AfricanVoodoo's Sketchbook

[AfricanVoodoo]

*winks with both eyes* Hello beautiful.

Monday

I'm back on my productiveness! Let's see how long this will last.


Ooo my boxes are extra shit today ( probs cause i didn't draw in 2 days)


(Art): I'm back to figures from the interwebz. Honestly, the biggest problem I have right now is how big my heads should be. I would sketch the head and then plan out how big the head would be, but then when I want refine my heads and add features to them, I end up making them smaller on accident. 

I think I lean in too close to the paper when I do the faces, I get tunnel vision when I do that... yeesh. I really need to watch out for that bullshit

I was doing my virtual school and other chores around the house after this so... 

Goals for Tuesday:
-Practice measuring on the figure and not leaning in too close
-Writer friend has a new character for me to do concept sketches of tomorrow

Tuesday

Well damn... fuck those goals i guess...

(Art): This was from Friday but apparently I didn't post it so I'll post it now.

I really need to stop thinking I can produce a whole lot of things when I am currently a high school senior who has homework and projects and SATs and virtual school and sleep and projects and homework to do all the time. Just... getting my daily mileage should be my goal.

Oh and my ceramic teacher was giving a demonstration on what our sketches should look like and she used me as an example. She was like "see he can do human figures very well and that is his strong suit" and I was like



Wednesday

I always draw the most on Wednesdays for some reason...



(Art): Uhh.... birdie. (I really got to figure out how birds move...)



(Art): Random sketch of a football player. I MIGHT (not) refine it. I like it but those straps on his left shoulder is giving me trouble because I am trying to emulate the right shoulder's straps. I might have to do a tiny diagram to help me...



(Art): Uh... colorful birdie. And if I can, I might do a full design on this thing. Not what I wanted to draw but I do like this birdie. It's like a chocobo but green and not a chocobo. (oh my god i googled chocobo and i never want to see a realistic chocobo ever again)

Thursday

... sigh. 



(Art): I actually drew that monster lizard thing on Wednesday but it was underdeveloped and I didn't feel like posting the first version. So here it is now.

Also more Steam Soul practice on the characters, I am getting more accurate with my drawings of the characters but there are still not perfect. (Arron's forehead is too big tho and his hair doesn't have an s-curve)



(Art): I did the tree and edited it. I might re-print this version to my art teacher so he can bring it to wherever the fuck he brings it to but imma keep my version and hanging it up.

Friday

Today we have a day off because of the hurricane and I rather stay in the house with no electricity than deal with these terrible ass teachers roaming through our school. 



Admittedly, I just had to chill today. So I walked with my friend to the store and I hacked Super Smash Bros. some more. I honestly don't know why school is giving me so much fatigue but oh my goodness. It might be the cascading information that these people are giving me and it will kill me faster than Irma will.

(Art): A 1 hour study session. Even though this was one pose over and over again, I was learning how to look. I just sit there and analyze the figure to see any tiny intricacies. 

My figures are still... eh. I honestly need help with figure drawing. Like, I know form and putting shit in 3D is not my strong suit but... I dunno. I feel like there is something more specific with it and I was just fumbling in the dark trying to find it but obviously I can't. sigh... I finally reached the point where I think I didn't really improve that much. I mean, last year's figures...






Nightmares.

But right now? It's the same old same old. Like I think I still have the same level of skill as my 50 Women Challenge drawings and jesus fucking lord I hate those drawing now. All of them. But I am trying to figure out how the fuck to make my figures ultra super 3D and real but... I dunno how I can do it.

And I want to do more character designs for myself, writer friend, and even random people on the internet ?!?!!?! (pffffttt lol anyways)

Okay, imma end it here just in case the hurricane fucks me up. Byeeeeeeeeee.
