Surprisingly enough, i got a lot done today. Even though i managed to waste about 4 hours playing pokemon dungeon.. yes i play videogames.. but only when i cant draw. Now thats a bunch of shit i know. You can always draw, even if yer on a bumpy ass subway car... but alas.. the mind needs to experience entertainment and some other form of completion no?
so i managed to bust out 3 pages of Amo Jamon this weekend, but that sounds more extravagant than it really is. One of the pages was just a single panel of buildings.. but damn those can be a pain in the ass when you tryin to bust out multiple perspective points. I had to tape extra pieces of computer paper on either end of the bristol to get the perspective i was looking for.
Along with that i managed to wrap up my drapery assignment for fundamentals of drawing class. Yeah yeah i know.. fundamentals of drawing.. fuckin lame right? Eh, to be honest i've learned a few things i never knew... and somethings that i DID know.. but never quite understood how they were done. Not only that, but it makes for good warming up before i hit the comix.
Anyhow, i'm hoping to bust out a few sketches on a daily basis before i start doing anything.. even if its in highlighter pen at work. Just like this lil illo below... i think i might try n do one daily, and then put them into rotation on my site.
itd be neat i figure.
cant wait for summer break... i need some down time so i can get these pages done and colored up POOF!
Been working like a monster on some pages for an anthology coming up this fall (or so they say), but man school sure is being a pain in the ass. Its not so much as HARD, but it takes a lot out of me.
Mondays and Wednesdays, I'm waking up at around 6am (not typical for me,..usually its more like 7:30-8am), and busting my ass to school by 8am (which is usually actually like 8:15-8:30), and then i'm there till about 6pm... rather, my last class (i only have three) gets out at 5:50, and then i end up sitting in the student lounge drawing up comics till my girl swings by to pick me up, sometime after 7 or 8. Then if i'm not too puckered out, i hit up the gym for 1-3 hours. THEN I EAT.
Tuesdays i usually walk my happy lil ass to work, start up at 2 or 3 and dont get home till around 10/11 at night. Walking for an hour, and then standing for 8 isnt the funnest thing in the world... but at least I've managed to get 70 some odd thumbnails drawn up for the rest of the Tout Le Monde book.
Thursdays is always 9-4. I get a ride to work in the AM, and i'm usually there around 8:45 cuase my girl works at 9 or 10... and then i walk my happy lil ass home! Its not so bad with the ipod streamin musica into my mind... helps me reflect on a lot of shit, i wouldn't be suprised if it turns my hippocampus on and helps me put some shit into long term memory while i'm taking my lil trek home. Listen to me talking all intelligently, it wont happen often i promise. But while i'm in pshycology, i should try to at least recite what i'm learning, dontcha think?
Friday mornings i work a quick 9-12 shift, and then steph picks me up and we get some delish katsudon from the japanese mall near my girls work. Its fuckin amazing lemme tell you. After that we hit her pad and just crash for the rest of the afternoon, doze off to some vh1 garbage.
Weekends are full of 8 hour shifts that are either closing or opening. I've managed to convince my supervisor to only work me 9-5 on sundays...so at least now i have a nice sunday night to spend with the misses.
Anyfuckingways.. some of the shit i been workin on, for you to gaga over... if my shit warrants that type of reaction that is...
And sketchy shit, just warm ups and character studies...
