Here's the usual set of life drawings and doodles.

I just landed myself a new job too, I'm doing my best to focus on that for the time being.

I'm still busy relearning construction and drawing from life, I'll make the effort to post more of what I've been sketching lately.

Just doodling in Sketcher again. I've been playing with Gouache, Oils, Ink and Watercolours lately and failing pretty hard at it. I hope to find an approach that parallels how I do digital value sketches so I can apply that to canvas. I also ordered a book on composition called "Framed Ink" that looks pretty ace, composition is another subject I've been struggling with lately and I look forward to filling in the gaps.

My first time contributing to a Sketchoholic activity, the topic was "Flying Insect" and so I figured I would do a quick study of a butterfly. (or is that a moth?) Thanks to Jim Munnelly for the reference, I hate to say it but I totally did not enjoy doing this digitally... Either I should stick to traditional for a while, or the cramp I'm getting in my hand is a sign that the tablet I'm using may be too small.

I'm considering changing the blog format a bit and talk about some of the stuff I like instead of just dumping images all the time. This doodle is just a quicky I did at ArtGrounds Sketcher, it's amazing how having a hard edged brush made speed painting in the applet a thousand times easier.

I'm not going to attach commentary to every post but I've finally gotten a nice large desk in my room and it's one hell of a relief to have my own little space to do art again. I'm currently studying Glenn Vilppu's method in the hope that it'll help me nail the gesture more confidently, we'll see over the coming week whether I make progress in that regard.
