Hello, Haven't been here in a while!
Wow, I haven't been on here in quite a while! I have been blogging over on my Blogspot and neglecting LiveJournal for a while. I've been trying to concentrate on my art and my writing, and I stumbled across a link from Selina Fenech's Facebook profile to a Sketchfest by EMG on LiveJournal. I love the idea of spending a day doing marathon sketch sessions, especially when they have prompts to help give you inspiration and prevent you from running out of ideas that day!
So what have I been doing? I started a sketch a day which I started well, but haven't quite kept up! I would like to start that again, as I do think it helps, and gives me plenty of options for pictures to work into a completed piece I can be proud of! Plus it gives me ample opportunities to challenge myself and improve my skills. Here's a couple of pieces I did for the sketch a day, the first one is of a spaceship I did from a book, Awesome Things to Draw, which I found quite easy having step-by-step instructions, and I love how it turned out.
The second drawing is an attempted portrait of the character 'Blair' from Terminator: Salvation movie. I really struggled with her, but think it turned out ok for a sketch of her. Practice will make perfect, and people are my artistic nemesis!
I hope you like my latest sketches, here's hoping I manage to do some more soon to show you!
Thanks for looking!
