Tristan's sketchbook

Yeah that's really true. Doing the same thing over and over can lead to you just going on autopilot and not learn as much.
I'm trying to construct my own little course in figure drawing using the Michale Hampon course, the videos Glen Vilppu has and from my big Bridgman book. Should try and pace myself between gestures, construction and full color/value studies. Thanks for the reminder.

So in other news I've found an anime that I've been looking for ever since I was 6 or 7. Back in the day I had a Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters VHS and I watched it all the time. There was a trailer in it before the movie started that was an anime series and one of the most epic things I've seen. Now I never looked up what it was and not being a big anime guy, that stuff just passed me by. Moving on a few years I don't have a VHS player so I can't watch that copy of the movie but I remembered that trailer and I could remember how epic it felt to watch. So just now I tried looking for it (again) and I also checked with a buddy and he knew what it was.... Sooo a few minutes later, I'm watching Neon Genesis Evangelion...

The things I missed what I was younger... (still young so I guess it wasn't a big loss?) So I'll probably get over influenced by it, like what happened with me and Dark Souls. So sorry for the 90's asian-influenced sci-fi stuff that probably will show up in the future.

Anyway, here's a sketch on a square canvas... I hate squares....
