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 [12/26/13] & Lana Del Rey

I woke up around 5 AM because I couldn't sleep & something told me to get up & draw something, so I did. This is a sketch of a model I found on Tumblr but I remixed it a little. Ok mostly the whole thing is remixed other than the eyes, nose, & the mouth. I felt like I wanted to do something different so I gave her a goth/hardcore look. To me she looks like Lana del Rey mixed with Rogue from X-Men.  Speaking of Lana del Rey my favorite song by her has to be Dark Paradise. So this is the sketch of the day I hope y'all like this because I do. I haven't done something like this in a while. Okay, check it out & the song that's at the bottom of the picture & I'll talk to y'all later:

Still got work to do on working with hair but other than that I really like it. Still practicing trying to get better. Oh yeah, please excuse the Dre Beats headphone cord that's in the picture.

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. 

Robot Lion: Nike Lebron 11 "Miami Night" [Rough Draft]

This is what I've been working on for the past two days now. This is the rough draft version though. The only thing I do not like about this is the vectoring that makes it look a little muddy but it turned out okay. I based this off of the colorways of the new Lebron 11's that come out in 12/2014 but is available now for $200, don't know if they are real or not so buy at your own caution. I'm not going to buy them because I don't have that type of money, maybe some have that type of money but I don't. Anyway I hope you like this, check it out and tell me what you think:

Still practicing on gestures so I can finally draw people, that is an aspect in my art that I am working on. Christmas is around the corner and school is coming up in a month I think but a lot is going on right now. Still live by the Big K.R.I.T. verse, "So what you been creating on your free time?" Still working hard man, talk to y'all later.

Christmas Party

Yesterday was an interesting day. It started off with me going to work where I met my favorite team since birth the Atlanta Falcons. It took them forever to show up but it was cool I talked to them for however long I had to talk to them before they had to get on a plane & head to San Francisco to face the 49ers, hopefully they win even though their season hasn't lived up to the hype. After that I came home & met with my family for the annual Christmas Party. This party started long before I was born. It started when my cousin, Doug, won a ham at his school & decided to share it with us. It was a way to bring the cousins together & it's been going on strong for almost over 20 years. I love it, it's always great to see my cousins & it's gotten to the point where I get to see my second generation of cousins that I forget are my second cousins. But no matter what I make sure I try not to miss one, there are times where I'd cancel things with people just so I can go to the party. I didn't take as many pictures, these are mainly on my down time when we weren't doing anything. Here are some of the pictures: 

I like the last picture my cousin was tired as heck. We had it over our house this year & man it was a lot of preparing & cleaning up to do I wouldn't wish that much stress on my worst enemy. Overall it was great but I'm back to practicing now. Currently working on that Lebron Lion so I'm gonna get back to work. 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,

What I've been up to

Well I missed my daily sketch but I am still  practicing on getting better though. I am working on gestures and hopefully I can finally get better at drawing people, which is basically what I am practicing on. Other than that someone wants me to design a logo for them which I agreed to because if I want to do this for a living I need more practice. So that is a stand out for today, it seems like things are starting to make that right turn for the better. I don't know what the future holds but I know I just have to keep trying and do what I love to do. Alright talk to y'all later.
