Finally!!!!!!

I at least was able to get one actual drawing done. I had this idea form song lyrics and came up with this. It came together pretty quickly and I am overall pretty pleased with the result. i haven't drawn on this paper in years. it's done on strathmore medium drawing paper so it kind of has an off white yellowish tint to it. I usually do all of my drawings on bristol board so this paper was a nice change. 11" x 14" in charcoal. Here are some process shots too.

Feel like one

I 've basically been working on smaller stuff this summer. I wanted to work on things that wouldn't take me forever to finish because i really have very little motivation or patience as of lately. I've mainly been sketching, or doodling actually, so I have come up with a few ideas for projects that i want to eventually do. It's just really hard for me to just create for some reason. I feel like if I do something it has to be a good finished polished product or else it's not worth doing. i don't know why i can't get over it and just experiment and try new things even if it ends up coming out horrible. So this is me slowly starting to do that. I did this little drawing with charcoal on colored paper, there was also some ink and paint used, and then i messed with the colors in photoshop.

Wow, so I've kinda been not as productive as I wanted to be this summer, but I have accomplished some stuff. I've had a wacom tablet for a few years but have never really used it that much, so one of my goals this summer was to learn how to paint/airbrush digitally. I tried it out a little bit but didn't create anything amazing. It's pretty difficult for me and will take some time to get down, so I hope I eventually get better at it. Here is my first ever painting attempt. It's an owl!!!!



I also wanted to do some real painting. Once again I didn't really get around to doing it but I did manage to pull this little painting together. It's done in acrylics on some scrap wood and it's of a snake!!!



Nothing amazing here but I just wanted to try these mediums out and see what I could do.
