draw everyday

I wanna do this, I should spend less time on the internet and get busy drawing and then hopefully i will improve.

I’m still working on this everyday. I’ve been drawing and whether I complete a drawing had been secondary to making sure I actually draw. The sketch may take a few minutes, or a day or two depending on what I am doing,but the actual act of drawing is the main thing. Scuse me, gotta go draw now.

I’ve been told by many people I have talent, but this past year my artwork has… well, disappeared. I’ve made no time for it. But I’ve been accepted into NQ Graphic Design and Animation (not interested in graphic at all lol!). I had to do NQ as I left school with barely anything. So here goes!

Time I started improving… and stop drawing eyes all the time!

This is a chubby bird that’s sitting on the bookshelf at the moment.

In order not to clog this up, I’m going to post the progress on flickr.com,since I’m planning on doing this for a year. By a year’s time I should see improvement enough.

A little rusty…but it is a start.

This is actually part and parcel with a sword and sorcery story I wish to finish in about a year and a half. Drawing the characters is something I have done, but I wanted to get better at anatomy. But there is nothing like good old practice (like everyday) which all self taught artists agree on.
So, I’m digging out my art pencils, blowing the dust off the Prismacolours and here we go…

I was told by someone in the animation industry, that my stuff is got good at all. I need to bust my ass, seriously.

There are plenty of art-related things I need to be doing (projects I’ve put off) and drawing everyday will definitely help me get them done and to stop putting myself down for not being as good an artist as other people.

I took my neice (her first time!) to the art gallery and it was fun. The awards board display was there for the ‘best of’ many catagories – weaving, ceramics, wood, glass, etc. and I was so inspired. We met the facilitator, a young girl full of energy and the love of the arts. I need to draw.
