Christmas Pin Up 2012

Season's Greetings

Couldn't decide which background I liked better.

Paintings for a new project

This is what I wanted to be doing today, except I think if I really tried to cartwheel that it would look even more clumsy.

As you can tell, I spent a good deal of my time this weekend in front of my computer. Here are two monster pin up girls that I was playing around with.

Tried something a little different today. Also got a new brush pen to play with. Expect to see more of these rough sketches in the future. Thinking about making the daily sketches more about situation and what's happening in my daily life then about the clothing.

Day 46, 47, & 48

The last 3 days. October 6, 4, & 5

Day 45

Day 44

Was trying to go with a full tummy look, but it isn't reading as clearly as I wanted it to. Also I am so far behind on clean up, that I'm not sure I will be able to clean all of them up. If there are any in particular that people like I'll start with them.

Day 44

Day 43

Day 42

Not exactly the happiest with this sketch, but all can be fixed in the clean up phase.

Day 41

Day 40

I swear I wasn't in a sad mood today. Don't really know where the idea for this sketch came from.

Day 39

Day 38

Finish for Day 35, 18 & 16

Tried something a little different for August 30. Kept the colors really simple and did a simple ink line in Photoshop. Think I may stick with the other method though.

Day 37

Day 36

Day 35

Day 34

Day 33

Now and Then

Was looking through some earlier posts and found the girl with a teddy bear. Some reason I like drawing girls with teddy bears and thought it would be interesting to show a then and now. The sketch is from earlier this month and the other is from 2009. Also made me realize that I didn't post enough or for that matter draw enough since leaving college. This is unacceptable and the situation will be remedied.

Day 32

finish for Day 30 & 26

Day 31

Day 30!

Can't believe it's really been 30 days! Met my goal, but I am having so much fun with this that I think I will keep it up. It's been really good at getting me to sketch everyday and get in the habit of posting things.

Day 29

Can't wait for fall to truly begin.

Random sketchbook page

Just thought I'd post a random page from my sketchbook. You'll see both yesterday's and today's daily sketch in there.

Day 28

Day 27

Made it in just under the wire. At least this time it's a finished piece.

Day 26

Laundry Day.

Day 25

Here's a quickie. Had to draw a self portrait for class today. Not really very happy with it. Hopefully I'll get some good tips when he goes over it later. Also you can only erase so many times with newsprint before it won't take anymore.

Day 24

Here are some variations on today's image. Just thought I'd post the sketches I made in the process. Going with the middle drawing for today. May make the head slightly larger in the final version.

Finish for Day 10

Really need to stop wearing my vans.

Day 23

Day 22

Found myself continuously fixing my shoe throughout the day.
