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.

Tired

I don't remember the last time I posted on this thing but I'm gonna try to get my stuff together. A lot has happened since I last posted something on here. I quit my old job and I'm currently working at the airport but soon I will be moving on the somewhere else when school starts. I got a new laptop. Now I'm trying to buy a car but something is telling me to hold off on that I might try to invest in my future. I have been thinking lately that I need to invest my money in Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. To most people that doesn't make any since but I think that is the right decision for me right now but who knows things happen. I can't promise you guys this but I'm gonna try and draw something everyday and post it. So day one might start today, who knows.

Ms Chill

This is gonna be one of the designs off the new Chill Mode collection. I'm proud of this design because it was mostly hand down with a few details from the computer to give it a more professional look. This took about 4 or 5 days to complete with the drawing, coloring, plus a little procrastination. Two days on the girl which included her outline, skin tone, and everything else. I spent hours just working on the outlines and shadows alone not to mention touch ups. I'm slowly finding my style when it comes to my craft. The background is what I'm really proud of since I drew the whole thing. Let me say I am horrible at landscapes but I'm just proud that this came out looking something like the picture. 

Everything on here is hand drawn other than the ribbon that took less than an hour but was still pretty hard just to get everything symmetrically the same length and width. I love colors if you haven't already noticed mainly cool colors with a little warm colors that helps the viewer look at the whole picture. I'll keep you guys posted when the shirt go on sale but until then tell me what you guys think.

Voka Jimi Hendrix Painting

Just something I found just to pass the time I know I have been lazy with the blogging but I will be back but until then ENJOY the video.

Song of the day: Damn Your Eyes (Etta James Cover)

This is an artist from London that has sparked my interest his voice is amazing to me it has so much soul in it. This is a Etta James Cover he did to one of my favorite songs from he titled Damn Your Eyes. He almost matches the intensity that she had when she was sing this song. I feel in love with this song the first time I heard it check it out for yourself. ENJOY!!!

Here is another song by him if you liked the one above this guy has natural talent check out his live unplugged performance of his #1 song Too Close.

 

Dabs Myla

I've been following this couple for a while now, as you can probably tell I am heavily influenced by the graffiti culture. This is a couple from Australia but has moved to California and has blown up in the graffiti culture. One thing I like about them other than their style is that they work together and look like they are having a great time. This is great when two people that love each other are working and enjoying themselves. At times it doesn't work but they make it seem as if it does. I like them because they both balance out each other's strengths and weakness. This is a perfect match I love how two people who are different can come together and act as one. The video below will show you better than I can tell you also check out their website at DabsMyla.com. ENJOY!!! 

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!!!
