Week Nine (MONTH III), Day One

hi sorry to be so inconsistent but I'm going to try to be better. So tomorrow the day of marching, march will start and with that I'll have a month to get my animation portfolio together. It is going to be some CRAZY TIMES YALL. so my goal is just to have this new sketchbook filled up. Having done the math, that's an average of THREE PAGES A DAY. as evidenced by... literally every other time I've tried to pace myself on anything EVER, I will probably not succeed at doing actually three pages in my sketchbook every day, but I'm going to try. even though it's not technically march yet, I'm going to start today. so the theme for the month is just whatever it takes to get three quality sketchbook pages. wHERE DOIN THIS MAN WHERE MAKIN IT HAPEN. here's something from today:

pages per day left atm:  2.935

Week Eight, Day Three

the true carbage. My poor roommate Mariah had her back windshield bashed yesterday, so in honor of that terrible event, I drew it. As you do.

Week Eight, Day One

ok look, I am not very good at perspective and I've never really drawn cars before so this week is going to be a struggle but I seriously am goign to try so hard to post every day. Like last week I drew probably every day or so but just never got around to posting. I'm sorry. I'm busy.
Here's my terrible attempt of my favourite car on my misison, the 2014 Jeep Compass

Week Seven, Day One

uhhhh yeah I don't know what to tell you about last week. I did do some sundays sketches that I need to post but that's about it. the struggle is real don't judge. Anyway this week I am going to make my theme some wagnerian adaptations I've been thinking about doing lately. Mostly just some concept stuff obvi, but whatever. I mostly want to take The Ring Cycle and The Flying Dutchmen and make them maybe a little bit more palatable to modern/my personal feminist preferences. Anyway. Here's a Rhinemaid and below the cut even more Rhinemaids

Week Six, Day One

alright so last semester in my figure drawing class we had weekly sketchbook homework and theoretically I was going to redo all the assignments this semester but that hassss not really happened so I think for my 52366 this week I'm going to do some of  those. so I mean at least I'll have a couple more drawings for that done, right??? well here's a master's study of RT Barrett, the head of illustration here at BYU. hopefully I will do more than one drawing a day but we'll see.

Week Five, Day Seven

wooooooooo. survived another week. Since it was testimony mtg I drew the facs of a few of the ppl who bore their testimonies until I got tired of messing up everyone's faces (it is really hard to gesture draw a moving face for however long it takes them to bear their testimony) so I drew some robots for the last of this week's theme. I don't know why but this week's theme was weirdly difficult for me. Maybe I need more creativity I do not know

hm my phone camera makes a weird... what do you even call that circle of weird light in the middle

Week Five, Day Six

ok this one is a goodie today. Has anyone else played freaking Jump Start 3rd Grade because seriously THE BEST. It... just I loved it ok. SUCH A GOOD. someday I'm going to find the install disks at my parents house and bring that back. Anyway, I drew Botley for my robot of today.
