Kamisama

I've barely been drawing lately...studying has taken up all of my free time. I couldn't sleep last night so I sat doodling and eventually came up with this. I've been researching a lot about Japanese gods and mythology so I wanted to create something inspired by this. I could never get it right when I was doing a full body shot so I attempted this.

I'm quite happy with this. I want to colour this when I find my graphics tablet pen (I somehow lost it). I'm considering doing a watercolour painting of this since I've not done one of those in a while. I've just started on a mini project, not saying what it is yet but I may go back to this drawing when the project is finished.

It's been a while!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy with work/learning Japanese so I haven't had time to draw lately. Plus it's been hectic after my birthday so I haven't even had a day free in weeks! I finally got some time to relax so I thought I'd draw a picture.

I'm actually so pleased with this. At first I was just messing around with textures and sketching jellyfish and somehow it turned into this. My friend Lilia's been drawing jellyfish too and Laura went to an aquarium in Japan so I've had a lot of influences for this one. I really liked experimenting with the colours and drawing a new animal. They're a lot more fun to draw than I thought!

Hopefully I'll be able to draw more. I've got another competition with Laura coming up so I should be able to update this soon!

I'm back from Serbia!

It's been a while since I've last drawn so it's just a quick character sketch. I was browsing deviantart and came across a hair style and it gave me the idea for this character. It was nice drawing this as it's not my usual character style. I'm really out of habit and I'm not completely satisfied with the colours. At least I'm getting practice though!

Another competition

I took my time with this drawing so there wasn't enough of an update to post last week. 

I did another drawing competition with my friend Laura. I think I lot could be improved (mainly the colours and the pose) but I think I managed to portray a scerene scene well. I'm also very please with my Sakura! 

Also, this is the picture Laura drew for me. I love it so much!

I'm in Serbia again

I've been in Serbia for the past week and a half so I haven't been able to draw at all. I've been busy with my Japanese lessons, meeting friends and sightseeing. Hopefully I'll be able to post more when I get back next weekend. Here's a quick sketch I did since I forgot to post!

It's supposed to be someone kneeling asking for forgiveness. As I said, it's a really quick sketch so it may not be completely accurate. 

I completely forgot to upload last week! I've been a bit busy studying Japanese so I haven't had much time to draw lately. Here's a drawing I managed to complete when I was bored of studying.

I really like this drawing. I had no idea what I was doing and just randomly sketched something. I think it turned out quite well considering! I'm really pleased with the colours and proportions. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can draw next.

In work we had a Star Wars themed "expo". I had been asked to help collect ideas and decorate the stall. It then inspired me to do a couple of Star Wars sketches. No prizes for whoever guesses who the characters are :P.

They didn't take me too long. They were only supposed to be quick sketches in my breaks. I definitely think my proportions and colouring are getting a lot better so I'm quite happy with this.

Hopefully I'll have more for next week. I'm still trying to draw the snowy forest picture but it's taking so long! I think I put a bit too much detail in it :/.
