YAY! I recently finished my 1st sketchbook.

- from my 2nd sketchbook

practice... and more practice...

"I sure got lots to practice today" -randomWannabeArtist2015 aka ME

*****draws catgirl****  -__________-

more stuff with ears :3

messing around with poses,

I can spot so many mistakes by now :/

but IF YOU ARE NOT AT LEAST A BIT FRUSTRATED you are not doing it right

quick sketch on the 7 1/2 head-proportions 

I´m back with some sketches on photoshop :P

frankly speaking I am not a fan of anatomy and stuff, but since you get better at what youre doing no matter what ( so this time it´s me facing my lazyness) I hope to get better at NOT beeing so lazy :D

Another quick observation.

A quick observation, it`s not ment to be accurate, since I this is like the first human skull I´ve ever drawn :D

this page still looks empty :P

I think i´ve found an artstyle that I really do like.

-rough sketches just for practicing

I really rushed this one, precision is one thing but Its good if you are quick too, I used to be really ( REALLY) slow when sketching stuff cause I´d never let myself doing any mistakes, BUT thats so WRONG it is the MISTAKES that actually makes you better.

A time ago I thought copying other people´s artwork is a terrible idea, but I really like the artstyle of this, I heard really good artist copied a ton of stuff that they liked at a young age. It´s  nice to have people to look up to.

I tried some foreshortening, really really rough sketches to introduce myself to it

really  rough sketches, i was just trying to get some poses right :P 

besides sketching figures în weird manga style, I never really took the  time to do realism, well If i were only to draw a nose I´d get it somehow right but not in a portrait :X

I know it´s important to be able to do some realism becaus like everything stylelized is based  (at least the good ones) of reality

a contrast between artstyles 

I actually draw like the right one most of the time :D

from my sketchbook

A rough character idea ( its not final)

(r.i.p in peace English language and common grammar rules)

I tried the " frogs view" this time ( up view ) that means everything towards the bottom should get wider. ( well the effect istnt that noticeable) 

- this could also become a frame

I´m working on facial expressions and how to get them right apart from proportions which is, frankly speaking way harder :D

This could also become a scene :D

I am no good with backgrounds...

but I kinda got the basic story in my head, and frankly speaking I do like it :P

that might become a scene for my comic (manga).

As you can see I have a lot to improve :D ( but hey, I´m working hard at it, or at least I think so )..

-If I get good enough with story telling and my own artstyle (maybe in half a year :D), I´ll start my own manga. 

- this is the biggest challenge i have to face right nowin terms of my drawing skills :P 

feel free to share your thoughts with me.

here goes sketch #2

What do you think ?

I hope, that I´ve improved a bit since I´ve picked up some manga tutorials :D 

so.. now it has color :D

my fictional characters

more sketches..

Don´t mind the awkward comments, that I favor to do on my sketches...

 It´s supposed to remind me..

I still dont know why I cant draw Tibbers as a big and dangerous bear. 

Backgrounds are important elements in drawings and stuff and I´ll keep improving them for sure.
