The Sketch a Day Thread!

[EncryptedWriting]

I have officially become stuck on what to do next since I need to draw hands and legs. And a cat. Idk what to do - two of my parents kittens as reference of what I want to do.

Break it down into super simple shapes! Like, tubes and circles. You can refine from there.

My grandpa is going into surgery on Friday for a tumor they found. So I wanted to draw him something. This is from my childhood memory, still a WIP.

@rumpenstiltzkin what a great time to start with the new episodes coming out! I love it kinda the right combination of weird and exciting . Having somewhat mixed feelings about the animation changes on the latest season but at the end of the day a big Mappa fan. Hope you keep enjoying it!!

@vapidink thank you!

I´m trying to learn the Riley method.
I broke down the front view in 19 steps and
memorised them by tracing and then eyeballing them.
It took me 2 days to learn the system, this is just the theory
I hope I can use that for figure drawing.

I´m going to a life drawing session in january, 4 models
2x8 hours

And a quick fun sketch of one of my characters, I will continue
with learning the Riley side view now

That's too sweet. Good luck and good vibes are heading your family's way.

I'm very behind on the next page, it's been a busy week

Now playing a game of how much can I make this eagle do with Jed's hair before he throws it off.

Latest sketch was inspired by chapter 8 of my webnovel, NULLED, it focuses on Landis and the neighbors cat, Beau getting friendly lol

Check out "Chapter 8 - Playground " from Nulled of Color and Sound on Tapas: https://tapas.io/episode/2941532

It's a mess, but it's my mess

@Lensing @DanielRKM thank you! I finished it up and sent it to him today. I don't think my family super understands my art (I think with the exception of my cousin they're pretty stuck on realistic art or textile work) but I think he appreciated the thought behind it.

Riley method side view. I will do the back view tomorrow and then I will start repeating
all 3 views. I feel like this is very helpful for figure drawing, I had a lot of "yeah that´s it"
moments while practicing the rhythm lines

• some sketches. I need one rich, old guy for a story I´m writing right now, I will probably
  use the one on the left but I´ll do some more sketches before I´ll draw the comic

Came out so pretty and warm - definitely humming with the glow of a happy memory. Wishing the best for your grandpa’s surgery today.

Another re-do of an old comic page, and all I have to say its... HOW MUCH TALK THERE WAS ON THE OLD COMICS!!!
Comics nowadays barely speak in comparison. Batman mostly grunts.
The original is from Young All-Stars v1 #5, page 4.

This gonna bring back the feels. So well done.
