Sketch of the day [2/22/14]

This looks way better on paper but this is the sketch of the day. Two of my favorite players from the Western Confrense Damian Lillard and Lamarcus Aldridge. This is the first step of this I'm thinking about digitally doing this over and see what I can come up with. I'm going to keep trying to get better. Also I've been busy lately so that's why I'm not updating like I should but I'm gonna try to have something done each week. So far this is what I got, I'm proud of this because I'm getting better with faces so I can do it in my style.

Sketch of the day [2/8/14]

I'm trying to get back drawing something everyday. I don't like the King Snake all that much but I do like the Boy Wonder, I will say this I like the glass look on the snake's upper helmet compared to the other one. Now I am trying to balance everything from my school work, to my art, to working out, and just other aspects of my life. So expect to see more from me whether it's good or bad and also expect to see that elephant project I'm working on sometime next week. Here it is I hope you guys like it:

Sketch of the day [1/28/14] Godzilla the Monster Therapist (black &white)

This was a fun sketch I did I called it Godzilla the Monster Therapist. I'm getting into the making my art tell a story. This is the black & white version I'm thinking of adding color to it to make it more interesting. For now this works so check it out & tell me what you think:

 

Also like everywhere else, or for the most part of the world, it's snowing in Georgia and here is a glimpse of what it looks like in my neighborhood also check it out under Photography. I need to take more pictures and post it in photography so look over there for more later. 

Sketch of the day [1/21/14]

Come to think about it this just a preview of the next project. As of now I am working on buying myself a drawing tablet so I can start learning how to draw on the computer. I've now narrowed it down to a Monoprice MP 1060 Graphic Drawing Tablet but I have to see if it's compatible with Gimp the software that I use & if it's compatible with Windows 7. So far the reviews are great and I like the videos that people are posting about it. Well back to the drawing, for now I'm gonna leave it at black and white, I want to try this out on the tablet when I get it so stay tuned for that. Anyway I hope you like the drawing and stay tuned for more:

Sorry about that/Sketch of the day

Sorry about this. Lately I've started school and I've been busy as well. Today has been hectic as well running around trying to fix my driver side mirror. I backed into a poll so yeah that's the end of that story or as much of it as I'm willing to tell because I feel stupid about it lol. Anyway, I got school, work, and other things going on. But I think I'm becoming a better person my mom said I should work on one thing this year as a New Years resolution and that is...I don't know I'm still trying to figure that out. I think it's faith. Anyway this isn't a recent sketch, I did this last year, I'm working on something today so here it is: 

Sketch of the day [1/13/14]

As you can probably tell I'm back in school, it was a great break but it's back to hitting these books. This year seems like I'm gonna be busy. Here is a quick sketch I did of my teacher in my Statistics class which is my last class of the day. You can clearly tell I was paying attention in class :-). But yeah here is something sweet & simple, as I get back to this studying. Alright peace. 

Throwback Thursday

I'm gonna start doing this little throwback Thursday thing that I got from Instagram. This is a sketch I did, I think a year ago of a warrior, I called it Taurus. It is interesting to see where you progressed over the years so you ca keep up with your progress. I'm doing this because I found a lot of my old drawings & thought this would be a great idea. So here it is tell me what you guys think about it:

Sketch of the day [1/7/14] [Drug Test Comic]

I wanted to do something different today so I decided to do a comic of how I expect my drug test conversation to go tomorrow. I was suppose to take it a couple of weeks ago but when I got there no one was there so I left. A few weeks later like after Christmas & New Years I just forgot about it. As I was trying to figure out what I was gonna draw today I got a text from my boss making sure I come in tomorrow to take the test. So I gotta drive to the airport & take another drug test, I don't smoke & I barely drink so I don't know why I have to take this test but I'm gonna do it anyway. So here is the order in reading it:

1. I'm here for my drug test. (me)

2. You were suppose to take it 3 weeks ago. (Boss)

3. What can I say, I had to get it all out my system. (Me) 

4. That's nothing to joke about. (Boss)

5. Calm down it was a joke. (Me)

6. Now go in there & per in that cup. (Boss)

So here is the sketch, I like the warm cool contrast but it's mostly warm I think, I haven't been in color theory in a while. Anyway, here it is:

Sketch of the Day [1/4/14]

Today I did something different I drew a collage of different stuff animals, flower, builds, etc. I don't know what else to say about it but I like it. I used pencil & ink in order to make this thing work. It started off as an accident but then it worked out for the best. My favorite part is the elephant and also how different shades come together in order to make it a great piece. Also I got a new phone today so today was a good day I wonder what you guys can find in this sketch, take a look & I hope you guys like it:

Sketch of the day [1/2/14]

This is my first sketch of the new year. This started out as a accident like most of my sketches and it turned out okay. I think I am addicted to watercolor now or I think it is the fact that I like using something new. Anyway, I lost my train of thought watching this movie called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel which is a great movie by the way. This sketch is just a collection of stuff & I like it. So check out the sketch & the movie:

Daily Sketch [12/29/12]/My day

This is my daily sketch, I call it Sun Goddess & her pet. These are watercolor pencils that my parents gave me for Christmas & I love them already. I like how you can't control what the watercolor does & how it's just like water, it flows how ever it wants. I like what it did with the hair the way it looks like fire & how the hair has movement to it. Check it out for yourself & tell me what you think:

How my day went:

The girl was complete accident I was trying to draw a model & failed but I stuck with it & it paid off in the end, I'm proud of what I did. Today was eventful to say the least. I got a call from my friend Friday saying another one of my friends wants to meet at Five Points & chill so we got in the car on Saturday & headed there. When we got to the train station, our friend wasn't there it turns out he went home when we got there. So the obvious move, decision, was to say forget it & go home but...I wasn't wasting my gas for nothing. So I & Dameel, my friend, wanted to get something to eat. It turned out that the Atlanta Hawks were playing tonight, so we bought tickets on the spot. Usually I wouldn't do this but hey the tickets were cheap & they were playing the Bobcats, a game no one cared about. So we got the tickets & grabbed something to eat. 

We finally found a table to sit down at because it is hard trying to find a table to eat at in the CNN Center, yes the actual CNN center, it's not that big of a deal if you're from Atlanta but if you're not then it's probably a big deal. We started eating our pizza that we bought & these two girls sat right beside us but in the beginning we didn't pay them any mind but Dameel asked them a question a few minutes later, by now we are a little buzzed from the drinks we were drinking. So we talked we got their names, they were smart young girls around our age. Long story short, it was a great conversation, we got their names & numbers & we headed to the game about a quarter late. 

Got to the game the Hawks were losing despite how good they are this season but it was a great game. It came down to the 4th quarter & they tied it up with a three pointer sending it to overtime, the crowd was going crazy. In overtime they trailed but they came back & won the game by two or three points if I remember correctly. I enjoyed it not only because the Hawks won but it was "supposedly" Dameel's first time going to a Hawks game & we saw one of our old classmates as a Hawks Cheerleader, yeah she's that beautiful & talented, but overall it was a great night. I say this to say, go out & be spontaneous & have fun because you never know what could happen. And those girls I was talking about early invited us to go ice skating on Sunday, and me & Dameel never ice skated before so wish us luck. Alright talk to y'all later. 

Sketch of the day [12/24/2013]

This is a sketch I did earlier today, I wanted to mix it up. So I sketched it out & added a little color. There are a lot of things that I am not good at and flesh tones are one of them but that is just another aspect that I have to work on. I saw this picture of this model & I loved it she showed so much emotion. I like the way it turned out. In the first one you can see some of her personality come through and that is something that every artist wants and that's to see that his work has personality to it. When you look at it further it looks like the face isn't suppose to go there but the grey pops out more than the color. The grey makes the faces stand out more while the color takes on another personality of it's own. I hope you guys like it as much as I do, so check it out:

I don't really have much to say I like the markers that I used. I don't have much to say maybe I'm just tired so I'm gonna talk to y'all later. 

Sketch of the day [12/19/2013]

This a collage of what I did today. I went to work at the airport to fill out some paper work. Came home & watched The Sopranos then I practiced on some gesture drawings. I'm  trying to tell myself every sketch is not going to be a work of art just as long as I practice and keep active I should get better. Other than that everything is good right now just working on a lot of things. The guy who wants me to do a logo for him was suppose to be giving me some ideas today but he said he had a lot going on so he should get back with me next week. Well here is the sketch. As you can tell I am still working on the placement of the facial structure. I did not align anything I just went for it. In the right corner you can see the gestures that I worked on. And hopefully you guys can tell that that is a plane on the left:

On a side note I am working on that Lebron Robot Lion thing I posted a couple weeks ago. Just got done with the outline and I am starting on the color today when I get up. I don't know how far I'm gonna get with the color aspect because of all the cleaning and work we have to do before our family come over for this Christmas party. Well that's it for now,

Daily Sketch [12/17/13]

I told y'all that I was gonna do a sketch of the day and here it is. I am practicing on my landscapes & buildings it turned out differently then what I expected it. Other than that it turned out good in my opinion. I like the way the clouds turned out and how the background looks. I liked how this sketch turned out it turned out good to me, I hope your guys like it. Enjoy:

Daily Sketch [12/13/13]

This is today's sketch. I got the idea from just playin around on a piece of paper & it transferred over to my sketch book. I hope you guys like it:

I was debating using color but I just decided just to leave it black and white. I'm still working on my composition but I will get there in due time.Overall I love the kid in this picture, I hope you enjoy looking at this picture as much as I loved drawing it.

Rough draft (Sun Goddess)

This is the first draft of my new sketch that I'm working on called Sun Goddess. It's not done as you can see I had to hurry things up a bit because of the five page paper I have to do. Trust me when I say I'm never doing a summer course again unless I have to. That means I'm gonna try my best to post even small doodles but that might even be rare. I also have to buy me some new pens because I have misplaced mine, man I've been slippin' lately but I'm starting over now. I can't make any promises but I will promise to draw something everyday. So here is my rough sketch of The Sun Goddess aka Ms. July.

Little Black Book

This is something that every artist has or should have some call it a sketch book others their studies but I call it my little black book. Whatever you call it is a place where your imagination and your creativity runs free. In this blog I am going to draw something everyday to show you guys my progression and to further my skills as an artist.

My first drawing in my black book a teddy bear drug lord.

Yes I know these are some bad pictures but hey it is all I got for now so stay tune for more.
