Inspirations #1 'Winter' IS LIVE!!

Yup the first addition the the 'Inspiration' webcomic is now up: http://arrowroot.deviantart.com/art/Inspirations-1-Winter-150499148

Although there is a lot I am unhappy with it was very much a learning experience and based on what i said in the description I will not tear it to pieces.

Was sketching some hands last night very briefly also i am sharing with you some of the sketch work I did for this first comic.

A new year brings new art.

So with the beginning of a new year I made a new years resolution to myself to work harder on my art work and get closer to becoming that professional illustrator :P

As the past few weeks/days have been passing I have been producing more art work, however I realize that some people may not see it as a lot of it never meets the cut for finished product.

Because of this I am re-vamping this sketch blog. I will try and update as regularly as I can (hopefully eventually daily) with at least 1 pic of what I've been doing.

I am also trying to bring to life a new website at the location: www.ihazart.com which will eventually be the home place for my new webcomic which comes to life Jan 15th called 'Inspirations'

The first image I wish to share is something I worked on last night whilst listening to Blue Skies by Strays Don't Sleep.

In theory I would love to get this thing finished as it's kind of a key moment in my super secret comic that I am always working on in the background and hope to one day be my little gem.

The others are just some of the other stuff I was doodling over the transition of 2009 to 2010 and a preview of the new website layout.

Working on a new website.

This place seems to get very little attention.

I'm working on a new personal website for myself which I hope will be fully running in the next couple of weeks. I am just making sure I have decent art work ready for it.

I may also be linking directly to this blog and hope to use this as a more personal/detailed up date system than twitter. We shall see.

Keep an eye out

So I'm finally all set up desk wise, and slowly uncovering all my art materials.

Moore corel painter practice

So I've been arsing around in this programme... its a little complex to me still but I'm slowly getting there, I'm not using heaps of layers like I normally would which is nice but also means I cock up a lot. For more complex effects I tend to throw it back over into Photoshop.

here the latest.

I've also attemted a sketchblog at concepart.org: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2334250#post2334250

Not much there at the moment but hopefully I'll update it weekly if possible.

Nightdress Colour Practice

Yeah just another little look into some colour practice on painter. As well as traditional inking exercise... I'm getting there *le sigh*

Summer Luvin...

So I haven't really posted here in a while.

School payment is all done and now its just a waiting game until can go back and learn the REALLY INTERESTING STUFF!!!

So i'm trying to sketch as much as I can at the very least. I even reduced my sketch prices down to $5 instead of $10 ... and actually got commissioners ! lol yay! Before I went back to england to see the family I was doing a painting most mornings to start off my day, but I've lapsed since I got back :(

I'm trying to get in some practice for painter x as well.. i'm getting there slowly but whatevs... I'm never happy with anything I draw... but i can't spend 10+ hours on one image like some people do... not unless its an actual painting sitting in my room rather than a computer screen...

Hopefully I can get my art desk set up properly in our new apartment so i can really get a wiggle on on my art work and commissions. see how it goes....
