I just drew a really nice hand in this illustration. BEAUTIFUL, even. The figure can never live up to the glory that is the hand.

Maybe I should just call it finished and leave it as-is. It's postmodern!

Between conversations on twitter and my general adoration of drawing, I have decided to put together a few links for my illustrator- and artsy-type friends. Note that I do link a few PDF books, but they are not legally available except used and upwards from $60-$200. I recommend buying them if they are ever reprinted, or found at a price that is ( Read more... )

I don't really understand why, but I just spent the past two hours revamping my damn LJ Scrapbook into a more efficient portfolio-type gallery. You can find it here. I'm going to upload more old stuff to it, but this is better than just letting it sit and rot.

While I wait for that to come through, though, I'm going back and finishing up projects I started and doing sketches for upcoming ones ( Read more... )

While listening to the Penny Arcade/PvPonline D&D Podcasts.I have been neglecting posting, but to be honest I have been ridiculous busy. Not even counting homework-type projects, I received my award for that comic I drew about the spider and amphipod, wrestled with the school to be able to graduate next year, and started on another commission. I am ( Read more... )

Alright, so unfortunately I'm too busy to do cards like I did last year, but I will offer people small sketches/doodles of their choice! It won't be anything spectacular like a fully-realized illustration, but I'll do what I can for people ( Read more... )

I've had a surprising (to me) amount of people ask what color theory is and how much it matters or affects art. However, a lot of the real scientific theory is boring as hell, so I'm throwing it out the window for this post in favor of teaching people some stuff they can use without falling asleep. If you're interested in the science, you can look ( Read more... )

Trying to get as much homework done as possible this weekend so I can devote the rest of my week to working on finishing my project for Broadcast Design. I'm really being overwhelmed by it, and I think the majority of the issue there is that I tend to get huge massive awesome ideas, and yet I don't have huge massive awesome skills or shooting ( Read more... )
