Rumba Rumba Rumba Rumba Rumba

I had a busy, delightful, and all-around interesting weekend, but now I'm back with pencil and pen in hand, screwing eeeeeverything up in a new sketchbook!

So, down to business. Four drawings in this update -

I opened up flickr and began searching photos to draw from, with the intent of coming up with studies of people in street clothes. Obviously, I got distracted, and eventually drew a horribly-disproportionate police officer (?) in the center of the page.

But I like the man in the bottom-left. He turned out well.

So last night, I had this dream about an anthromorphic black cat killing a fat, anthromorphic cat king out of revenge, and learning strange things about his mother. After 10 minutes in the shower, I began producing ideas for a comic I could try drawing.

I'm no furry artist, and my knowledge of feline anatomy is poor, so I drew up this boy, tenatively named Belt, with a long belt hanging off the back of his pants in mimicry of a tail. I quite like him.

And then I drew...well, I guess...this guy is something of a prince? "Scarf," "Scarves," "Klaus"...I couldn't think of a good name for him. No idea what to make of this design so far.

And then, I wanted to draw this anthromorphic cat king. Not very much like the fat cat man I'd witnessed in last night's dream. I had this idea for a dramatic shot that I wanted to draw, so I rushed with practicing a mock-up of the king's design while doing some lazy doodles of cats using photos from the web...and then drew the red image at the top of the page.

Well, that about wraps up this update.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLLLLLDDDDD

It's been a long time since I last updated. Over the past few weeks, (or is it, "past month?") I'd been hit with this draining, stressful sensation...a depression, I guess. During that time, I couldn't really bring myself to draw.

As a result, I didn't update. Obviously.

But as the weather's become clearer, so has my mood and mind. That's why I've got an update for you today.

This drawing of Rose Hero's cast was produced back before Spring Break hit...I drew it with the intention of practicing using different tones on each character's outfit, to see what worked best. That just didn't happen. Especially with how monstrously-disproportionate Rosa's body is.


This was drawn up...sometime last week, I think. Mostly just to show off Black Iris. I try to ignore Richard down in the bottom right.

But then each time I tried to draw, nothing but garbage came out. This is that garbage. Nothing too great here... Or at least, nothing like I wanted, anyway.

So, I figured I'd just do life drawings. As per the usual, I drew my left hand. These didn't turn out so badly, I think. Especially since I didn't let myself eat lunch that day until I'd filled the page with hands.

No lunch-deprivation technique in use here. Just drawings of my hand, plus some stuff out of the Nordstroms catalogue in my bookbag.

And just today I drew up, inked, scanned, and (sort of) touched-up this page. This page is proof of my good mood returning. The fact that I drew it, I mean.

...I can't render water at all. I need to overcome this.
