For the uninspired...

Studies! I can always use more practice rendering clothes since, y'know, naked is so Garden of Eden..

I blame the Taqueritos!

Sketch sketch sketch..

... Will I ever feel like doing something complete? Is it worth it to try and push through the frustration to get something to completion? So sad that hesitation breeds where sheer joy and excitement once thrilled.

Clearly, further study is required..

Nrgh. I've gotten into the habit of performing study after study, and never bringing anything to completion. Tonight I'd intended to at least lay the foundation for something I would finish.

Angel or demon? Hands, hands, rssfrssn' hands!

Ever since I discovered this was the Year of the Metal Rabbit I've wanted to draw a rabbit mech and it's pilot.  No one does sexy mecha pilots like Shirow, so clearly I have some studying ahead of me.

Sketches up on sketches!

Very excited about the new Derby contest...

And smaller!

Not always what you expect..

I planned  on spending the evening Derby-ing, but apparently this week's theme (Magic) has too much battering at the backside of my eyelids, thereby turning every attempt into a turbulent mess. I finally threw my hands up in disgust and settled for wearing out the muse with a lap around the gym.

I'unno what she's doing either.

Slacking? Hardly...

I have a ton of physical sketches that I need to scan and add to the fray. In the meantime, the Girls Drawing Girls blog had a new weekly theme-- pin-up girls inspired by my favorite song lyrics. While my favorite song varies widely, a strong contender is always Incubus' "Wish you were here" (the music video for which I've actually never seen until now!). This is the quintessential California girl song, and I identify with it completely. Ergo..

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy, happy

I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy, happy

Age of tools..

Yup, I think Painter has surpassed by beloved openCanvas as my favorite sketching program.
