Day 174: Hairflip

I'm feeling a bit better about my trip this weekend. I still have so much to do! I gotta print up Sometimes Foodie business cards for the event, and pick out my outfits, a pack in general, and blarrrrg. Okay, time to calm down and make to-do lists. I'm a list maker, making lists and crossing things off them makes me feel so much better. Is that normal? Or do I have like some kind of list-related anxiety?

Day 173: Not a Clue

Oh my god. I'm freaking out so badly.

So I've been running my food blog, Sometimes Foodie, for almost 4 years now, and this past year it has gotten a lot more attention. I'm collaborating with other food bloggers, I'm doing a food related podcast, and Youtube videos, and now I'm going to a food industry event in New York!

This has kind of been in the works for a while, and I've been stalking the event website for months. I applied for a press pass, and I got in! Look at me being a member of the press.

The only downside is that when I had this whole idea, I was with someone, and I figured they'd be going with me and traveling to New York, and staying with me at the hotel. But now, things are different, and it'll just be me all alone going to NY with public transportation and staying in the room and eating all the food. It feels a bit lonely to do all that, and a bit scary to be honest, but I can do it. Due to my awful sense of direction I'll get lost a bit, but I'll eventually get there.

URGGGG I'm still freaking out. I'll feel better when I'm in the hotel this weekend. It's the journey that's freaking me out, not the event itself. I just gotta figure out how to get to the hotel from here. That's all. It's not that hard, right?

Day 163: Nickles

Not even 24 hours later, and I am 5 episodes deep into the new season of Orange is the New Black. I gotta stop and pace myself!

Day 159: *Internal Screaming*

I call this one, I'm still not over last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones. Also I wanted to practice more extreme expressions. I tend to draw a lot of blank staring faces, I want to practice more expressions.

Day 156: Who's That YouTuber?

It's xsparkage! (I doubt she'll ever see this, but I'm so sorry if doodling you is creepy.) I've been following Leesha for years. Now that she's got her own little family, it's been a lot of fun watching her shift from being a make-up guru to a mom. My favorite moment from any of her videos is actually the day her daughter was born. The way she and her sister reacted was really similar to how I think my own sister and I would react in that situation, and it was just a really awesome moment of freaking out and being like, "...you had a baby."

Anyway, it's 4AM, I better get my butt to bed. I have another Candyology101 podcast tomorrow.

Day 135: Skully-Skulls

Doodled a few skulls with my Sharpie pen. It's been my go-to drawing tool for a while. I love it so much! One of these skulls may or may not be One-eye'd Willy.

Day 134: I'm not obsessed with Hell Girl, you're obsessed with Hell Girl

I may be a little obsessed...I felt like my half-assed doodle yesterday wasn't good enough, so I tried to make up for it tonight.

Day 107: I like the eyes...everything else? Needs practice.

Know what I'm not good at? Rendering, and not using outlines. Tried to attempt both tonight, but I don't think it worked out all that well. Actually, the more I look at it, I think it's the mouth I don't like. I should try drawing a semi-realistic mouth next.

Day 100: WIP

This feels like such a cop-out on my part. I wanted my day 100 to be crazy awesome, but it's only this WIP for now. I want to make some more prints for Otakon, and on day 1 I drew a black lady, so for day 100 I wanted to do it again, but it's 6AM. How did that happen? I'm looking forward to working on this tomorrow. In the meantime I am getting used to my new tablet and I LOOOOOVE it. Oh man, so much fancier and better than my super old one from 2005. This one can zoom and change brush sizes and do all kinds of short cuts. It's so much better.

Okay, I hear birds chirping, and I have another Candyology101 podcast to record tomorrow, so I better get some sleep. Good morning/night internet!

Day 64: Faux Fur & Awkwardness

What's happening here? I'm not entirely sure myself. I wanted it to look like the lady with a bob was covering the other figure's mouth, but the hand is way too awkward. I need to work on gestures and poses. The figure/character with the bob haircut is inspired by Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors, the one on the left? I honestly have no idea.

Day 63: Headache

I'm having another really bad headache today, which is rare, but when I get them they're really intense. I decided to try and make a little comic about it, since comics are something I'm not used to doing, and I'm happy with how it turned out visually, but honestly, this is something I worry about all the time.

Day 60: Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die

I keep thinking I should get bangs, and then I look at all my childhood photos, and I realize I rather set myself on fire. I have no idea how all of you out there with bangs do it. I guess you style them? If left to it's own devices, my hair goes into sad droopy ringlet mode, can you imagine sad droopy ringlet bangs? Then take those, brush them, and you have frizzy nightmare mode bangs. As a kid you can work with that, as an adult, I'll look insane. Still, I can look at all you stylish bang-wearers and dream.

Day 53: I'm really Hungry

I tried to make this look more like Americanized cartoons, but I don't know how successful that was. Either way, I'm super hungry, but it's late, and I know I shouldn't eat anything super bad for me this late at night, but I really really want a cheeseburger and fries. Maybe I'll go to PYT next Sunday and get one.

Day 52: Still Gotta Practice Hands

Her hand seems way too big, right? This pose was based off this stock photo, but I kinda rushed it. But it's nearly 6AM again, I better get my butt to bed.

Day 26: Talk to the HAND. (I already know I am going to run out of stupid hand titles.)

More hands! I really like the disembodied one in the center. Gotta keep practicing! After hands I want to try and do a few more figures and sketches of women. After a while I might challenge myself with drawing men. I have never gotten used to drawing men, I always make them look like women.

Day 24: I need to practice hands...

My anatomy and hands are so bad. I should practice hands all this week. I haven't drawn figures in ages, I've been cheating and doing busts, but I gotta get back in shape!

Day 23: Cat Doodle Dump

Had a bit of doodlers block, so I just drew whatever I felt like. Turned out to be a girl with glasses and some cats. I never tried to draw Grumpy Cat before, but it was fun to try.

Day 14: Namesake & New Sticker Designs

So I watched the first episode of that magical boy anime that came out, to be honest I can't even remember the name of the show...(I'll look it up later ) It's Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love!, but it was awful and terrible and I loved it. The reluctant magical girl aspect to it reminded me of the nurse-themed RPG Maker game my sister's been working on.

Other than my daily doodles I've been quite busy doing a LOT of stuff. I figure I'll put that under the CUT, it's a lot of digital art.

Uhhhhhggg Inktober 2 & 3

My next two doodles for inktober. Tina Belcher from Bob's Burgers in my style and my attempt at the show's style.

The art for this show really bothered me when it first aired and I avoided it because their chins (or lack there of) drove me nuts! Nowm I absolutely love it! Although last night's premiere was a bit on the meh-side, I absolutely love this show. (Then again I tend to dislike Gene-heavy episodes.) Next time, LOUISE!
