Thursday

so when I was a kid we'd climb up on the netting in the soccer net at the park. there was a guy who sometimes yelled at us to get down and not do that, but we went back up there when he left.

it was FUN. man was it fun.

thursday

I wish I had started drawing earlier in the night. this is just a memory of Amsterdam I have. I really liked the way they built their houses and rode bikes so much and had a bunch of boat houses and it was all pretty relaxing.

not pictured: all of us getting frustrated on a pedalboat.

also, I pretty much approximated everything here... so it's not very accurate. like I said, I wish I had started earlier so I could have gone by some reference photos and put in more detail! ah well. such is life.

Thursday

during weeks like these I wonder if I'm actually just going backwards. I don't know. I'm probably just frustrated because I'm not real inspired or happy with what I'm whipping off in these daily drawings, but it just seems like the more I do the less impressive they get. I might need some kind of change. maybe with the pace or the objective or something else.

hmm.

I've also had a lot less time in the last couple of weeks and a lot on my mind in the last 12 months, so maybe I'm being too hard on myself. hmmmmmm.

Thursday

... go on, git.

(just practice doodling. that foot ain't quite right.)

Thursday

I locked myself out of the apartment for a bit today. haha, silly me.

Thursday

not quite recovered yet.

urrrrgggg.

Thursday

So I drew one frame and tried to trace the other two. it's pretty crazy how hard it is to make the same drawing more than once. also I am super cold right now.

I can't remember if I mentioned on the blog yet, but I got a job. my first real shift starts on monday. pretty cool, eh? I was getting really low in funds there for a while. yikes.

There's an animation event happening this weekend. anybody round these parts (Halifax!) should check it out. :) http://films.nfb.ca/get-animated/halifax.php I am going to the one on monday! also maybe the other one.

and lastly, the H1N1 flu shots are going to be approved soon. I think most of us will have access to them in the first few days of November. I'm calling my doc tomorrow to get me a tentative appointment. please consider doing the same, you guys. I care about youuuuuu.

I think that's all for tonight. toodles!

Thursday

feelin' cranky.

here's a tree.

ugh.

Thursday

headache. uurrrggggg.

THURSDAYYY.

IDEA ROCK.

REVEAL TO ME YOUR SECRETS.

Thursday

just imagine I'm doing the Marge Simpson disaproving growl.

sorry about the lack of squid fight, my mind has been sort of all over the place whenever I try to draw this week. I'll try to get back on track next week. I'd like to do some steam-punk themed drawings also. and now that I've told you guys you should make sure I deliver on that. :P

Thursday

That squid is in for a world of pain. also some dry skin.

Thursday

I second the fish.

Thursday

that's coo'. some hot out, eh?

Thursday

my apologies for the lesser quality of this week's drawings. I'd like to have some nice quality stuff on here soon. a lot of what I've been doing hasnt been real great. I need more practice!

Thursday

my 'mouse and paint' skills are a bit rusty. this is my cousins bear, who likes to play moster truck video games with him. bear wins more than I do. <_<

Thursday

don't read too much into this one.

how does one go about getting ideas? being inspired? this is a big problem for me. I guess I need to experience more. I've felt pretty numb lately, and I havent been very sucessful in pushing myself out of it. that is probably where my problem lies.

hum.

thursday

so I was at work today thinking about how I don't do girly things very much. but I am still sorta girly. but I don't usually draw girly things.

so anyway, here's a picture of a girly type scene without using pink. RESULTS.
