2012 SD + Self Pub Sketchbook? + Junowrimo End

Friends, would you guys be interested in a self-published sketchbook from me? It would be a small and cheap 20 paged book. If so, what kind of sketches would you like to see? Would you like it if I wrote little blurbs on the sides or just leave it as sketch images?

Been trying to do more sketching and watercolors but lately I've been trying to work on my novel for Junowrimo. I got to about 35k before I decided to stop because I ran out of material and had no idea where my story was going. It's been a valiant effort but I think I would have really nailed this if I actually planned a good outline. I'm glad I got this far on pantsing alone but I'm definitely a planner. I think I'll be able to include what I've written into something good. Just need to make the connections. I like what I've written so far, of course major editing will be needed but it's a good start and I'm proud that I made it this far. Did you any of you guys participate? Did you win?! :D

I'll be participating in July Campnano after this crazy Junowrimo but my word count will be far less and I'll be working on a different story in general. I'm thinking I'll do 20-25k for my word count because it's more of a comic script than a novel. It's actually Blindfolded Love (the characters I sketched below) I plan on working for Campnano so I have a clearer idea of Niella and Kuwei's story. I just wanted it more detailed because right now it's just generalized so that isn't good enough for me. I would also love to get the pages thumbnailed if I have enough time for that during the month.

Homework Sketch Dump 10 + Happy New Years

Sorry guys, I had meant to write a more profound blog post but I just haven't had the time and looks like I won't have any time until after the New Year. :( So here I am throwing out another sketch dump. I honestly didn't expect to be this busy the later half of my break. The first couple of days were so leisurely but I was still working. I'll probably will be able to get more work done after the new year.

Been falling behind on my sketch page a day challenge. I need to make up 3 pages. :( Also was only able to complete one comic in my 3 one shot comic challenge I had with a friend. OTL Well it's better than nothing, right?! I do have one thumbnailed and the other penciled that needs to be scanned and toned. lol Bad, bad, bad...>_<;; I haven't been able to read a book either during the break much. I have a stack of books screaming to be read but I've no time. Eck, well I hope to be able to make up for it once my siblings leave. They do like dragging me out to places and socialize. XD

Well, I hope you all have a great new years with fresh beginnings and blessings! Let's do this! 2013 here we come!

Homework Sketch Dump 9 + Happy Holidays!

Sketches I had to do for my 3D modeling homework at school. These sketches were all copied from Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life. It's interesting to learn to draw from it. Hopefully it improves my anatomy. XD

Sorry, wasn't able to get a good blog post this week so  you get mostly sketches! I've been able to start comicking again which is great. Slowly but surely. I'm hoping to be able to get a lot of work done over the break if possible. Comic or novel. Either would be great. ;)

Oh I bought myself a bunch of new art supplies! Merry Christmas to me! lol I've been wanting to experiment with watercolor again so I'm hoping that buying these new art supplies will be incentive enough to get my started. I might be unexpectedly busy the rest of the holiday break but we'll see. I'm hoping to also focus on my stories but also have fun doing it.

So far so good on the 75 sketch (page) challenge. I've been doing one for every day, although I did fall behind a couple of times I was able to make up the page the next day or so. :) I strongly urge you all to give the challenge a try! You'll get an artistic license for completing the challenge!

75 Day Sketch Challenge

Hey artist friends! Ever want you own "Artistic License"?

Well jump on over to Brenda Swenson: 75 Day Sketch Challenge. Here you can get your own Artistic License with your own photo.

It'll look something like this (image from http://brendaswenson.blogspot.com):

It's a real solid plastic license, not just an image that you'll see online. lol The only rule is that you can only use pen to sketch which I kind of already do but I'm just inconsistent on how often I sketch. I'm going to try to kick it up a notch and sketch 75 pages not just the number of sketches. If you follow my blog you already see how I sketch so I'm going to try to do more than just people.
