State of the Artist: 2/17/2014

View halloo, all!

I'd hoped to have the first Work-A-Week piece done today, but too many Real Life things have conspired against me... I am working on it, though, it's just not done. -_-;;;

That said, I have actually been drawing little doodles every day since the end of the Sketch-A-Day Project last month. These are much smaller, rougher sketches, about half the size of my Sketch-A-Day drawings and much quicker, less detailed sketches.

I thought I'd post them up for you!


In order to reduce the amount of posting (unlike the Sketch-A-Day Project) I'll be posting these once a week in batches instead of every day. My goal is to complete at least one sketch every day for 2014, leaving me with 365 sketches by the end of the year... let's see how well I can stick to the plan! *fingers crossed*

Today will be the heaviest of the Daily Doodles (as I've come to call them) posts, as I've been drawing for two weeks without posting any of them. On with the show!

I don't know that there is all that much to say about any of these, but feel free to ask questions if you're curious about any of them!

Some of these were inspired by the prompts posted by the Sketch_Dailies twitter account, and others were simply whatever struck my fancy. If you've got prompts or ideas, please, leave them in the comments!!

Some of these may end being developed into Monthly Postcard Project images or new, full-size, full-color finished works in the future, who knows! For now, they're just exercises to keep me drawing every day.


Well, I think that's all for this week's State of the Artist update here on Planet Kit, I hope to have the first Work-A-Week Project piece finished soon!

I thank you for joining me again this week! Feedback is the food which fuels the creative discussion between Artist and Audience, please, feel free to comment or leave suggestions for new projects!

Work-A-Week begins!

View halloo, all!

Well, the poll is closed and the votes counted, so the 5 Sketch-A-Day pieces with the most votes will be turned into finished pieces every week for the next 5 weeks!

Here are the winners, in descending order (please note, this may not be the order in which they are completed):

People have asked if the Sketch-A-Day drawings are available for purchase, and the short answer is yes! As I make my way into the Work-A-Week project, I'll be uploading a list of their pieces and respective asking prices. So, if you've got your eye on a certain sketch or sketches, stay tuned for that post.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for the Sketch-A-Day project, it's much appreciated!

As a side note, I've been doodling since the end of the Sketch-A-Day project, on a smaller scale than the Sketch-A-Day originals (all at 9x12",) but, if people are interested in these other random doodles, let me know and I'll start posting them, too. These sketches are a lot rougher than the Sketch-A-Day pieces.

Work-A-Week 2014 Poll Time!

View halloo!!

Well, here we are, done with the January 2014 Sketch-A-Day Project and moving into the Work-A-Week Project, and that means, it's time for voting!

I've split the polls into 7 day segments (and one for the last 3 days.) They're all multiple option polls, so you can vote for as many pieces from each poll as you like. The 4/5 pieces with the most votes at the end of the next 48-hour period (through February 5th, 1pm, Eastern Time) will be the 4 pieces finished over the next few weeks. (Substitutions may be made in the event of ties, but all the upcoming Work-A-Week pieces WILL be chosen from January's 31 sketches.

Each piece will be posted on a Monday, back on the usual State of the Artist weekly schedule, complete with some progress photos, if people are interested.







Thank you!!
