Well I haven’t updated for a couple of weeks, thought I should probably put something up.

Spent about an hour or 2 on the Swordswoman with an H and 2B pencil. It’s been a while since I actually sat down and used a pencil to draw for more than 10 minutes. Lately, I’ve only been using Photoshop for everything. Anyway, this was fun, I’ll be doing more.

Oh, and here’s a pouting Akemi.

Here’s a sneak peak of the next chapter of my comic, along with some doodle I did while trying out the new brush pen I bought.

Still doing some practice with animals, this time it’s a leopard, next up is a badger (thanks to my sis for all the suggestions, haha). Also, making some gruelingly slow progress on the Toph piece. I’ve also started work on a piece that should’ve been done almost a year ago, it’s a fanart of Luke from the game Tales of the Abyss for my friend in Canada. She requested it a year ago, heheh.

I just bought 2 new sketchbooks, ones with hard covers, side binding, and white paper. The first one I bought actually had a yellow tint to the paper, which I didn’t quite like. It was binded by glue at the top, which made drawing on my table even more troublesome as I don’t have a lot of space on it to begin with. Scanning’s also a lot better now. Anyway, I’m now totally pumped up to draw in my sketchbook everyday as it’s no longer a chore! Haha, and here’s the first few sketches I’ve done. Oh Akemi, how I’ve missed you so!

By the way, I finally found this drawing I did 2 years ago! That’s my friend, Krissy, in the car and me on the bicycle. Haha, such good times. Anyway, I plan on finishing that along with another drawing for a friend…which I have yet to get started on…Sorry Melissa! I kinda doubt you’re reading this though, haha.

Started thumbnailing again, it’s amazing what a difference thumbnails can make when working on something, as opposed to simply winging it. I find it seriously helpful and should do it more often.

BUNNY!

Yeah, more practice with animals, used a reference off Google again. Hm, I also actually drew in my sketchbook! Like…on paper, the things made from trees? Yeah, that paper. Not the Photoshop ones, har har.

I need to do some anatomy studies.

Another speed painting, now of a Javan Myna, a pretty common bird in Singapore. I fail at drawing animals, thus I thought this would be good practice. I used a reference image for the anatomy. Also worked on some simple figure studies this morning, didn’t exactly have a model at my disposal so I just used Google. Took about 12 minutes for each one.

A quick 2 hour speed painting of a scene from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Just needed to get back into the flow of drawing daily seeing as I blew the last 2 or 3 days playing Call of Duty 2’s single player campaign.

Tis be the spawn of a conversation I had with SAB-CA on DeviantART. We demand a 2D Avatar fighting game! Because not everything has to be in photorealistic 3D this generation, we would love ourselves some Hi-Def 2D sprites, of Avatar, no less.

This is just a rough sketch…another addition to the backlog of other pieces I’m currently working on. I’ll be trying my hand at ’spriting’. Although, I must admit that I have absolutely zero experience regarding pixel art.
