Digital Sketching

Journal Entry: Mon Jul 7, 2008, 2:39 AM
  • Mood: Lazy
  • Listening to: Ludo
  • Reading: nothing - any suggestions?
  • Watching: my dog sleep...I'm jealous...I should sleep too
  • Drinking: good ole water
So...I've been slackin on my scratchboards lately.

I sit at my computer night after night listening to music and chatting with friends and thinking of different ideas to work on. And nothing happens. So I decided while I sit around at the computer and not work on my portraits and such, I might as well do SOMETHING creative.

So I'll be doing these quick little drawings on the computer while I chat with people and listen to music. They're drawn in illustrator with a loose brush and then colored in photoshop in a carefree "watercolor" kind of feel. I'll probably be experimenting with drawing and coloring styles. I think they've turned out pretty neat so far. And it's kinda fun...not as tight as I usually work. It's nice to work loose like this.

Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas I should try out!

hi lydia,
glad you like my stuff so much. luckly, im pretty busy at work so im getting the chance to do some neat stuff. otherwise i wouldnt be creating anything!!! i actually think i burned myself out from drawing so much over the last 5-6 yrs b/c now i almost HATE to draw!!!! hate to draw just about anything!!! but im glad i can inspire YOU to draw more.
as for your work, i like your Florence pieces. ive always liked that loose sketch style, but am totally incapable of doing. ive tried - i cant do it. im toooo detail oriented and i cant break out of it. hahaha

My goodness, I'm lovin all these new pieces you're pumpin out! Seriously, you've inspired me to do my work a lot more regularly now. Check em out if you have some freetime. I'd love some critique from you.

Yeah, I just got back into the swing of things for my "new years resolution" haha. Scratchboarding is my "thing" for the time being.

well its just a sketch i did of a made up character, its heavily anime influenced though. if you want a different one, then just give me the details of what you'd like me to draw and i'll do my best to interpret it ^^

Oh yeah? What kind of piece is it?

I have to figure out where you'd send it. I have a problem getting anything bigger than a normal envelope delivered to my apartment. So, gimme a little time on that. I might be able to get it to my parent's house or a friend's.
~zero21:iconzero21: Jan 25, 2008, 11:27:20 PM
^^ cool cool

well i have a piece i'm pleased with and i think i'd like it to be the piece i trade ^^
if you could send me a note with your address i could send you the original if you want
