Day 56: Kinda Me
Another kinda-self portrait. I wear my hair up nearly all the time now, which is odd, because before college I always wore it down. I think I got into the habit to keep it out of the way while I painted, but now I like having my hair pinned back with like 30 bobby pins all the time. I've been trying to wear it down more often, but I never really do anything with it. I suck at styling hair. Thankfully it's naturally curly, so it looks like some effort was always put into it, when really, I just rolled out of bed.

Day 51: I Like Tank Tops
I'm totally not trying to find a loophole around drawing hands. Nope. Not me. Not at all.
Bah, okay, I know I need to keep practicing hands. In the meantime, comfy clothes are the best clothes. It's super cold here, again, but it's winter, so that's going to be an issue for a while. Summer will show up soon, right?

Day 49: Doodle Dump 2.0
I have the idea of making Cameo designs but instead of making them into jewelry, turning them into iron-on patches for my pencil cases and zippered pouches. Tonight I played around with a tea party themed frame, a tea sipping lolita silhouette, and a random pink girl just for the hell of it.

Day 47: A man?
Super quick one tonight, I default draw women all the time, so I thought I'd sketch out a really really quick male before bed. He kind of reminds me of the Skeleton man from the Mystery Skulls music Video, you know, before he got all Skully. It's just a quick doodle I whipped out, not really based off anyone or anything, just fluffy hair cause it's what I like.

Day 44: It's been a loooong day
Still need to brush up on my anatomy, a LOT, but I think I'm getting a bit better day by day. It's already past 5AM, I better get to bed.

Day 40: Everything is Beautiful
In my bedroom, I have several old record album covers decorating the walls. I think it makes me seem like I'm really into music, or vintage artwork, but really, I'm not. Sure, I like music and I do like some retro imagery and aesthetics, but I'm not super keen or obsessed with one or the other. Truth is, I bought them at thrift shops back when I was in high school because I just liked the art on the covers. That's all.
Out of all my records, I have one that I am just visually obsessed with. It's this one, Andre Kostelanetz's Everything is Beautiful. It's really simple, and my copy is pretty worn, but there's something about the warm colors and the model's face that I am crazy about. I am even thinking of buying another copy online so that if anything happens to my current one, I'll still have this artwork.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I am really obsessed with it. It's my favorite record hanging in my room, so I decided to use it as inspiration for tonight's drawing.

Day 34: Revisit Lis (Seconds)
I went back and did another little doodle of Lis tonight from Seconds. I need to take a shot of the actual pages of my sketchbook to show the scale of these things. I always draw so small. This Lis could fit in the palm of my hand.

Day 33: Lil' Emmy!
It's 3AM, and I decided to doodle Emmy while I watched her latest Youtube Video. Is that creepy? I feel like that's a little creepy. Anyway, I think she turned out adorable for a quick doodle while watching a foodie video. If you ever see this Emmy, I'm sorry I'm a creeper.

Day 32: I love Hoodies
Another reference photo drawing, I was trying to find someone posing in a hoodie, I just really love hoodies. I wear one every day at work to stay warm. Sorry for the lack of content tonight. I have some non-365 posts coming up!
Day 31: ONE MONTH COMPLETE! (Idle Hands)
I started with a Black Lady this month, I thought it was only fitting to end this month with a Black Lady. I just got some really awesome news, which means I have to start making a LOT more art again, so this Draw365 project should really help me out with that. I'll let you all know more about it when we get closer to the summer.

Day 27: Let's give her a hand!
Felt like doing a person and hands, so I did a quick 20 min drawing based on this stock image. Then I slapped some colors on in photoshop, I don't know why hands boggle me so much, I draw them so HUGE! Gotta work on that. The hands and anatomy are so wrong! UGH! Gotta keep practicing.
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 25: Gettin' Handsy
I'm going to try and practice hands a bit this week to brush up my anatomy skills. Here are some really quick hand sketches from tonight, I'm going to try and do more this week, and incorporate hands into my drawings more.

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 22: Stuff I need to do more of...SLEEP
I need to sleep more. This is kind of how I sleep, with ah and under the pillow supporting my head, but I toss and turn all night long. Whatever position I'm in when I finally fall asleep is never the one I wake up in.
Day 21: Figure
It's almost 4AM...again. I really need to get my life together, but I feel so much more alive and awake late at night than during the day. Anyway, this is just a quick figure sketch tonight, I am trying to brush up on my anatomy and quick figure sketches. It's been...5 years since my last figure drawing class. Oh man, has it really been that long?
I might go back tomorrow and add in detail, but I am trying to get better at posing characters and understanding anatomy. This site is a HUGE help.

Day 20: Budding Musician (Get it?)
I know it's kind of in-style to draw big bulky DJ headphones, like Vocaloids, but I hate having things on my ears. I still use my itty bitty ear buds, so I doodled a quick girl wearing them tonight. (Although only the right one of mine works. I ought to get a new pair.)
I feel like I was more in touch with music and into music when I was younger, now? I'm lucky if I can even remember the lyrics to a song I like. Remembering lyrics used to be so important to me when I was younger, but I guess it was because I used to passively aggressively quote them for myspace statuses and stuff back then. (Ouch, my age.) Now I'm like the lame mom who just sings along with the choruses in the car because I have no idea what these artists are saying. I should try to get back into listening to music. I feel like I'm missing out on a part of the world.

Day 18: NSFW
Since I've been doing quick sketched I thought I should do something a bit more involved tonight. Sorry it's NSFW, I haven't draw anything nude since figure drawing in college. I'm trying to be a bit more serious and get out of my comfort zone.

Day 16: Madoka Doodles
More super quick doodle sketches because it's 3AM and I am insane. I need to get more sleep during the work week. I feel like death, but at least tonight was a rest night for my exercises.

Day 13: Doodle Dump
Wasn't feeling any of my starter sketched tonight, so you get a mini doodle-dump. The doofy little generic dog is kind of growing on me...
