Saturday Sketches

Hello again!

Well, so far I'm not doing so well with my new year's resolutions (like posting twice a week...). Hey, more room for improvement. For some reason I actually thought I would get tons of sewing done this Christmas break. Turns out that barely sewed at all. I think I was feeling a lack of inspiration and a fear of failure.But now I'm finally getting back into my sewing mode so all is well.

In the midst of Christmas rush, I did manage to get a little drawing done. Overall, I must say I'm quite happy with this batch of drawings.

First up is this cool lady holding some sort of orb-y sun of power. The hand actually turned out with this drawing and looks semi realistic. I had no idea the boots were so uneven. Whooopsss.... I do like the nice shiny hair... maybe she should be a hair model?  Oh yeah... I'm supposed to be evaluating the outfit designs and not necessary my drawings. The outfit here is actually quite boring (I just like the boots, hair and randomness) so let's move on.

 

Okay, this is epic. The designs, details, double swords, and boots. I really put plenty of time working in the details here and trying to have some proper shading. Drawings like this make me wish I could transfer it to a computer and digitally color it since I'm too afraid to color pencil it in fear of ruining it. But in the meantime I should work on getting the back leg's perspective right. 

Next we have the librarian with a dagger (better return your books on time...).  Just joking. I really don't know who she suppose to be, I just sort of draw until I think it looks good together. The side angle helps make the picture more interesting however makes it a challenge to match the outfit on both sides. And again I love the boots... why don't stores expend their selections? Maybe I'm just bias. 

And to finish it up, we have the hooded girl with the goblet. I could have done with a bit more shading on this one. Those sleeves really should flow a bit more, don't you think? And I should have chopped of that strange collar/neckline spikes since isn't helping the drawing.  My brother asked what was in the cup. Maybe poison. To poison someone else? Or maybe herself? There defiantly is a story to tell. 

So those are my strange drawings of the past week/month. If the stars align I'll have a post about clothing I would like to sew or maybe the project I'm currently working on. We will see. So, I hope your weekend is going nicely and you are staying warm. Till next time.
