Day 2- Stars

First attempt at graphic arts. Tried making a stray night by tutorial. Nailed it! (Why do the art gods hate me :'(! )

Needless to say, I'll be tying again tomorrow with something different.

Also, did I ever mention that I have a professional website?

Go to www.insomnium-eye.net to take a break form all this mediocrity.

Also, I made a leaf.

Resumed- Day 1

I'm back, and feeling shittier than ever!
I tried setting up a web series with an actual artist, and the project is going well. I'm just a writer, though.

However, I still have that itch to draw. But then, I am enraged by mediocrity.

I just cooked up this monstrosity. The pose is just... wrong. Who holds a book like that? Also, he has colossal fingers. Another day as a shitty artist with high standards... Hopefully the optimists are right, and with practice, this "glorious" turd turns into something valuable someday.

Day 32- Girl

Decided to get off my ass and actually try to make something. So I went on facebook, looked for the most attractive girl online, and asked her if I could draw her. She accepted, however I should of mentioned that it was the first time I draw somebody I -know-, needless to say it needs work. I need some advice here to make it look better!

Day 31- No.

Tired. Here's a gun. Just google search "Gun" to find reference.

... Due to Migraine.

Day 22- Lazy

Lazy and depressed today. Didint want to draw, but I did so anyways.
Stock photo off of Google.


Friday, February 8, 2013

Day 21- Fun stuff.

No actual studies today. Laid back and drew a "scene" from one of my potential series.

Also, page 3.


Day 20- late

I forgot to upload this yesterday, considering how i just fell asleep like a baby after completing it. Twas a rough day. I'll be uploading whatever i draw today later.

Day 19 Extended- Crappy comic.

Decided to start on a poorly-drawn webcomic series. Just for kicks.



Day 19- Even more Loomis

Traced a study on male anatomy by (guess who) Loomis.
My line art is getting cleaner.

I also sketched a bit. Because I felt like it. Dont hate on me!

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

Day 18- More Loomis

Getting bored of the Loomis anatomy studies. Most of them have been copies, however this one was a trace.


Monday, February 4, 2013

Day 17- Loomis Anatomy

Before having my breakfast and going to school, I decided to resume my anatomy study, and was once again referred to Loomis's artwork. I'm planning on doing a study on shading, as It's always been a weak point.
Get your cringing pants on!

                                                               Pants? What are those?

Day 16- Bad progress.

I tend to do this often. I tell myself I'll draw more than I did previously, however by the time I muster the motivation to do so, I begin to feel drowsy and have no energy to continue. I then remember that I have a blog to update.
Anyways, today I drew a portrait of Flipper from Weirdos INC,

Day 15- Heads

Really didint want to draw anything today, but alas, I had to, otherwise I get the German speech.
Anatomy study on the male head, copied from Loomis's artwork.

Day 14- Tablet problems

My tablet isnt working today for some reason, as I opened SAI as I usually do to start on my daily task.
However, I noticed that an annoying circle would go around wherever my pen was at the time, which would cause an irritating lag which made it rather impossible to draw with.

I attempted to look up a solution, but was to no avail. It's rather late, I'll be uploading something tomorrow, something along the lines of anatomy. 

I really need to get my scanner fixed...

Day 13- Female study.

Finished what I started yesterday. Well, not really. I made several drawings like this one, but just erased them as I didint really like them. I finally came up with one that's acceptable.
So, here it is, female shape study.


Wednesday, January 30, 2013

Day 12- Not really.

Attempted to upload my study of the female anatomy, which felt weird as hell. Needless to say, it looked terrible so I decided to start again. Then I realized I had to finish my homework. I just drew myself drinking coffee instead. I'll be uploading the female study tomorrow, so get your cringing hat on.
Yes, that took about 2 minutes to draw. I'm exhausted, hopefully that counts as an excuse.

Day 11- Failed PSI and the thinker.

A friend of mine asked me to draw PSI from memory, which failed miserably.

As you can see, he looks like a cross between Eggman and Mr. Mime
I then decided to copy a classic piece of sculpture, "The thinker", but got bored eventually decided to draw my fat friend, Assel




As for short stories; I'll be pausing said stories and moving those for Thursdays through Sundays, as I'm quite busy with school, and most of my writing has to go to said studies.

Day 10- Controversial!

A friend of mine asked me to draw what my depiction of freedom was, and so, I went on SAI and did my thing. I challenged myself by not using any references or copies, and just drew everything from memory.
It's a bit ideologically sensitive from what I can presume, however, I'm not the type to fear one's criticism.

Skulls symbolize the death of, or removal of certain ideologies or "authorities" from one's life style and/or culture, which eventually leads to true freedom. This is from my own personal experiences, which are solely my own.

Writing coming later tonight.

Day 9- One full week.

It's been a week since I started this challenge, needles to say I sometimes regret it.
I feel allot of fatigue allot of the time, or, quite simply, a lack of motivation. I'm currently working on the first chapter of Fatal Rebellion, while trying to motivate some of the artists in Insomnium Eye, I find it difficult to motivate them to draw without acting like a douche bag.

So today, I decided to attempt to draw Alex, the main character from Aieslum. However, I had some troubles finding a right expression for him, so I just kept him faceless.

I then decided to trace a Samurai, because I  was listening to some old Japanese music, which made me think of a Samurai.

I've been working on the first chapter of Fatal Rebellion, however at the time I feel quite fatigued. I shall continue at a later time, possibly tomorrow.

Day 8- HAH!

HAH! You thought I forgot about today's drawing, huh?
Well, nay, I did not. I simply had stuff to do. Such as homework, exercise, and seeing some relatives.
Today I drew some silly stuff, and made a decision regarding my writing;
Starting tomorrow, I will be uploading chapters from my future comics, series, and games. But only one chapter at a time, and will resume chapter 2... eventually, when I feel like it. Deal with it.

So tomorrow I'll be uploading chapter 1 of IE's first future game; Fatal Rebellion  A certain beer drinker's going to enjoy that.


Friday, January 25, 2013

Day 7- Procrastination? Nay.

Last night I began on the following story, however, at around 9:00 PM or so I felt faint, and felt as though I lost consciousness for a brief second or two. So I decided to hit the sack and continue on this story today, which I did. I'll be uploading a second one later tonight.

On a side note, I drew a Rockin Yeti.

Snow Patrol is actually entirely made out of Yeti's.

Day 6- Exhaustion

Long day at school, had a long jog. Decided to eat out for once. When I got home I worked on some homework, fell asleep like a rock. When I woke up I decided to trace John Lennon, as his song, "Imagine", and considering how it put me in the mood to get online, I traced good ol' Lennon.

Came out looking like an old Daniel Daniel Radcliffe with a messed up nose and crossed eyes.

I'm aware that I haven't been writing, and that's due to all my writing going towards school. I'll write more about pixies and hermits when I have some time, probably during the week end.
Also, Axel is fat.

Day 5- Creepy skulls.

Had a huge lack of motivation today, considered not drawing at all. But I got motivated by a very manly Canadian girl and an angry German alcoholic. Like I said, I have weird friends.
I tried to draw a skull frozen in snow with a crow on its head by using some random references, but I wasnt very satisfied with the result.

I then decided to go on the web to try and trace a human skull, just to get the dimensions right. Then I realized that it's 10:00 PM and I have to wake up early tomorrow.

I'll work on the story when I wake up before class. Cheers people.

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Day 4- One of those days.

Feeling unmotivated, slightly depressed, and bored. Finished some homework, and worked on some drawing anyways. Because if I dont, Dexter might give me some angry German speech  and we know how scary angry Germans are. (Last time one got too angry, millions died)

Ohohoho, dark humor. Anyways, Sofar I decided to draw the first thing that came to mind while browsing Facebook; A drunk bear. Yeah, my friends are weird like that. Here's the reference, no tracing, just copied. Partially. I'll get back to coloring it after dinner, when I stop feeling like a slob.

Day 3- Poem

School began today, and my head is buzzing, I will nap. I shall attempt to complete the bottles from yesterday when I awaken. No story today, but instead, a poem. Wattpad is currently down, though, so I'll just post it here;

"Fear

I sit in front of my laptop, wondering what to write. I look at my clock, time goes by.
I ponder of my awakening, is it all worth it? I try to use Photoshop, but it wont work work, unlike the clock.
"Registration declined" pops on my screen, diminishing my motivation that was within.
I rant on Facebook, and get some replies, "Use Cs2, and your problems will no longer arise".
I proceed to download, with diminishing haste, when I get the program to work, my motivation has lost its pace.

I look once more, at that handsome clock, it's Two PM, and I haven't drawn even a rock.
"I'll do it later" I say to me, only to see it again at three.
Time goes by, and nothing's done, my motivation is more than undone.
I play some video games with a fat man, I skip a few hours, my motivation has been gone for said hours.
I ponder the night, no motivation here, I ask myself "why am I here?"
I go home, disappointed and depressed, only to find, that I cannot rest.

I go on the book, not of pages but faces, to find that a dear friend, has similar problems, of lack of motivation.
I ask her what's wrong?  You always seem upbeat. Why should you let such emotions lead you to defeat?
Her answer surprises me, to my lazy demise, not everyone has the motivation, to go on without sighs.
I jump on my notepad, and write once or twice, to try to come up with a poem, that rhymes!

I think and I ponder, yet nothing wonders, within my mind, until I consider;
Write about what makes me quiver!
To no avail, quivering fails, so I ponder again, until finally, I'm reminded, to simply write, what happens among
reality!
And so I write, and began a draft;
"I sit in front of my laptop, wondering what to write..."

Day 2; Failed bottles, and the angry Hermit.

First attempt; I tried to draw something from reference, a room full of bottles, per say. I soon came to realize that making the bottles symmetrical was more of a challenge that I was used to, namely the shoulders (bellow the neck).

I forfeit this section of the challenge, considering how mediocre i found progress.

I took a 30 minute break, and mustered enough motivation to continue, I read some guides, and decided to simply trace an image, which I did, twice, to try out some line art tutorials I read.
I attempted to color in the bottles about three times, each feeling as if I was filling in a dumpster with waste and garbage liquids. I decided to call it a day, and resume my work on the bottles once I can clear my mind from troubled thoughts.

On a side note, here's my short story.

Day 1; Raven, and the Phantom Pains

Day one of my journey to honing my skills on what I consider to be my dreams.
I've wanted to have my own studio since I can recall. Till today, I've been holding back, due to some severe depression, social issues, and self-inflicted isolation. I cannot use these minor irritations as an excuse for not working hard to reach my goals.

I looked up a picture of a raven for my drawing, and copied it from there. I used Paint tool SAI. 
I do not know who the photographer is, but credit for the picture goes to him/her. 



Today's short story, to which I'm practicing my literary skills is titled; "The Phantom pains"

Let me know what you think.

Criticism, Praise, Suggestions and Requests are welcome.
