Silly Aku's Daughter

Been pretty crazy about the new Samurai Jack Season 5.  So I did Aku's Daughter.
I gave her a tail.


Had an interesting time doing this one.  the white outline proved to be a bit harder to pull off than i thought it would be.  But I did it!  haha
Also. I couldnt decide on if i liked the shadow or not, so here's one without.



 And the sketch.

Buck Bumble!

I was listening to random songs and Buck Bumbles title theme came one.  
So I had to drop everything to draw buck bumble!!

Sketch.
Line Work:
Colors:

It had been bugging me that I haven't been drawing as much as I'd really wanted to.  So let's try to change that!

Piccolo Dance!

Random art trade with a friend.

He told me to draw Piccolo.  SO I DID

Ran into a few silly issues with this one haha.  I was playing with the layers and it ended up back firing on me big time.  It's hard to explain exactly what happened but this one piece ended up with far to many layers for just the line work.

Other wise i would have split it up to show off the sketch, line, then finished thing.  but meh.  mistakes happen.  ♥

Gesture Study things.


Did a few of these.  This is probably my favorite study method.  The first picture is drawn on top of the image, the 2nd picture is drawn while looking at the picture, and the 3rd is drawn from memory without the reference.

The original sketch:



First real drawing of the year.  It's so silly xD!  There's more context to this, but you'll find out soon enough.  (no it's not an animation, although now that i type this i do think that would be pretty fun xD)

Final Thoughts on 2016

I had a really interesting ending to 2016.  When 2016 happened I wanted that year to be "The Year of Focus!"  Setting everything aside to REALLY learn how to focus on my projects and and really grow into the artist and creator that I knew I could be.  But...  Something was really holding me back.  And I was really able to pinpoint exactly what it was.  That dreaded past that I had always avoided.  I finally decided to tackle that...  aaaannnd  I spent half the year working on that Draw My Life Project. haha.  Uploaded on Thanksgiving day Nov. 24, 2016


It was super scary to put all that out there.  But I knew it needed to be done.  Over my years of creating videos and managing this art blog I have somehow managed to really help people through their tough times in life and even inspire people to just create.  Be it fanart, videos, their own art, or anything.  It's just amazing to me that I was able to touch so many people in such a positive way.  And it just became more and more important to me to share my story on how the feelings are mutual.  They have all played a very important part of my life in helping me to really learn who I want to be and where I want to go as a creative person.  That video was my first BIG step in going in that direction.

After that video went live a very interesting thing happened.  The Brother and Mom saw it and were very proud of me for finally being able to talk about everything, and share it with my audience.  Then things just took a very interesting turn for the better.  Things have been really nice around here since that video was uploaded.  I honestly cant even recall the last time things have been this quiet around here.  I was really taken aback by their reactions and was not expecting things to suddenly calm down they way it had.  I was actually anticipating the exact opposite!

And that's where the year ended up coming to a close.  I was able to take some time to really look inside in a way that I'd never been able to before.  I've really set a good foundation for moving forward to 2017.

I've had my plans fail dozens, if not hundreds of times in the past, which makes moving forward all the more terrifying.  But it needs to be done.  I'm ready for success, and I know I'll never get there if I sit around doing nothing.

2016 Year of Focus ended up being the Year of Reflection.  So what does that hold for 2017?  Let's try the whole Focus thing again.  2017 is the Year of Doog!!!  ITS MY YEAR!

STAY TUNED!
