Creation

Ahh~ I love the turians from Mass Effect.
I focus too much on faces, so I can't remember how the rest of their bodies appear. I remember reading that their fingers are tipped with talons?

I kind of want to make a turian OC. Meh. Probably won't happen, too much of a challenge for weedol me.
Ooo, but drawing this gave me an idea. Aria is one of my favorite non-party characters. What if, as a drawing challenge, I switched her race to...

HMM! Now THAT I want to draw.

Laggy laptop wouldn't let me do much for a DD. Stuff just wasn't happening, so I got fed up and went to sleep. Hoh!

Welp. I got something done before I spent the massive amount of effort into today's DD.
I finished the Alsoomse pic.

Boy, am I struggling.
There is an icepack wrapped in a teatowel under my laptop to prevent it from overheating.

Last night I came up witha drawing challenge for myself.
I've forgotten so much of how to draw and what my style is about that I've realised I need to start from the beginning again. The first time I really wanted to push myself and get better at drawing was when I was in either Year 9 or 10, when I would frequent a Teen Titans oekaki. I drew the most basic, boring pictures. Looking back I can say that, but at the time, man I was so proud of the shit I popped out. I would only draw one style repeatedly; just lines and basic colouring all in oekaki pixel.
I doubt I can produce that basic level of oekaki drawing now, because I can see the flaws as I draw, unlike when I was starting out like then.
So. my drawing task is to develop the Batucada which I started in 2010 and get it polished. Also to develop an anthro character. If the Batucada gets released to SBP (if it comes back) I feel like it would need some support by introducing a Batucada NPC. So far the story I'm giving this NPC might result in two NPCs being developed, but I need to take this on one step at a time.
Work on the Batucada, work on the NPC, and then maybe the second.

I want my groove back. My art mojo. I definitely have the mojo this time, but the groove is missing.

Today is ridiculously hot in Ballarat. I wanted to get some work done today but there have been complications, and this hellish heat.

I found an artist on deviantart... this morning? Last night? I can't even recall when.
His name is Andrew Ryan and he is extremely talented. He is doing just the things I hope to be doing!
He's only 25 and soso talented. Bursting at the seams with talent! Ah, it was a reminder of how far I have to go. I wanted to get a lot of work done today.
I'd seen his works before posted on Facebook, a few from the Dragon Effect series of illustrations he did were posted I think on the Mass Effect page. Creative and amazing, reeeally adore his work.

Because of the heat my laptop has been overheating, thus making it a pretty undesirable way to get drawings down. I needed to get pencil drawings done today, but then life happened. Fuck.

Hey, finally, a FENWIF.
and that's all I did today. woo.
now I'm going to sketch watermelons. I was standing in the "fresh" produce area of coles today, eyeing watermelons.
I was like.
I.... must draw you-- um, some. I must draw some.
