Look, I'm still alive. Can you believe it? Cause I can't, I'm stunned, quite frankly. The spring semester is drawing to a close, but I've managed to still find time to draw, a few sketches each night - no more than 10 minutes each.<div><div><br /></div><div>And I think I've finally found the baseline for my style, which excites me. I've been trying to refine and fix it up for a long time now, and I think I'm finally figuring out what it is, exactly, than I'm looking for. The sketches below are in a timeline fashion of how my sketching has progressed over the passed few days, in regards to the style I'm hoping for. </div><div><br /></div><div>Right now, don't...even bother looking at anatomy, please. 8|; I know Percy's anatomy is absolutely wonky and horrific, I know, I know. I'm just trying to find a groove that I'm comfortable working in, so right now body proportions are the thing furthest from my mind. Like. Seriously. Furthest thing from my mind. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm making next week my anatomy week - for the remainder of this week, I'm focusing on refining stylistic details because, ultimately, for me, those stylistic details are going to be what dictate how I choose to draw a character's anatomy and body proportions. Does that make any sense? It makes sense in my head, but seeing it typed out, it makes no sense. Idk. I'm tired. </div><div><br /></div><div>ANYWAYS. Remember, these are in chronological order in regards to when they were sketched, and I spent only 10 minutes on each. I sit there with an egg timer, and at 10 minutes, I flip to a new page. Because if I don't, I'll end up working on one sketch way too long, and not getting anywhere. The more I do, the better I can refine little details here and there.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Yeah. Idk if that makes sense, BUT IT MAKES SENSE TO ME AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. ...I guess.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7339/percypercy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 205px;" src="http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7339/percypercy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>Percy~ I really do love her and I think I mentioned this in my last post, but I really do wish she appeared in book one of <i>West Coast Rising</i> more frequently.

I hit about halfway through the semester, and yet I'm only about a quarter of the way done with the 100 drawings 8| ;;; This is not good.<br /><br />This is also the first post of April. Bad us. Bad.<br /><br />Anyway, here's a continuation of the characters from my previous post (<a href="http://greatpumpkinssoupandpete.blogspot.com/2010/03/soup-evolution-of-character.html">link to it here</a>). There are no previous sketches because those were done by my co-author :> I redrew them for the sake of the rewrite, and because.......I wanted to.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LodestarGravitee/DSCN0258JPG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 337px; height: 462px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LodestarGravitee/DSCN0258JPG.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Really need to tweak that back arm.

Yes. My head is also off.

As you can tell, I haven't finished it. I never finish anything, as stated in my first post. And they aren't underwater, the wind is just...blowing up.<br /><br />Take that, Newton.<br /><br />Anyway, that's all for my mini dump. I've been noticing a particular trend recently where my drawings are looking skywards. It's so symbolic that I'm embarrassed for myself.<br /><br />As of this moment, my co author and I are about 40k into this book, which is pretty good. We're trying super hard to keep it as close to 100k as possible, but as of press date, our previous chapter was eleven pages. Over 6k words. Holy fish paste.<br /><br />Status updates as we go. Now I have to check and see if the hot water is working yet, because when you're sick and pathetic, a hot shower is just the thing to boil out all the mucus from your throbbing sinuses and soothe your aching eye sockets. It sort've sucks when the water heater goes out. And you haven't showered since Sunday afternoon. Kind've really sucks.<br /><br />That's all for nao.the great pumpkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12884503618662461321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153278959105849984.post-29283230497996048432010-03-31T12:53:00.000-07:002010-03-31T12:59:35.511-07:00pete here // one lowly character sketch<div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So man.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />I am seriously not having an easy time getting my drawing.

I'm so completely embarrassed to be posting the old versions of these characters that I oughta just go live in a corner after this.<br /><br />Wait, I already do.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll be posting three sets of three characters. One was drawn in '06, the proceeding is drawn I think in '08, and then the final version is '10. Sorry for the craptastic picture quality on the third.

I don't have any new sketches (I've been suffering from some severe mental retardation recently and the lack of sleep has been eating away at my bodeh and I've been drinking profusely--which is profusely for me, not profusely for the regular person my age, or probably profusely for anyone). SO, here are some old sketches, dated back from OMG2006!!!

For the love of Peter, an update! By Pete, nonetheless! Without more than one ancient sketch! With new sketches in fact! Holy Basil Leaf, Batman! I know, this is crazy, isn't it? The fact that I'm actually UPDATING with something. I'm pretty baffled myself, not gonna lie.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Things have been pretty ridiculously hectic, not gonna lie. Midterms are absolutely slaughtering me, completely slaughtering me, to the point where I'm beginning to fall back into my old sleeping habits, fewer and fewer hours a night. Before midterms end, I'll be getting an hour of sleep - if I'm lucky. Now, on top of this chaotic amount of classwork, I've just been offered a tutoring job with a 5th grader with brain tumors. It's been crazy - completely and totally crazy.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">BUT.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've been good - for the most part. Each night, I've set aside one hour solely for drawing and sketching. And...</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">wow</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, I seriously need that hour, because I've absolutely lost all style I used to have :| It's been so long since I've last drawn seriously that I've lost the style I used to have, and while I'm okay with that, I feel like an alien without a planet to call my home. So now, all I'm trying to do is find a style that, for right now, fits Solaris. I've been playing around with a lot of styles and such, so that's why the sketches below aren't really finished. Actually, only...one of them is...kind of finished. For now, these are just preliminary sketches, each of them taking 15-20 minutes each, no more. I'm trying to keep my sketches quick and short.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I would really like to go back and work on some of these some more, on my tablet, once I've refined the style perfect for them though.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There were a bunch of others, but I decided against scanning them because I wasn't especially fond with how they turned out. 8| I'm not overly fond with how these turned out, but I need to post something.

I probably won't be updating every day or near daily, like I was hoping I would be able to. School is completely bogging me down, and a lot of my sketches are off-computer in sketchbooks or moleskines. And that requires scanning.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And my scanner is completely and totally hidden under about three feet of pages and papers and books. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But anyways.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Another older one that I haven't really done too much hardcore work on recently.

Iris. From one of the manuscripts I'm in the process of editing and polishing up and making pretty and fancy. It's set in the 1970s, for no other reason than the fact I'm a fan of the 70s, and wish I was born then. But alas, I wasn't.

<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Not so much visualizing them as translating what I see into my head on paper or onto photoshop. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is an older drawing I've been working on and off for a few months. 8| I keep making little adjustments here and there, adding the occasional details. It's such a big piece. It'll take me ages upon ages. I have a bunch of sketches in my sketchbook, but...that requires me uncovering my scanner.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hur hur. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">That's no easy task. It's covered in papers, textbooks, notebooks, and DVDs. But it's still there. Somewhere.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I rly need some art inspirations. 8|</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">ANYWAYS. Solaris in the sketch, a little older than I intended her to be. In the first book, she's 16 on the fringe of 17, & without the scar. Here, she's 19 on the verge of 20. I think. I can't remember what I was thinking when I started this, but she has the tree.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And the tree is in one of the later books.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This much I know for sure.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But yes.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">
<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Hopefully more recent sketches and such soon </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">

This is also a mask of pure evil. Please understand that I am not responsible for the mental displeasure and or harm that stems from any of my posts, as I am 21. And I tend to act 21. And yes, I do start many of my sentences with conjunctions.<br /><br />Like I said, not responsible.<br /><br />I'm occasionally a college student, working under the facade of an art major when I'm really crawling towards English. I'm not a professional in either of these fields, nor is the following declaration particularly true, but you will often find me walking around with an "I'm better than you" hat the size of Texas. It is a very heavy hat.<br /><br />Now that I've endeared myself to everyone, here's why I've been dragged into an art blog. Part of the deal for my figure drawing class is that I have to maintain a sketchbook, and by the end of the year, said sketchbook must be fat with 100 sketches. That's nearly one sketch every day for the entire semester.<br /><br />That's a lot of effing drawings.<br /><br />Please understand my drawings are not eye candy, nor are they politically or morally correct. (What does a politically correct drawing look like, you ask? Don't look for a good comparison here, that's all I'm saying.) I also often draw racy sketches, so please be advised, some of my future drawings may not be worksafe (nor will they find any life in my school sketchbook, because...well...yeah). Unfortunately for my blog co-owner, Pete, she decided to take on the drawing life as well and together we will draw until our fingers fall off. We're victims of society.<br /><br />My drawings will be about 99.9% my characters, .1% characters of my friends. I do not do fanart. Anymore.<br /><br />Wait. I just did fanart the other day. Okay, I take that back. I only do fanart at weak, weak moments.<br /><br />If by any chance you want me to draw your character(s), please know that I'm not up for requests or commissions at the moment. If you would like the name of someone who would be willing to draw for payment, please let me know and I'll refer you to someone at deviantart.com. If ever I do decide to open up to commissions, I will alert the blog. Otherwise, don't ask or I kill you.<br /><br />Since I have no scanner and no photoshop as of this moment, I will try to update on a near-weekly basis. Believe me, that's pretty ambitious for someone like myself. And if Pete doesn't update while I'm wringing myself dry with aimless sketches, she will feel my fury.<br /><br />Anyway, that is all. Below are examples of my art through the past couple years. Please be aware, I never finish anything.<br /><br />Ever.<br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0U9G96sF7tvkgDvkiHlV5155IFdBpl3xiiYfetlfE8IddZ07wO6qBUwTItEaOS5JLusPdHsceBG3PgdQHPMdQUehRmUf736dR_6R2N8wt9CqCrhlYpHm2dGsoH-m74JQcCM46IeH-sqs/s1600-h/inku_01_02.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

When I'm not studying, I'm writing. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about studying. Or writing. Or trying to figure out how I could possibly do both at the same time. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And, sometimes, on rare occasion, when the planets are lined up just right, and the stars are positioned just perfectly in the heavens, I draw. Sometimes. On rare occasion. Until now. I'm trying to change that, and get myself into the habit of drawing on a daily - or near daily - basis, along with the co-owner of this journal, a lovely lady named Soup. Inspired by her artistic expeditions, I've decided to join her, and we've both agreed to post our artistic travels on this blog.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">For the most part, the majority of my drawings are original characters from my stories. Chances are, the characters you'll see the most of are Solaris, Joslynn, Laura, Lena, Griffin, Jackson, Sponge, Chester, Maurice, Iris, and Whiskey, all from various stories. Right now, they're my favorites, and my most beloved muses, particularly Solaris at this present moment. She's my stubborn, thickheaded little muse, and she loves to torment me. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">So yes. Hopefully, I'll be updating with sketches near-daily, if not daily. So long as my ADD doesn't kick in. But even if it does, I suspect that Soup will kick and threaten me into continuing to post anyway. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Happy stalking!</span></div>the great pumpkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12884503618662461321noreply@blogger.com0
