30 Day Digital Sketch Challenge: Day 5

Day 5. I’m feeling better.

And why did I draw Tack the Cobbler? Because I saw “The Thief and The Cobbler: The Recobbled Cut”, and I fell in love with Tack because he’s adorable! When I saw that he was given a voice in the Miramax version, I was like ” BLASPHEMY >:( “

I hope you all love this little guy, because every time I see him on screen, I just wanna’ hug him. ^3^

30 Day Digital Sketch Challenge: Day 4

Day 4 of the challenge, and I missed the midnight deadline. Bugger.

Lately I’ve been rather “AUGH” with deadlines and procrastinating, and I hate procrastinating, so that adds a whole new layer of “AAAUUUUGH” to my plate. And when I’m feeling really overwhelmed, I draw monsters…like this one.

He popped up in my head earlier today, but just the head part with the eye out of its throat. I made up the rest of it as I sketched it.

This is WAY different from my usual flare, so sorry if this freaks you out.

30 Day Digital Sketch Challenge: Day 3

Day 3 of the Digital Sketch Challenge.

No lie, I whipped this one out (that’s what he said) the fastest so far. This only took me about fifteen minutes, lol.

This time, I really wanted to play with the smudge tool in MyPaint. I like its effects. :D

30 Day Digital Sketch Challenge: Day 2

Woohoo! Just before midnight!

This is Day 2/sketch 2 in the 30 Day Digital Sketch Challenge! (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out my journal entry on my page).

This time I wanted to make a quick sketch of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which I’m in full support of. I support them because they’re all people about my age or a little bit older (nearly all of them are just out of college) and all of their efforts to make names for themselves have been frustrated because of the economic crisis caused by Wall Street corruption.

That’s the basic summary of it, but it’s much more complicated than that. If you want to have a debate with me about it, please send me a personal message, because I want to try and avoid debates being had in the comments below.

Thanks, and enjoy!

30 Day Digital Sketch Challenge!

So I have started a new challenge on myself!

Every day for thirty days, I am going to make (and post) a sketch done digitally!

The rules are that the sketch must be done in one day, and take no more than one hour. Fanart IS allowed.

I’m doing this challenge for a few reasons:

1) I want to practice my digital sketching skills.
2) I want to stay in the practice of drawing everyday.
3) I want to practice what I don’t know.
4) I want to share it with the world!

Here is my first sketch in this challenge: a cat ninja.

Because of one of my current comic projects, I’ve been on a bit of an anthropomorphic kick, especially when envisioning anthros as bad-ass warrior types. I blame my current fixation on Kung Fu Panda and martial arts movies.

Critiques are welcome for this sketch, especially since digital is a medium I’m still fairly new to. KEEP IN MIND, however, that my arsenal of digital media is limited: I can only work with an open-source software called MyPaint. I don’t own Photoshop. There will be some features that I cannot access because of that.

With that said, I hope you like it, and I hope you look forward to more sketches from the challenge!
