Well the lines might still be off, but hey you can't really tell with all the details! I like taking pictures of my sketches because I can really hone in on what may not be working, or what tones need to be changed. This may go on for another day or so. 

​I'll post again tonight with another update. 

I fell off the face of the planet, quietly shutting my door and taking some much needed breathing room over the last couple days. Too much personally and professionally piled on all at once making a perfect storm. 

This is the dreaded free work for exposure we've all been warned to stay away from. I haven't gotten more work because of this art. But I don't really care! I think here and there we get to chose where we donate our time and skill set. I probably will no longer donate free work like this, but it certainly gave me a boost as I was starting out. ​

Originally this was just a logo, as pictured. I expanded it to brand new materials that include menus, possible stickers or a stamp. 

What nonsense can I write about today to make this post look fully developed? Well, my YouTube suggestions are a weird mix of celebrities (because I watched that one interview that time), animals, educational vids, movie trailers, life in japan, tiny living, self-help, drag, comedy, and asmr. Wow, that was totally interesting and vulnerable, and now you know me even better! :)

Originally this blog was for being disiplined and getting back my creativity outside of work. But, I think I might be putting too much pressure on this drawing time. As soon as I was ready to get into characters, which are dear to me, I felt it. So I'm going back to quick sketches of buildings and environments.

It started off one way and ended another. Honestly it was awesome to be making heavy marks and scribbles, not caring what it looked like just feeding my energy onto a paper. 

This is more about working from memory rather than a picture, so you can see why people study real life before trying to imitate it. However, there is something to be said for going with the flow and expressing yourself, not matter if it's good or not.
