Well, here we are, more than two months since my last figure drawing class in January, finally uploading a few of the drawings i made then. We experimented with several different mediums, but my favorite was definitely pen, so most of my better drawings are pen rather than charcoal or graphite/pencil.

(CW: self harm/suicide)

An illustration of my favorite character from the latest novel I’ve read, Lincoln in the Bardo. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, although it does deal with death (including the death of children) in pretty graphic detail.

January Sketches

Here are a couple sketches I’ve done outside of class; I’ve been taking a month-long figure drawing course. I will definitely upload some of that work when I finish!

Two generic felid characters. I was practicing chibi-like proportions on the left and open jaws on the right.

A Grace Jones-esque model type character. I tried to draw the same character from two different angles; I think the noses are a bit off, but she mostly looks the same.

Trying out Photoshop. Still getting the hang of line work, but I doodled a good boy.

Sketch of my favorite bird.

Also @ the Gotham costume department: when will we see the return of Oswald’s glorious cross ties and those cool pseudo Lennon shades he wore in the pilot?

Quick sketch of my fursona. Just an iPhone picture because I’m in Florida for USTA trampoline nationals! I’ll be uploading a video about how it went next week.
