Dang my bad lets catch up

Sorry about the little to no content lately I've been working on somethings but haven't posted on my blog and I feel bad let me catch you guys up on what's been going on as far as my artwork is concerned. 

This is the design I worked on for a couple of days. This came out of pure frustration because of class. I was so mad at myself because I knew I was better than the work I was putting out in class so I was telling myself to chill I got this. This design came out pretty good too, I tried to put as much depth in it as I could. I can say I am getting better with Illustrator and trying out different things in order to find what I like. 

I got a ton of sketches that I haven't even posted on my Instagram but I chose this one, because this is the only one on my phone lol, and also it shows a story that I liked as well. I will tell you guys I get a lot if compliments on my sketches which is a pleasure to hear. I'm trying to go back to the one sketch a day thing I started a long time ago. 

This is an update of my JH logo. I feel like this is a progression of what I have learned in school and as a designer looking at more professional artist. My older one looks like something I would do as a beginner. I based it off of everything I've learned so far in my class and as a designer. The corners aren't so sharp and the colors compliment each other. Also I paid homage to my old logo by putting the letters within it like my older version. 

I hope this helped catch us up but more to come as the year progresses so stay tuned and ENJOY!

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. 

My Sanctuary

This is a quick sketch I did on the last days or weeks of school, this area was my sanctuary. This was a place where I could go and just think about the day, bust out a few sketches, and also see some good looking females. Actually the last part was the main reason why I would chill there, off subject my school has some nice looking females. Back to the picture. I wanted to sketch this out is because I didn't want to forget this place I chilled at for about a couple of semesters now. I think most artist do that at times just to give themselves a reminder why they live through the day. At times it might seem as if it is nothing to other people but to an artist something so simple as an couch could mean a lot and symbolize many things. I get all my inspiration from this place and the people I've met. I learned in order to be a good anything you have to talk to people; you have to have an opened mind because everyone has something to say that could make you better. Or not depending on the person. Just thinking about makes me miss school a little.

On a side note, I love human interaction. If I stare at someone I observe and don't say anything that just means I'm really interested. This is why I loved this area this was my spot it was never boring. All jokes aside I’ve met and seen some interesting people at this spot, I guess people are drawn into a friendly smile. You never truly understand life with your guard up, your eyes straight, and your heart closed. I have one more semester at my school and that will be it but I will never forget the people I met that made me a better artist. And also those who have made me a better person. There is more to this spot but I’m too lazy share it with you guys right now but I promised to post at least one thing a day so here it is. ENJOY!!!

Quick info

It has been a while, things have changed from what I can see. School has been a big factor in why I have not been blogging as much but I am gonna try to change that around for this upcoming year so bare with me. I made a commitment to myself to draw at least one picture a day. The reason why I have kept this commitment to myself so I can never lose that passion for what I do like most artist. Once a artist loses the passion for what they do it is a sad sight. No matter is it is art, music, dance, poetry, writing, or even in the medical field, once it is gone it is hard to get it back. So if you love doing what you do don't let it die. You guys can expect some of the art I did from my drawing class, a brotha is getting pretty good. Before I forget hit me up on twitter at @DatBoi_Meat, I know it is funny but it was a high school thing plus I don't know how to change it. Trust me I will be ''constantly'' trying to blog something at least 5 times out the week. 

Anyway more art to come and more blogging as well, well I'll try, PEACE.
