Darn summer is now over but school is here!!! Yeah I know I haven't been posting things up lately. But it was due to the fact that I was working on a summer sketchbook that I needed to have completed before the semester started. Now the semester has started, I am officially in the program now (wooo!!!), summer has come and gone;  now it is back to the old grind of school. This semester I am taking two animation classes so what I have decided to do now (hopefully with a little luck and hard work I shall continue with it) is that I am going to try to complete a sketchbook every month. Now it does seem ambitious but I know it is possible if I can really commit myself! The reason why I want to do this is not only because I like to draw but I feel like my drawings need to reach that next level. As of lately I feel like my peers drawing abilities have really improved so it gets me even more motivated to get better. Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition lol Also, I am going to try to continue with my daily paintings. The situation now with school starting, I might need to improve on trying to paint faster because I wont have the luxury of time as much as the summer but I hope to keep my hands fresh until I take a digital painting class next semester. Lets have a good semester!!!

So here a quick Edgar Payne study:

And a page of my new monthly sketch book project:

Yeah got a little behind due the fact that I just needed a break from stuff. Been trying to concentrate more on my summer sketchbook. So today I decided to paint boxing gloves because this summer I have been inspired to get back into shape after watching shows like the Ultimate Fighter and other fighting shows. Watching these fighters train just makes me wanna go workout and fight!!! lol jk

Time: 1.25 hrs

So tomorrow is my sister Karina's birthday party and she is 11 now. So I decided to make her a small gift, a birthday card to say the least. My sister Karina is one smart and strong little girl that doesn't let anything get in her way. She is very determined and goal oriented. Which makes her an awesome sister. She also like drawing and painting like me, so I thought it would be a cool gift to draw her as an animated character more or less. It is the first time I have done such a thing as drawing someone I know as a character. It was fun and challenging. *Crosses finger I hope she likes it!!!

Today I was inspired by the video game "Journey." It is such a beautiful game, although I have never played the game, the visuals are amazing. I just love the colors they used. So today my daily was inspired more or less by the color choices from the game.
