Life Or Something Like it

In the midst of my not-so-happiness, I got the idea for this drawing and slowly hacked away at it. One of my only drawings that look complete. My eraser was used minimally, and I threw caution to the wind for this one, not caring too much about making lines straight or being consistent in the patterns. I also played with background colours, which I don't like in the least bit here, but I threw it on here anyways. I prefer black and white, though some kind of colour scheme would work well with this...

I do realize any words about my drawings are a bit sophomoric. I apologize for that.

Thanks for reading/looking.

The Mighty Owl

Sweet dreams.

Sketches of... (my sweetheart the drunk...)

The lack of March updates can ultimately be attributed to laziness. I am making it up by with this blog, full of non-sequitur doodles on crumpled looseleaf pages I had drawn this past month (or so). I'm listening to Meshuggah's new album Koloss as I write this - what's up with the over-compression in some of the songs?



"Catch 34"
What I thought would turn out to be an infinite tube became three tapeworm-like creatures oriented in such a way that it reminded me of Meshuggah's "Catch 33" album cover, hence the title. (Excuse the run-on.)



"Ernie fishing for the biggest catfish in Plaquemine County"
At the height of my desire to draw a catfish, I saw (coincidentally) the episode of "River Monsters" called "Killer Catfish." Incidentally, I had recently watched the Sesame Street sketch where Bert and Ernie go fishing.



"Clique"
This is pretty self-explanatory. Excuse the typo.



"Cookie"
What can I say? The dude loves cookies.



"Grover attains enlightenment; Oscar looks on"
Grover does yoga, but you'd never know it. The sign of a true enlightened one.



"kooKIeSS"
Card-carrying member of the KISS Army.



"Hair & He-Man"
Practicing hair-drawing. On the left, the back of a girl's head in class. On the right, well, He-Man.

Wet Ink

 

Skin & Bones

Wet ink...

I've been into drawing teeth and the human skeleton as of late. Here's a drawing consisting of both.
It took me a great deal of courage-building to trace over the original pencil sketch with a sharpie for fear of ruining it. You can see the shakiness of my hand, but I think it turned out okay.

I have a few drawings backlogged and waiting to be finished, then inked. Here's to procrastinating doing schoolwork.

Staff Head

Here's a random drawing. Reminiscent of the Tenacious D's Pick of Destiny, or perhaps the head of Skeletor's staff.

If I may toot my own horn (no pun intended) for a moment, I would like to draw (no pun intended) your attention to the detail (second picture). I am quite pleased (... impressed) with the texture and effect to which I gave the underside of the horns. I am very new at this whole drawing thing, (or, to use a pro-wrestling term, "green"), so please forgive my unwarranted conceit.

My Heart is in Your Hands

I made a quick sketch of this in the margins of my notes to keep me from dozing off in class.  My friend looked at it, turned to me and said "I hope you don't kill anyone."

I have been meaning to colour in the "shading"/"shadows" (whatever you want to call it) but never got around to doing it. I had moved on to other things.

This is my first heart I've drawn. I think it's pretty decent for a first attempt. I should experiment with heart-drawing more.
