I haven't had a real sketchbook in quite sometime, and what i mean by real sketchbook is something that can't fit in my back pocket, so i busted out the wallet and picked myself up something that wasnt too big, and not too small.
I havent really drawn much in it, just a lot of warm up bs, it seems that most of what i've been doing has been production work rather than just goofing off... and i think what prompted me to pick this book up was that i've seen a lot of people lately doing more "goofing off" than production, and i've been getting very jealous.
I really miss goofing off, i gotta do it more often.
The first pic, is the front cover, i have yet to conjur up a backcover
the second pic i mustered up during break in writing for animation class.
For the past few months, prolly more like 2 years, i've been on this kick where all i want to do is just draw. Going out with friends, spending time with loved ones, or even playing video games or watching a movie are all activities that i've been lookin down on. Why? because all i want to do is draw. So i keep asking myself, is it that i'm turning into a hermit? I've had these ideas and fantasies of moving to some remote city just out of the blue, not telling anyone i've left and just living on what i can. Get a shitty job somewhere moving boxes or selling furniture, and then just come home and eat shitty ramen and draw my heart out.
Now i would never actually do that, i'm far too dependent on my friends and girlfriend to ever do that, but at the same time i feel like i want to be a SEMI-hermit. Could it be that my work ethic is just beyond what everyone else can handle?
At school i'm doing pretty good, but the lack of effort among 90% of the school is really starting to get on my nerves. People would rather hang out in the student lounge and shoot the shit, than work on their skills. I understand that for most of them, they're in a new environment where they can be themselves, but it's just so depressing that they'd rather run around getting drunk and goofing off rather than work on their future.
Maybe i'm just a jerk, and i have social problems.
I dont scan enough to post on here everyday, so i dont even know why i'm updating now.
Either way, here's a page from an upcoming title i'm workin on for the con season.
