Yeti December.

Happy yeti December to you all! Be sure to draw some yetis and spread the love. (:

It's been a while...

It's been a long time since I posted here...But a lot has been going on for me, so I had little energy to come here and post things. Life went pretty down hill after my birthday, as my gran who had been ill for quite some time passed away...
I don't have much to report other than that... I've been feeling a bit better lately, and I've doodled a little for you all to see! I need to get back to doing my college work however. I hope you're all keeping well since my disappearance. Have a good day!

A very puff'd post!

Okay, sorry about the last post ending like that. My gran was having a checkup with the hospital and such because they thought she had a lump in her stomach. I'm so glad she didn't... Infact, her organs seem to be in perfect health, so very happy am I! However, she is going back for another test as far as I am aware. Hope the virus infection is dying down.

Been watching a LOT of the Powerpuff girls lately. Me being the little obsessive weirdo I am even got carried away with the ramblings of a certain green, brain buldged chemical-x powered simian, Mojo Jojo! So much so infact that he invaded my doodle diary... Which this time, I have some scans to share with you. Hah! Proof that it actually exists! Take that Amy. I tend not to show the doodles in this book, so feel unlucky to take a little peek into what happens in my head when nothing is happening in the college classes.
I also appear to have an obsession with high lighters...Go figure.

Also, apologies in advanced for that scary Mojo face... I dunno what came over me when I drew that. I'll end this post by just stating the obvious. Craig McCracken is a genius!

Well this time...

Well there's not really much to report on this morning, apart from it's become rather clear that I've got an obsession with Super Secret Squirrel. So now, I shall shove even more doodles of him and his friends onto you!



Please do pardon the last one...I was very hyper when I drew it. Though I must say it's a lot more "striking" if you look at the original. It can be seen here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/PopCornKid/Uhhhh.png

Next up is some fanart of the amazingly awesome Rocko! In celebration of the newly released "Best of" DVDs! They can be found on Amazon, and be sure to look up Joe Murray's newly published book too. I've heard very good things about it!

And finally, a character of my very own. I can't remember wether I've named him or not but "Vincent" does come to mind... Hmmm, I'll have to look it up later. I do believe it's time for me to turn in for the night. Please do enjoy the pictures, toodle pip!

Strange things.

Blogs are said to be places where you write/type your feelings am I right? I have a hard time doing this through paranoia of someone reading it so I will keep it simple. As you may be aware my moods have been very...Varied through the last few blogs, on and off down spells and such.

Well, as it was said by one of my closest friends, "Hey! Maybe you've finally fallen for someone! Love does that to people." now at the time I didn't think much of the idea and completely dismissed it. After all it doesn't suit my personality at all. But after a few days of thinking and pondering it became clear that to my horror this indeed was the case. And so, I've been sickeningly giddy and high on life for a good few weeks now. To the point of me giggling and smiling for no reason and prancing around like a moron. I feel happy but I also feel like I'm being a big idiot in regards to my actions. I feel very very silly.

I suppose I can use the description I gave to my friend! I have butterflies in my stomach yet I have a large vexed expression and deny all my feelings to anyone who even tries to ask. "I hate everyone!" Usually being the one that surfaces.

But jeez, does it feel special or what? The only ill side to it is the lack of sleep I've been getting as of lately. I'm so very very tired right now, I've fallen asleep on the chair twice! Ah well, my amigos have decided to give me a deadline from telling the guy. Deadline being the right word too.... Heh, I think my feelings will not be returned but I only really face rejection, nothing else. I'm not afraid of such things. I just hope he stays my friend.

As for the art work, a little play with the smudge tool again on sketcher created this abomination below. Please enjoy!

Art block 2.

Continuing the art block thing simply because I have been suggested various other ways to prevent it or fill in the gap of having a lack of ideas.

Another way would be to simply start doing gift art for artists you like, for instance drawing their characters interacting with yours, or even another artists characters. Just make sure you ask their permission first, people are touchy about that sort of thing. Plus being polite is generally how you should go around these things.

A few other things would be re watch old shows you like, or things you were once in to and see if you can draw up some art for it. Similar to the gift art idea I know but it tends to work wonders.

And finally the most obvious, go and talk to your friends or other artists.Even start up a collaboration work. This is a great way to improve yourself as an artist and soak up ideas like there is no tomorrow! Not to mention really fun.

These are only a few ways to get rid of art block and I'm sure everyone has there own way of doing it, but I thought noting a few ways of how I and a few friends beat art block would be worth it if anyone wanted to try something different. Hope this helps whoever needs it!

Well.

Onto the practice of human anatomy!...Well soon enough anyway, I plan on creative a study of human figures over the summer and keeping it in a folder/book of some description. I'll be sitting around various spots in Edinburgh and sketching out things when the weather agrees. That is if my plan comes together or not, but I'll be doing my damnedest to make it happen!

For this occasion I have complied a few rough sketches of a human head, but bare in mind people I suck at realism, and this is from memory. No refs were used at all so they're, well, like I said. Rough.

Enjoy!
