Sketch-A-Day 2013: Day 7

One week down, 3 more to go!! :)

Lovely, curly-haired (!!) satyr-esque creature with her little dragon companion, with just a touch of Art Nouveau to round it out.

Sketch A Day 2013: Day 6

Sketch-A-Day: Day 6

I don't often draw scenery or landscape... and now I remember why. *heh* Although, this sketch came complete with title when it popped into my head "Temple of the Forgotten."

It's not as grandiose as I envisioned in my mind, but I think that's because of the viewing angle. I need to change the perspective and raise the horizon line, so the viewer is standing well below the arches to get the mood I want.

Sketch-A-Day 2013: Day 5

Day 5's offering ahead!

Well... this proves to me that my portrait-drawing skills are *really* rusty.... especially when it comes to noses, but she's not bad for working without a reference, I suppose... but, damn, noses are weird! >.<;;

Sketch-A-Day 2013: Day 4

Keepin' on, keepin' on with Sketch-A-Day: Day 4!

I need to draw more men... I'm clearly out of practice. O.o;;;

So, man made of fire, controlling fire, becoming fire?

Sketch-A-Day 2013: Day 3

Day 3's offering ahoy!

 

Uhm... I don't know? He's rather a random forest-dwelling -taur-creature-thing. Don't know if he's one of a race of -taur-creature-thing beings, or a spirit or a demi-god or... well, I don't know. I do like him, though! He needs some kind of story... what do you guys think? Would you like to see more of him?

He was supposed to be darker, more menacing... but, menacing doesn't seem to be something I'm very good at. Ha! Probably should have done this on black paper instead...

Onward to Day 4!

Sketch-A-Day 2013: Day 2

Rolling right along with Day 2's offering!

I'm often surprised by what pops out onto paper during the Sketch-A-Day Project. It's a very different process for me than sitting down to sketch something in particular, like when I have a specific idea in my head for a finished image, or a commission project. Unlike the pieces that spin out from people's prompts, every now and then things that emerge during the Sketch-A-Day Project end up intensely personal and clawing their way out whether I like it or not.

It often terrifies me to put some of these things out there for the world to see.

Sketch-A-Day 2013: Day 1

View halloo!!

Happy New Year, all!

It's the start of a new year, and my most fervent wish is a better year than the last, for everyone!

Welcome to the 2013 Sketch-A-Day Project launch!

I've taken to starting the project with my interpretation of the Chinese zodiac's animal for the year, and 2013 is the Year of the Snake (although, the lunar new year doesn't actually start until February 10th.)
