Hand Study

Well this is what I've been up to. I was talking to myself, well not in a crazy way, about what I want to work on next and that was drawing figures. I chose to start on the hard parts first which are hands. Most people would say face or the whole figure but I wanted to start off small. In most peoples art work if you notice they don't always draw hands but the ones that do tend to stand out more. So I spent a whole week drawing hands and I made some progress along the way. Here they are in order of days, also towards the end I added some arms so I could further work on anatomy. So here they are:

Sketch of the day [2/17/2014]

Working on faces now. I got some good advice the other day about if you want to learn to draw faces better you should start with the skull. So here it is you will see more skulls for the next couple of days. Here are some side views, also I'm using a different technique instead of drawing with my wrist I'm learning to draw with my whole arm. I'm getting more movement and longer lines so that's a good thing. Check out the sketch, more to come:

Patience: The Great Elephant

This is the end result of what I have been working on for the past week. I am getting better also I'm proud of myself with every sketch, video I watch, and even some books that have been recommended for me to help me become great. What I like about this is the progress, if you notice that the top flowers are different from the rest of the piece. I have been looking at so many Youtube videos on how to get better at art that the style that most of them used stuck to me and that's how those flowers came out. Everything else is somewhat the same but I'm paying more attention to detail. I am proud of this one I will only get better from here so check it out for yourself and tell me what you think:

A lot has been going on lately, once again Georgia was hit with the snow/ice storm and everything kind of stopped for a while. As of now I have been busy with work, kind of, school, I have started back working out and eating healthier so that's a plus, and also trying to be a better person. So as of now my schedule is tight but everything is good right now, plus I have a test Monday. Anyway, I'm learning more and more about being a graphic designer, I just have to keep practicing and putting my work out there for the world to see. Looking at this I still have a lot to work on but I'm getting better one piece at at time. It is going to be a long process but it's what I want to do so I just have to keep practicing and working on it. If it came easy then it means nothing, so I'm going to keep working at it. Alright talk to y'all later. Peace.

My Progress

This is my progress on my Elephant Chain project. I am still working some things out at the moment but for now this is what I have come up with. I am trying to get better at Gimp I am inspired by a guy named CT Chrysler that I am going to show you guys later. But here is what I have so far, so enjoy:
