Some Prints for Otakon

I took a few of my 365 drawings and put them together to make a print for Otakon. At first I was going to cut them out and make them individual prints, but I really really like them together. Maybe I’ll just leave them as-is.

Also, I really seem to like bare shoulders.

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 102: Messing Around with random Colors

I just started playing around with this idea of Daft Punk-esque colors, like from Interstella 5555, and this is what become of it. I should play with some crazy colors again tomorrow and create a more finished piece. For now, it's 2AM and I'm going to try going to bed early for once.

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 93: Ehhh I tried

I was going to try and do another full body drawing, but...I got lazy. Sorry lovely lolita-esque girl, no legs for you. Maybe another night. I like the direction I'm going in with these detailed drawings, but I should try and do some more kind of finished pieces since Otakon is coming up quick. Gotta make some new prints! Maybe I'll do a 365 sketchbook-zine?

Day 7: Lis

Pencil and Micron Markers and THIS reference photo

I'm not too happy with this one, but I had to draw something for today. She's my attempt at Lis from Seconds. A friend bought it for my birthday and I finally got around to reading it. I feel like I didn't make her look wild enough.

I like that pose, I might try working with it tomorrow when I have a bit more time and energy.

Day 2: Art 365 Sweet Lolita

Mechanical Pencil & XS Faber-Castell

Day 2! I doodled a bit of pizza at first, but I thought I should try and so something a little more complex, so I decided to make a teeny tiny lolita. That's my thumb at the bottom for scale.

I like doodling small, which is fun, but it stinks for making prints. Maybe I'll take this into Adobe Illustrator and make a vector of it so I can do something with it. I'd like to make some Cameo-style lolitas and add them to my cupcake and food themed pouches.

Day 1: Art 365 Black Lady

Pencil & Faber-Castells. Color added in photoshop.

So I have been playing around with this idea in my head to do a 365 art challenge. I don't know if I'll keep up with it, we all know how Inctober went, but I'd like to try. It might vary from a doodle to a finished piece to a WIP, but I'd like to try and make something every single day this year and post about it. Today I have a drawing of Black Lady.

I am SOOOO rusty at inking, and I haven't done traditional art in forever. Let's hope this will help me out. I gotta get better and I need to start producing things quicker.
