Damn Dialogue

Okay, so I finally got rid of my lazy and found a camera that works. So after spending an hour or so on resizing I am now finally ready to update the blog.

Rant first, then art.
Today's rant will be about the comic I'm trying to draw. Okay, I can draw. I'm kinda good at that. But write? FUCK NO. I'm trying to write dialogues in my comic, but I realise I fail. I could have a friend do the writing for me, but then it's not MINE, get it? Oh well, I'm just making the comic to make comics, not because it's gonna be awesome, so I guess it's alright.




A painting I'm working on right now. No, the colours do not look like that. Stupid camera.



Same painting.



Inspired by Alphonse Mucha. I'm going to paint it in watercolours soon. I sat down and was ready to enjoy some drawing, but no. I had to spend at least 30 minutes doing maths before I could start drawing. Mucha must've been both an artist and a mathematician.



Damn flowers.




1 minute croquis.



30 second sketches from posemaniacs.




3 minutes croquis.



5 minutes.



Two of my rather gay OCs, Uindo and Kaze.



Croquis of a pregnant woman. 3 minutes, I believe.



About 4 minutes perhaps?



2-3 minutes.



3-4 minutes.



I dunno. Someone gave me chocolate.



THE HORRIBLE MATHS I HAD TO DO. I did even more that that though, but I didn't have to write that down.

Quick rant

I was supposed to upload a lot of sketches yesterday, but the camera hated me. So I'll just post a mini-rant here for now. I'll try to find another camera when I get home.

Today's rant is about reference. I so often hear people brag about having drawn something without using reference. It pisses me off. Why? Because that means you are not doing all you can to make your drawing or painting or whatever look good. Think about it, is it not better to have a very nice and well drawn drawing that you have used reference for than having an ugly and half-assed drawing where you haven't used reference at all? If it could be better if you only used some reference then for the love of God, USE IT. I really wish I used reference more often, but I either forget or I am too lazy. But the thing is, I don't brag about it later. I want to punch myself for it later because something looks off and I know it could have been better if I used reference.

And now class is starting again, so that was all for now. Hopefully I'll submit some sketches later today. See ya!

Café and croquis

I keep forgetting this blog. Huh.

Anyway. Some changes have come into my life recently. Well, not recently, but you know, since my last entry... So I thought I'd update my two followers about that. Although I believe my two followers visit this place about as often as I do myself... eh. The changes are basically that every Wednesday I now attend a croquis class and every Sunday I go to a café in Oslo and sketch people with other serious artists. Oh, how I've longed to be with other like-minded people. I thought I'd be that once I got into high school, taking art and all, but no. I often think choosing arts here was a mistake, seeing as it takes up so much time and I'm not really learning more than I would if I got ten hours more every week to hang out at ConceptArt.org. Oh well.

I've learned that if I want to be as good as I want to be, I've gotta work even harder. Might seem difficult now, but it'll be easier once the sun comes back for real. I've gotta stay focused and be intense. Whenever that negative and lazy voice shows up in my head, I'll PUNCH IT IN THE FACE!


WARNING: NAKED MEN(no visible penises 83)
Here are some somewhat recent sketches:


Div fanart.








Anatomy studies are much more fun when you make the models look like OCs. Above you can see my oh-so-manly Uindo.
