A leap a day...

A photoshop study of an image of a frog 

(shown in an online Schoolism course)

And the traditional version made from memory

during a bus ride.

A couple kids at the bus were looking at me drawing over my shoulder :)

Little loving drawing

Rainbow barf

My take on that meme

Oh!

I've got so much to work on...

Kept it to 2 hours-ish
Gonna try to do this more often!

When we were kids

But to be honest, I don't think I'll ever grow out of them...

Foot Notes / That Book Has No Spine

This is another page from the Sketchbook Project Journal.

I drew the character at the bottom as a different interpretation of "Foot notes" because I didn't just want to make foot notes on the page. The drawing at the back is for the phrase "That book has no spine". The first thing that came to mind was scattered pages all over the floor, but the idea of drawing a person without a spine seemed more interesting than a bunch of papers on the floor. Then I decided to go with that, a "book person", with no spine. It would give me the chance to make it a little visceral and grotesque, having bones penetrating the skin. I didn't plan the layout properly because I was just having fun. But If I re-did the whole thing, I would fix the perspective and have the sizes fixed to make it look like a spineless giant fell from the sky into a desert, and have the kid close. I would fix the lights (because they're all over the place at the moment), and I would add blood coming from the giant's injuries.

I want to refine my painting skills before re-doing anything... so I may eventually get  to doing such a thing :)

I drew this with a ballpoint pen, then painted it with different skin-tone markers, added some extra lights with acrylic, extra shadows with black prismacolor, faded in the tones at the back with a thin layer of water-dissolved white acrylic and fixed the image quality and added a slightly transparent gradient color layer in Photoshop.

I bought 

"The Sketchbook Project Journal: 

More than 300 Ways to Fill a Page "

from The Sketchbook Project

(more info at http://www.sketchbookproject.com/)

Every page contains some lines 

to inspire you to draw something on them.

This baby was doodled on said journal. 

It's been fun so far filling up the pages!

To The Left

Most of this posts were taken with my phone's camera.

I only scanned a couple of them.

So yeah... 

apologies beforehand for the low quality pictures that you are about to see.

This chameleon had a horn.

I had never seen this kind of chameleon before.

I used baby blue wax pencil color for the sketch, 

watercolors after that, and ink pens for the final touches.

I made this thinking I'd invert the colours in photoshop, so that the pen would be the light.

My knee has been hurting this days and it's hard to give it a rest...

I can't help wanting to go wander!

Experimenting with markers...
