More work doodling

I was contacted by the school a couple days ago to ask if I would facilitate a portion of the school's annual Arts Festival. The last time they asked me to do this I did plushies, but those are really labour intensive. This time I'm going to do drawing. So I've been trying to figure out how to teach simple drawing techniques to 4-6 graders (9-13 year olds give or take). Unfortunately, instead of anythig helpful this is what came out instead.



*sigh*

Try harder, self.

Phaeton's redesign

Because internet wank is kinda funny.

Before she was queen

Random doodling led to this. I thought it might be an idea to draw the Red Queen in her old life, when she was simply a noble rather than the Queen.

Sketches of Phaeton

Something I sketched at work.



I drew her between assignments at work today. Oh, the life of a floating sub. I worked on it a bit after work as well waiting for my kids to finish what they were doing.
I think I need to make her back bows a bit more floaty to go with the hair (which is way too long but looked crap otherwise). Her hand is not in the pose I want for it but this was better than her arm just terminating at the wrist.
Time taken so far: approximately 1 hr 15 min

Portrait sketches

I was at work yesterday and not feeling too good. I wasn't in one place long enough to pull out my netbook and do some writing so I sketched.



So here we have Aldiara and Mienna from Children of the Tiger, Kino Makoto from Sailormoon, an as yet unnamed character, Eris and Phaeton from Shards of Phaeton, and Kinrou from Children of the Tiger.

Nalshen and Kasui

Sorry I didn't get a post up yesterday. I was busy with other things.


Instead of just using a straight mechanical pencil like I did with the last two, I actually used my art pencils since they were handy. I think it turned out better. Nalshen is from Children of the Tiger.


Just a quick drawing of Nenokuni Kasui from Shards of Phaeton.

Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to my brand new sketch blog. It's my hope that I'll be able to put up one post a day containing at least one image. Most of these will be unfinished/WIP pieces but once in a while a finished piece will pop up here.

Anyways, to celebrate the opening of this blog I have a piece of art to share with you.


This is Sailorphaeton from my comic Shards of Phaeton. This isn't a form she has in the comic. This is based on Princess Sailormoon from "Pretty Guardian Sailormoon". I thought it would be fun to design a Princess Sailorphaeton. The pose is taken from an official Princess Sailormoon image and contains some similarities in the design such as the pearl accents and the lace. The shoulder decorations and tiara are different as are her boots. This will eventualy be coloured and she will have a sword in her hand. I haven't decided yet if I'll use her original sword (which is pretty bad ass on its own) or if I'll design a special Princess weapon for this form.
