was supposed to be a quick doodle, just so id have done something today - turned into something like two hours of doodling.  when i sketched the face, it didnt look nearly as much like me, but doing the lines, it ended up being my nose, so i just went with it.  yes, i know the legs are wonky and apparently the raised ankle is broken or something. i cant be bothered to fix it.

while i do own that particular bra and underwear (and wore them yesterday, go figure) i am not that thin, nor do i play the he-loves-me flower petal game. i am not quite that besotted.

i banged this out in about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. not satisfied with it, aside from the hair and maybe the eyes, but i'll work on getting it right after i get some of my speed back - and since this was a speed exercise more than anything else, i guess i shouldnt pick at it too much.

another WoW pic. this took way too long... something like five hours start to finish.  fun, though. maybe i'll do another tomorrow, if i have time after doing all the weekend chores that have piled up...

warcraft night elf

spent the evening doodling. of the several things i got done, this is the most presentable.  it took forever to color.  i am so out of practice that i am making newbie mistakes and having to go back and redo entire layers.  i do like the way the hair turned out, though.  so lets see if i can convince myself to do a few more tomorrow.

so much for the Sketch-A-Day idea.  now that i have three days off in the middle of the week, though, maybe i can manage a Three-Sketch-A-Week plan.  we'll see.

will start off with a quick sketch i did last night. obviously i am out of practice at this kind of thing.

getting started

it seems that most of my artist friends have art blogs to keep a running record of sketching, lifedrawing, and works in progress. i figure i'll set one up and try to keep it updated in an effort to get myself back into drawing daily. at this point, i cant say if it will work as a motivation or not, but here's hoping.
