New Books (Warm Ups Vol. 1.32)

I recently purchased a new sketchbook. I filled up my other one. I decided to stick with the cheap stuff (same paper weight and page count) but it's a different brand this go around. Speaking of purchasing books, I am feeling the need to expand my drawing book library. I'm kind of tired of my current collection. I want some new fresh material. Time to visit the amazon.

Draw like you mean it!

Insufficient Postage (Warm Ups Vol. 1.31)

I did some traveling a week ago. It was lots of good times. Time to own up though. I took my sketchpad and pencil with me but a few days it just didn't happen. I knew it was going to be difficult to hit my daily goal while on the road- and it was. In the words of the great philosopher Some-philosophy-guy, "Oh well."

This feels like a good checkpoint since I finally suffered my first lapse of drawing after close to 5 months. In general I feel like my skill has been improving. It also feels like I am improving at the speed of a glacier.. but that's still improvement! So that's good. Checkpoint complete!

Keep the pencil on the paper!

Back to Back (Warm Ups Vol. 1.30)

I stumbled across accursed dragon the other day. I like it. It's hard to put my finger on it, but I think it has a nice blend of humor and story. Check it out.

Plunge (Warm Ups Vol. 1.29)

Just caught up with a mate that I haven't spoken too for several months. He quit his day job to do his own thing. He's a brave soul. Someday I'll quit my day job. Even if it's just to retire.

Keep the pencil on the paper!

Tax Day (Warm Ups Vol. 1.27)

I want to wish everyone (at least every law abiding U.S. Citizen) a happy tax day... but, it's tax day. There's no happy in Tax. I probably wouldn't feel so bad about paying taxes if there wasn't so much waste involved with our so called government. See! See what tax day has done to me? Now I'm waxing political! And Chipotle doesn't even give out free burritos on tax day anymore! Here... I'll defer ranting with some arts.

Keep the pencil on the paper!

BlendTuts! (Warm Ups Vol. 1.26)

I've been addicted to Blendtuts as of late. Between that, the MakingComics MOOC, taxes, sketching, assisting with a web site, and the typical family stuff.... the blog posting has been suffering. Bad blogger, bad! But on the bright side, I haven't skipped a day of drawing yet. Although I do admit to cutting my sketching time shorter on a couple occasions. Well something has to give! Anyway, I'll try to get caught up to posting in short order (no promises though).

Draw like you mean it!
