaking drawing.
Its main purpose was to check if my scanner still works, though. Which it does. This means that I can start making drawings for my coo encyclopedia!
YAY!
Did…Did I DRAW SOMETHING?????
Yes I did.
I hate it.
Kistler
When I was young (first/second grade? Sometime in the Troy era) I remember watching quite a bit of Mark Kistler on public television. Mark was (and still is!) an artist who taught drawing skills aimed at kids. I still remember his little “Draw! Draw! Draw!” chant he’d do whenever he’d draw a bunch of lines or some other series of shapes/figures. I always thought he was super cool.
I also had a few of his books!
Anyway. Not sure what the heck made me remember him today, but I did and so there ya go.
Holy crap, I drew something
It’s a freaking Christmas miracle.
I sPeNt WaY tOo MuCh TiMe On ThIs
I drew the pommel horse equipment guy from last night’s dream because I couldn’t get this damn image out of my head.
(Sorry for the crappy quality, I haven’t drawn in approximately 40 years and perspective is hard.)
Psst. Hey. Want some really crappy art?
YOU GOT IT, BROTHER.
HEY YOU FARTS, HAVE AN ART
You’re welcome.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrt, matey!
I call it “Total Eclipse of the Heart” because the eclipse is tomorrow and I’m super imaginative and clever like that.
BLOGALICIOUS
MY MOM IS HERE, YAY
Also, have an art.
Edit: my mom bought me Klein bottle earrings. They’re awesome.
SHHS
It appears that I’ve started to move away from hearts and more towards circles now. Meh.
Ye Olde Arte
I’m bored. Have some garbage art from my past, because why not.
BLAH BLAH BLAH DRAWING BLAH BLAH BLAH
While I don’t like like this one, I like it more than the last one I posted on here.
