I printed and laminated a couple of bookmarks for the upcoming fantasy convention Istrakon I'll be attending this weekend.

still life studies
I neglected real practice lately, I've been only sketching random junk from my head, so today I decided to draw something real.
I bought the heavy-textured yellow paper and a white pencil some time ago, now I finally put them to use. But the paper is not really suitable for detailed drawings.

reminiscence
I removed these images from my gallery, so I thought I'd post them here since I'm rather proud of them. Both are from nearly 2 years ago, January 2006.
I started drawing in summer 2005, and I had no previous drawing experience. I drew Kidush out of boredom, and next thing I knew people were praising my pencil work. That made me all enthusiastic about drawing so I did some photo-referenced portraits, but then a wise man said that drawing from photo reference is not so good, and that I should draw from life. And that's what I did.
Then I started drawing people, and they pointed out how my anatomy is all messed up. That's when I left still life and started sketching people, faces, skulls and bones, muscles and body parts... And while I think I made progress, I'm sad to see how I've become so impatient, I never thought about sitting in front of a inanimate object and draw it for hours again. It seemed so much easier before.

ballpoint Caravaggio
Shading with ballpoint pen. The works referenced are Caravaggio's Amor Victorious and Sick Bacchus. I screwed up the mouth and right eye on the latter.

hand and foot
Mine. Almost.
Let's see if I can draw at least one sketch from life a day, for a week.

Girl with a gun
Does "Basics of regulation technique" sound interesting to you? Neither it did to me. So I was sketching during the lecture, and one of the sketches I decided to color in Photoshop:
I didn't really pay attention to lighting and details, but it was fun.
