Last Post on Blogger

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 eventually I slowed down to just doing one type of art and then finally I trailed off. I actually lasted longer on the project than my friends.

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. 😞

Inktober Day 1 - Love Potion

Inktober Day 1 - Love Potion

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. Now I am going to do whatever I feel like. I'm going to pick and choose from different prompts, but if something significant happens that day, I may just draw that instead.
Wish me luck!!😝

Painting and Drawing Classes

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 they jam-packed several classes into one beginner class. I should clarify that it was a digital painting class, however most of the techniques can be used for traditional work and come from the traditional painting world.

Drawception

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 complete their work. The blitz mode only gives the user 1 minute to complete their work
