Exon-Ion: Yep, that's the hardest part . The results are worth it though, so that helps a little.
Myllys: Hehe, thanks. You'll just have to catch yourself by the neck and bitchslap yourself out of laziness .
ModestMouse: Thanks =)
Elz: Well, that's true. The problem is though that knowing me I'll stay lazy if I let myself relax at all so that's pretty much out of question for me. But hey, thanks.
Just some doodles... Didn't manage to do anything intelligent today. The 2nd pic is from a photo base (I'll add it to the attachments) that I destroyed and turned into porridge (lol). I think I kinda overdid it with the layers and brushes, haha.

dont tell me you drew the third pic, i will eat my hands if you did
May 25th, 2010, 10:21 AM
ModestMouse: I didn't, so spare your hands. I said somewhere between that wall of text that it's the photo from which I got the 2nd drawing by making it a mess. I probably I should've put it to photobucket and link from there to make it more clear that I didn't do it instead of getting it straight from my computer with the attachments. I guess I wrote a bit too much so that no one could be assed to read through all that (it's in some sentence between all that crap). Ah well.
I'd like to lie that I haven't done anything today so I wouldn't need to show this ;_;
EDIT: SB vacation. I'll keep drawing but not posting, will come back in a week or two. Hopefully with improvement, although I doubt I'll wake up one morning and paint like Picasso. Doesn't hurt to hope for it, though. Attached Images

I'm back from my, er, slightly extended SB break *cough*. I haven't really been drawing much other than the odd art assignments, although I must say that I had 3 different ones running during the same semester [EDIT: the word's not semester, lol. I mean the things that a semester is divided into, whatever they're called]... So let's just say that it took me 5 months to fill up my 80-page sketchbook I bought near the time I stopped posting which might tell something... I was aiming for two months. Aahh fail, haha. Anyways, I decided yesterday (actually, remembered that it actually exists. Oopsie) that I'm gonna restart my SB, which you can blame on my premature middle age crisis. I'm getting old and wrinkly but I'm still bad!! I'm not gonna have that. So, here I am.
And, one thing I'm pretty excited about so I just have to share this, lol. I got into the art high school I was aiming for and I'm loving it. The commute is long but it's definitely worth it - the atmosphere is great! All other schools I've been to have had their own cliques - jocks, nerds, whatever. But in this one, you can just talk to anyone and no one will look at it twice. And it's full of hippies . There was a hippie van parked outside the gate and in the halls you can see many people with dreads or bags with prints about being green. There are separate foods for vegans and vegetarians... not such a big deal for many Finnish schools, but the thing is that many people actually eat it. And I am surprised for ever saying this, but I love love love the teachers. My painting teacher for example. She has the weirdest sense of humor and she actually crits! Even the really good ones! Aaand the best thing is that she lets me sneak into the classroom after school or during breaks to play with all the materials in there, hehe. Aaahh, she's great .
Anyhow, my scanner is still crap so the pics might look weird because I had to edit them for anything to show. They might be too dark because my screen is super bright... The pics are in order of time.
I woke up at 6 to draw, that's why the emoing. ;P
Er, there was a really stupid pic in the corner so I censored it. The girl is from reference on the right page, obviously (OTL). Bus/break pics.
Naked guy from head, lol. Got inspired by all the greatness during art history class, hehe. This is where I noticed that I really should start practising anatomy again (the legs wtflol). Uuuhh...
Croquis during ethics (they were watching a movie I'd already seen, I wasn't slacking ;P). There were 2-3 more pages than the ones I posted but they weren't very interesting so I left them out. Actually I really like the red girl even with the anatomical fail (for once!).
The.. thing was done on the bus, didn't really have any direction, just doodling for fun. The 2nd one is the first portrait I've ever done that actually looks like the model! HA
Leg fail, again . The self-portrait doesn't look anything like me, as always. Just look at all the ones I've posted! They all look different, hahaha. Won't say anything about the anatomy *cough*.
Playing with my new bamboo pen... I was also gonna start by practising hands but I figured I should start from the big things... So, posemaniacs for warmup:
There was one more page but I forgot to scan, I think. Well, by then it was already 8PM so I had to study for test week. No time for anatomy studies .

No scanner available for the weekend, so gonna post some digis only.
A streaker... lol. I don't know what I was thinking ;P.
Reffed stuff:
No time to write or paint anything pretty, so here's just a junky unfinished still life. Gotta run!

Test week, no time to draw . Just some procrastinating to recharge my batteries.... G�r gick gjorde gjort GAAAH!
