Stickk.com

Well, it's been a while I suppose. So my best friend and I are trying this New Years resolution thing where he works out and I finish six personal paintings this year. We're using a site called Stickk.com and refereeing each other to make sure we stay accountable. The site takes money out of our account and gives it to our ref if we fail for the week, so it's pretty good at keeping you motivated :-) My goal for this week was to just do some sketching and try to remember why I enjoy drawing. I feel like the biggest problem I've been having is that I consider drawing, 'work' when it should just be good ole fashion 'fun.' 

I started off drawing some video game fan art like I did when I was a kid. Everything was done from imagination (except the painting which was from a painting class I had) and I suddenly know all of my weaknesses when it comes to anatomy and perspective. I need to keep drawing from imagination so I can remind myself what I need to work on and to just have some fun. Anyway, next week I want to focus more on what my painting will be about and get some thumbnails in. Taking it slow at first so I don't kill myself. Let me know if you want to support me on stickk and I'll send an invite so you get weekly updates.
