I've been dithering over whether to post in "welcome" board or this one. I swear there used to be a big ol' "what have you been doing lately" thread which would surely be the best place rather than making an entirely new thread, but I can't find it. I don't recall why I initially stopped...

Really liking that aerial thing Artyczar even if you're not so keen on how it's going. I think it's very attractive - I like the pale roads a lot! Something about the stronger division splitting it up into all patterned fragments like a quilt... I don't have any idea how to talk about this...

Oh I love that style of work. I'll be watching for the finished version :)

OK lemme just lower the cultural tone in here a few dozen levels I look to comics as my strongest influence but the comics I have most adored do not have the visual style I want to draw. My top two Joe Sacco's Palestine/Footnotes in Gaza and Derf Backderf's My Friend Dahmer, very much an indie...

Hit the halfway point on 100 Heads. Yep head study no.50 today. I am being a little braver... rather than doing random DeviantART stock models I looked up some actors for the most recent three. It's one thing to be able to construct a convincing head, it's another to do a convincing expression...

oh man that is some nice texture work. So clean and strong - and consistent! Must have taken a while. Drop shadow is a sneaky clever touch too. I was legit confused for an instant "is this a photo of, wait no it can't be... what?"

Copics! Hey cool! I use markers too sometimes. What paper is this on? Nice clean work, clean lines, the addition of values make him come to life :)

Getting itchy about sequential art right now. I used to do fan-comics for videogames (Sonic the Hedgehog!!!), this is going back a long way, kid stuff. Drawn digitally or inked with pen (poorly) and scanned in to color with definitely-not-stolen Photoshop. Suddenly I miss it. The fun of laying...

Oh gawrsh you guys I'm gonna get a big head hahahaa Well I liked doing it and am grateful to my requester for giving me the opportunity to have a go - though it was a surprisingly hefty amount of work for one card, and if I paid myself minimum wage I certainly wouldn't have saved money over...

35/100. Had hoped to be further along by this point but at least one head is getting drawn each day as long as I'm at home with access to my stuff. Also doing a little bit of extracurricular figure/anatomy study every ten heads. I've got several DeviantART stock accounts bookmarked for source...

Hey Hawkmoth I stole your aesthetic :) :) :) I'd call this a "commission" except it was just a family member asked me to do it because she couldn't find one she liked and no I didn't get paid hahahaha. The intended recipient is not my aunt but she is family. Always had dogs (border collies)...

The book is a watercolor moleskine. It doesn't get used as much as it should - I've had it a couple of years now - but finally there's not many pages left and I hope to fill it soon. I draw in pen - generally sketch with a light grey or sepia then put the firm lines on with black. Color is...

Well that pic of the ship (Cutty Sark) I posted early in the "next sketch" thread was from the Holiday Book. I think you put a like on it :) I'll try to remember to scan a couple of the recent ones sometime today. I guess they'd most appropriately go in Mixed Media and/or Journaling & Sketchbooks

I've been using some pots that were in a drawer for 10 years, they are definitely somewhat past their best. I use them anyway despite gloopiness but they are going down and eventually I am going to need more. I can't get this make (Pip Seymour) anywhere locally or from the catalogue company that...

Just got back from a week long trip caring for disabled family member. Hard work and rather depressing. I couldn't keep on with my 100 Heads Challenge discipline while I was there so instead I did a drawing each day in my Holiday Book - which is so called because it only comes out during trips...
