I've had this blog for over 9 years. Some of the years I was more active than others.
I started this blog back in 2008 when I was working at NYU and two of my coworkers (now friends) suggested we all do a one-a-day project. I wanted to post a different photo and drawing each day, but I was challenged by my friend to create something from Photoshop everyday. I tried to do too much at once and Enchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-57808153831035254542017-10-04T21:18:00.000-07:002017-10-04T21:18:16.677-07:00Inktober Day 4 - Underwater

I was super simple today. I have a problem with not drawing enough contrast. Well, one of my many problems.

Good idea, bad execution. It's the story of my life. This looked different in my head. For some reason I keep drawing from this perspective and small. And i just noticed i forgot to finish drawing the book. 😞

It's that time of year again. I decided to torture myself again this year and try to participate and finish Inktober. Last year I got to day 15, so let's see if I can at least get to day 20.
At first I was going to follow the main prompt, but I saw several different prompts from different artists online that looked interesting.

Last summer, I took an 8 week painting class. Looking back at my archives, I'm surprised that I didn't upload any of my work to this blog ... actually ... no, I'm not surprised. None of the work was blog worthy. It was basically an 8 week course that for some art programs would take several classes to explain the concepts. And this was a beginner class! Only now that I know more do I understand Enchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-68878405949693666922017-07-16T12:56:00.001-07:002017-07-16T12:56:37.971-07:00Drawception
Eiffel Tower drawing on Drawception by me
Back in May I learned about the site Drawception.com. It's a site where you have to draw the prompt that the previous person wrote or you have to leave a prompt for the next person to draw based on the drawing you are viewing. It is basically the drawing version of telephone game. The regular game has 12-15 people and gives each person 10 minutes to Enchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-3810175611970149432016-11-06T22:58:00.002-08:002016-11-06T22:58:31.615-08:00Penguin Sipping Tea
It's a penguin in a sweatsuit sipping tea in a hot air balloon.
This was just a silly challenge. I wasn't planning on putting anything underneath the balloon, but later on I felt like making it a full illustration. However, I messed up on the trees and they look more like rocks, which still works. I also couldn't envision how to make trees show up in the background/distance without making Enchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-8508559321001130492016-10-27T21:07:00.000-07:002016-10-27T21:07:01.628-07:00Inktober Day 16

Day 15 Relax
I took the photo in bad lighting and was to lazy to take a better one. I didn't turn it black and white to get it to be lighter because of the green ink. I attempted to do an ink washed. My friend was vacationing in Thailand, so I decided to draw him on a Thai beach relaxing.

Day 14 Tree
I should have shaded the hair/leaves in more, but I was lazy ... I also didn't think of it until after uploading the photo. It's 1am. I'm just glad I got it done. I'm still 9 days behind.

Going back to simple or else it might take me another 10 days to finish.

Day 11 Transport
Well this was way overdue.
Fuuuuck me! I'm not doing another detailed drawing for the rest of the challenge. And, it didn't turn out how I really wanted it! I was taking too long to finish it, so I started to cut corners and cut things out. Work and other life things helped to hold me back too. I nearly gave up on the whole project because I couldn't get myself to finish Enchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-48516995532823847482016-10-11T01:25:00.004-07:002016-10-11T01:25:46.643-07:00Inktober Day 10
Day 10 Jump
I have no idea why I decided to draw this with a fish eye perspective. I cut off the left side of the image, so it wouldn't look so weird. I also don't know why I left the back blank. I'm dreading going back to work tomorrow, and I think I was a little distracted. Ugh. These days I am constantly rethinking my life choices.

Day 9 Broken
Broken in many different ways. This is Micheal Jackson as the scarecrow in the movie The Wiz. I love this movie. I was tempted to watch this again tonight, but my mac mini died, and I'm a bit too lazy to find my portable DVD drive to play the DVD. Maybe tomorrow ...

Day 8 Rock
Clearly my worst one yet. I have no idea why I didn't think to use a ruler until the absolute last minute. ugh!
If I ever get married, I think I want the engagement ring stone to be amethyst surrounded by diamonds. I did a bunch of research while looking for a ring to draw and I like the following rings:

Posting this late because last night I felt like shit. Another suggestion by my "art director". My first time drawing a cat.

Day 6 Hidden
He is still pissed from day 3.
I started this before my "art director" had a chance to give me ideas of what to draw. However he gave me ideas of what to do for tomorrow's word.

Day 5 Sad
So now my friend seems to want to be the art director on this project. When I told him what today's prompt was and he heard what I wanted to do, he suggested that I draw a little girl standing and sad because her ice-cream fell on the ground. I originally wanted to draw a silhouette of someone with their arms wrapped around them and sitting against a wall. So I combined both ideas Enchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-67741649691725591852016-10-05T01:20:00.001-07:002016-10-05T01:20:17.804-07:00Inktober Day 4
Day 4: hungry
I was originally going to just do the adult ant alone. During lunch I drew some thumbnails.
Later in the day, I saw my friend and told him my idea for today's prompt. He started imagining so many things like the baby ants following behind with sprinkles. So I did some more thumbnails to see how that would look.
I liked his idea and decided to add it to my drawing. ThisEnchanted Droppingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00619890757353089499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464553332292974263.post-64317217971499497612016-10-03T23:56:00.000-07:002016-10-03T23:56:50.705-07:00Inktober Day 3

I used india ink markers and colors pens. So I'm still using ink.
