So here is day four. It is interesting, I do more then one sketch per day but I only one gets uploaded because otherwise this would take a lot more time and ruin the creative process. Today my husband choose the sketch
A sketch, penned, and shaded in block. Oddly it is done from my wig head (which had a moulding of my face on the front) and my fedora, but I kinda took a left turn.
sketched from a cover of one of my DVDs, stylized in photoshop
Today I did a few drawings and wasn’t sure which to post, I chose this one for no particular reason at all, other then I thought it would look cool colorized and had some neat lines to it.
the proportions are way off I know, and I am not happy with her chin, or her eyes now that I look at it again. Still, I had to upload something. Perhaps I should have chosen the drawing I did of Rory?
So I was struck by the notion that I would create something each day. So like many other things in my life, unless I make myself accountable for it, I tend to forget and not do it. So I decided I will post online my Daily creations. I won’t be going all out ach day, simple sketches will be fine and as long as I can one of those and post it, then I am good. Meeting my goal. I do see that while on the road this will be hard, but I shall see if I can either play catch up, or post bad photos from my call. We shall see. So who knows, at least till Easter nimlas.org might become a daily blog.
Remember I ran a contest this summer for The WEIRD Show? Yeah well it was not forgotten, the winner was picked just after DragonCon, it was Zackmann. He and I corresponded back and forth so I could draw inspiration from him, and then I was able to create a painting for him. I did this and finished it and actually mailed it just after Halloween. I waited on updating the blog till I heard from him that he got it… then I just plum forgot to get back and update. Mark the Encaffeinated ONE even remind me, and then I procrastinated and never updated the blog. Tonight though, I remembered!
So here I give you, the prize that is now in Zackmann‘s home
Ta-Da!
All in all I have to say the whole contest experience was really nice, and personally it pushed me to get my act in gear and create. I need to do that more often. We all know the line “I should be writing,” but for me it is “I should be painting.” (Or drawing, or sketching, or shooting, or sculpting or something like that.)
