your line-less studies are cool.

They are helping SO much

Now with more mousey reaction and sense of scale. Also, what the heck was the mouse hiding behind before? Now a flaring table foot.

@StudioLooong don’t get discouraged. Back in October for the Penny challenge I didn’t make the top 16 and I was really really REALLY bummed because I thought I did a good job, so I took two months off, and then I came back and did the January prompt and I am a winner!
Use the emotion your feeling to come back harder!

hoping to finish these turn arounds and expression sheets by monday

@StudioLooong @burvantill I felt similar for January's prompt. I spent soooooooo much time on December's prompt but didn't make it in, either. Sometimes your concept lands, and sometimes it doesn't

Workin' on a book dummy is also a good thing to do. Whatever keeps you making more content, right?

I’m going with this thumbnail. Nightfall & Secret Admirer.
BTW, it’s still called procrastination when you work on something, and you SHOULD BE working on something else. I’m trying to trick myself, but I’m not stupid, I know what I’m doing. I’m avoiding, that’s what. I’m still doing it! BAH!

Got to do a superhero doodle of a coworker who retired this week. She loves cooking and is famous around here for her albondigas soup. This was printed at 4’X3’ on foam core, then cut with a jig saw. Then, at the event I was asked to do a caricature of someone else I don’t even know who is retiring next week. It’s funny because I’ve never felt like I could do caricatures, and know some really talented artists who do it for a living. I think people just like to see themselves as cartoons

Whoof.

@StudioLooong your piece for the January contest was really strong. I totally remember it and I have forgotten a lot of them or who did them. I thought it was awesome. This was the first time I ever made the cut and I do remember feeling disappointed on the other occasions I didn't make the cut. Especially one time. Then I just figured best to keep on keeping on and not feel bad. It will happen in time! Just like @burvantill said!
That being said I think it's totally normal to feel frustrated and disappointed. It's the ones who keep coming back who rock it in the end.

Working on two wizard lamps for props course. Hey, also my first project on procreate .
Today I ordered my new iPad case and some of those paper like screen protectors. Super excited. Oh the nerdiness!

[carlianne]

Can't share anything I'm working on, but I took a short break and made some VDay cards for our work exchange.

[burvantill]

@carlianne these are cute.

[burvantill]

Rough sketch

Value study.

Yep, still procrastinating.

[carlianne]

@carlianne lololol thanks! I did like 10 of them and then thought it was funny I took a break from drawing to draw :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[Coley]

@burvantill nice comp! You’re going to be the master of circular comps!

[Coley]

More work on a lamp for props course. Trying to work out the structure in perspective from 3/4 and above on the one on the left. The one on the right is my earlier version.

[burvantill]

@Coley Lol. Thanx!

@demotlj I love the 2nd one better : it gives a softness that the ink work does not have. The pencil you used seems just fine! But I let the pros to assess it. Have you tried doing the lines in watercolour pencils? It could be nice as well.
