Everybody Cancan

Went to the art club drawing session. The theme was french can can dancer like from Toulouse Lautrec posters. Very much fun. Had a little much to drink though. Will only drink half a beer and eat some more next time. Weeee.

Are you feelin ok?

I'm not sure if I'm sick yet. There are some mildly serious indications that I maybe. I've been doing some good doodles. I'm proud that I've been practicing over the winter break and not being totally lazy. Poor Chris has been sick. He was really bad today. I brought him a sandwich and some hummus. Just wanted to post I didn't create this but I've saved this pic from postsecret. I've got to start back to school and when I'm feeling stressed with no free time I've got to remember this.

New Sketches

Thanks to Chris who gave me some great suggestions for cafe sketching I have greatly improved on drawing people quickly. Also I've been loving my Faber Castell brush pens. Sketches of my cat turn out great with these pens too.

Why I love Goodwill

So I went to Goodwill today. I got 2 mens tshirts. One fit me and says Yellowstone park. The other is a large and I was able to cut it up and sew it together by hand to fit me. It's an old 80s t that says trans am and has the pheonix on it. Or firey chicken whatever it is. I got a pair of grey jeans which I've been wanting. I also got a white studded belt, has no studs missing and works totally fine (the cool belts are usually messed up). Ok now it's price is right people how much did I have to pay to leave the store with that stuff. Dun dun dun! $11. Hell yeah, kick ass christmas present for myself. I told my mom it was Christmas present so she's gonna pay me back yay.

Gagararara

I was sketching from Lady Gaga music videos yesterday. There's Love Game, Poker face, and Alejandro. Alejandro was the best so little clothing and so much movement. Lady Gaga is my new life drawing model. I don't care if people say she can't sing her crazy costume changes and kickass videos are enough to make up for it. So I'm hoping I'll keep updating this blog like a journal instead of leaving it alone for another year. I'm afraid it could be like my livejournal account though. Every year around November I make a post on that thing. Really weird that I'm always active on my blogs around this time of year.

Wowey

Well a lot of things have changed. Probably not anyone reading this still because I don't really update for years at a time appearently. I actually forgot I had a blog until I was recently reminded that I need to get a serious online portfolio instead of using deviantart as usual. Big changes since last year. Well looking at my old blog posts I am reminded that I have made the changes I always wanted. I have short head hugging pixie hair and I do wear a faux leather jacket because I am now vegan. I'm more and more becoming the person I've always wanted to be. I'll have to get back to this more and make some more posts. In the mean time I'll leave ya with a little doodle.

White silver bells

Merry Christmas! Well technically it's over by now. I sketched this up real quick with my new intuos3 tablet. My original tablet is hideous and I took really bad care of it. Also I'd had it for probably 6 or 7 years so I can't feel too guilty about moving up one step. I'm sure they have the 4 out by now. I've got to learn all the keys to program and everything. The program I'm going to be forcing myself to work with is illustrator. Not only that but I'm going to be practicing key strokes and all the short cuts I can to save time because that's what you've got to do if you're a graphic designer. I should eventually learn how to use color too. Better keep it short because I'm very tired. Happy new year if I don't update.
