More detailed than usual.....

CHARACTER 006: PIRATE MAGICIAN

Pirate.......that can use magic.

Here's my most recent drawing. Some kind of Devil/demon character as you can see.

CHARACTER 006: SECOND FEMALE ATTEMPT

Well here's my second attempt at a female. I think it turned out a lot better than the other one. It didn't take as long either even though there's more detail so that's also good. Looks like I forgot to finish off her right foot though....lol. Ah well....  Oh, and there's also meant to be a scar on her left thigh but I didn't draw it in hard enough and the scanner didn't pick it up by the looks of it.....gaaaaa I need to start taking more care of these things.

CHARACTER 005: ANOTHER GUY

I'm pretty proud of the face/head head of this guy. Actually it's probably the best so far....?Apart from around his stomach. Not sure how to do proper shading around there yet~~!!.

CHARACTER 004: ATTEMPT AT FEMALE

I tried drawing a female as I just about never have properly tried to do so, or at least complete one. It turned out okay I think... That weird thing that kinda looks like a swords is well.....supposed to be a sword. It's got a weird handle type thing but you can't really see it. Oh well. Her arm pit is a little weird looking too. Oh, and don't mind the other weird little scribbles next to it....haha

CHARACTER 003: SKULL WEIRDO

Not sure what this guy is supposed to be. Just ended up being like this as I drew.....
It turned into some weirdo with skulls and some skull like thing on his head.

CHARACTER 002: STYLISH MONSTER

Here's another dude that I've drawn. He looks too plain....well I suppose that's because there's no shading or colour in him...I usually don't have a plan as such when I'm drawing, although I may have a general kind of idea and some smaller specific ones. That weird monsterish hand with the fire coming out was a later addition and as you can see I didn't spend much time on it....and his left foot is kind of smaller than his right.. I think I got his face/head fairly well done though?

CHARACTER 001: Kind of imaged myself when drawing....

Well this isn't the first drawing I've done since picking up pencils again, but I forgot to scan the ones before it.....and the scanner is at my parent's house. I don't think it's a particularly good scanner either....but nevertheless you can see that I'm not good at drawing clean lines, or doing much shading.......yet anyway....

Although it's a little bit embarrassing to say, I imaged myself when drawing this, well at least the face...
I always fantasise about being a character in stories like manga/anime etc and often make up scenario's in  my head. The pants kinda look too plain in my opinion and the flowing scarf bit doesn't look right but I think that's about as good as I can get at my current level. Which is very annoying.

I was reading Jojo's Bizzare Adventure at the time so I think I got influenced a bit by that too.

Hmm...

Well......this blog is just going to be me posting random pictures that I draw basically.

I've always liked to draw, but for various reason's I never seem to be able to finish drawings that I start off properly. I used to draw a lot but went through a period of barely getting past the scribble stage for several years. I'd like to start taking it a little more seriously though, because I always have idea's in my head of things that I 'd like to draw but never seem to be able to hold it there long enough to put it on paper......

It's taken a while to get used to drawing again, and it takes me a while to get things look somewhat right (like arms, eyes etc) but I'm getting there......I also suck at shading, so I hope to improve on that as I do more drawings.....I also take really long to draw, mainly because I lose concentration easily and can't project what I want and how I want it on the page, so I usually leave the picture for a while and see if I can remember what I wanted, or think of something fresh later on, and draw it bit by bit.

It might be a time eating method, but it's better than just abandoning half done pictures like I've done in the past. I'm a big fan of manga/anime so I'll be drawing mostly in that style, but it would be a more 'realistic' looking style rather than the deformed proportions that are common in this genre. I'd like to draw my own comic/manga someday, as I often fantasise and imagine worlds and stories but I'll definitely need to get better and faster at drawing before I do that. At the moment I just make too much of a mess.
