period film inspiration

 

I've been watching a lot of period films......can ya tell? 

And you can see it in her eyes....

From me to you...

Cousins!

So, I have been trying really really hard to draw more lately.

No matter how much homework I have, it is not stopping me!

I have gotten several requests of things to draw for some books that my friend is writing,

but before I get started on those, I need to work on some things.

Some of those things are:

Consistancy

Proportions

Hands/feet

Different ages

So what I did was create some girls who are all different ages, and gave them names.

(i will work on boys later)

My characters so far are:

Samantha, Zoe, and little Grace (who are all sisters), and then Leah and Naomi.

They are all cousins/best friends.

So what I'm now doing is drawing them in all different situations and poses.

I'm trying to get as consistent as possible.

Below is Leah chilling in the grass in her bright yellow tee and blue jean shorts and

Sam and little Grace hanging out at the beach.

(can you tell i'm ready for summer?)

This is the latest one I did. Just finished it this morning actually.

So tell me what you think. I want advice and comments.

How else am I supposed to improve?

Photoshop!!!!

Here is a drawing I did a few weeks ago.

I loved how it turned out. :)

Yesterday my cousin showed me a little bit about photoshop.

So I decided to color and experiment with a drawing I did a while ago.

(which i'm sure is posted somewhere on here...)

So this is how it turned out!

Photoshop is more complicated than I thought,

but I thought I did a better job than I thought I would!

And now I really really really want photoshop..... ;)

An Old-fashion Winter

Yes yes, it has been a while. I know.

I just don't have much time to draw with all this silly homework...and work.

But everyonce in a while I will get a chance to sit down and sketch a little something.

Like the other day, I drew this little drawing.

Only took me around 2 hours to do, but it turned out really nice.

I wanted to draw something old-fashioned, like from Pride and Prejudice or something.

And then I added mittens and snow flakes, so it turned into an old-fashioned winter.

So yeah, that is the story behind my thoughts while sketching the drawing.

If it made any sense...yay! If not....I'm not surprised. ;)
