Colorama

Holy crap am I into colors right now. Especially my Copic markers - I haven't used them in ages and found them again while doodling the picture for January 8th. And by the way, I haven't missed a day yet with the sketches!


Here be sketches from January 4th to January 7th.


January 8th. I decided I wanted to draw a giraffe and a friend of mine told me that it should be green. Who am I to argue? I won't take responsibility of any damaged retinae, though.


9th. Bright colours.


And this would be a bonus I drew today at about... 3:30 a.m.?

This spring is going to be so busy with school and all the other things I have going on right now. I should be doing schoolwork so I don't have to panic with them later, instead I'm still up and about at 4 a.m. drawing green giraffes - what's the matter with me? :D

It's just that I'm starting to get my flow back. And it's only been a little over a week that I've drawn daily - it's really working, just drawing and drawing without too much pause. I'm feeling optimistic and ambitious about drawing in a way I haven't for quite some time!

Back in Vantaa - back in business.

Summer whizzed past faster than I imagined, and to be honest I haven't picked up a pen and drawn even nearly as often as I should have. I practically did NOTHING during the summer when it comes to drawing.

Now I've returned to Vantaa and after two days of on/off cleaning and relaxing, I've decided to get a grip and start drawing, and I need to remind myself to do it every day. So I've actually thought about setting up a picture a day project - not sure if I should pick a theme for it or if I should just draw something. Then I'd naturally be posting those here. That would also be starting from next week.

For now, I don't have much, but enjoy the little I have.


I told Sanna to tell me what to draw, and she asked one of her characters. This would be Jiro - I had enormous trouble with her, as she is an anthro catwoman, and I couldn't for the death of me get a realistic enough look with the characteristic lips still there. So I settled with the fastest and most impulsive of the sketches I made. I associate this one with Marvel, for some reason...


Part of a current WIP.

It comes to this...

Howevermuch I used time and effort to create a fancypants sketchblog for lasitettu.net, it seems it wasn't meant to be, since eventually one does get fed up with 30 comments of spam per post per day. So I thought, why not try Blogspot, as many of my friends have found it to work well.

So, without further ado, lets get down to business. A few sketches from monday and tuesday - I was supervising the entrance exams to the graphic design line in my school, and spent the six hours a day reading Harry Potters (for the umpteenth time), joking with my friend (with subdued voices, naturally) and drawing.

I've been quite taken with bears after studying them a bit for the Piglet Brave illustration.

This is... uh... the God of Morning Breath?

And this goes straight to the WTF -department.

It's an ostrich! Lady! I actually like this so much I might remake this into something I put more effort into.

And now for something completely different. These aren't actually so much sketches, these are parts of my Piglet Brave -illustration. Since most of the spreads had only one chapter of text but some had two, I needed something to make up for the space that was left when there was less text. Here be couple of those space-fillers.

Page 2. The cat and the rooster were about to build a house right under the tall birch tree, where this owl lived.

Apparently, I won't add more, since Blogspot won't let me :C I'll give you anuther one of these later.
