Lectures are back
Black ballpoint pen. Again.

random typography
Sometimes I pull out my sketchbook only to realize I don't have any idea what to draw (yes, it happens even to me, now more than ever), so I just write random words in hope some day perhaps I will make a font or two.
The first one is one of my regular "lectures are boring".
The second one was made during a V:tR RPG session.
As usual, black ballpoint pen. Lyrics are from the Tori Amos song "Icicle" (though I got one word wrong, blah).
If you're interested in nice typography, go check the I love Typography blog, some good stuff gets posted there..
Seems life my sketchblog features more text and less images with every entry, I'll refrain from doing that... but all the things I draw at class remain there so I don't have much left to post.

take a deep breath and count to ten
It always amazes me how certain people have no shame. Not only will they claim your work as theirs, but upon confronting them about it, they will
a) blame it on "a friend who gave it to this person claiming he/she created it"
b) have the nerve to say those drawings were copied from some reference book, even though most of them are scribbled directly from my morbid mind (what kind of book would offer references like this, anyway?), and some of them are parts of my own face or objects found around my room
c) call me immature, poorly raised and what not, because I did not accept the fact my own work was taken and presented as someone else's. Not even copied by the offender's own hand, which I would understand, since that would mean the said person is at least interested in gaining the skill herself.
Just because I don't write NELA DUNATO on every fucking piece of my work no matter how insignificant, someone jumps at the chance and yay, look what I'm drawing when I'm bored at school — right, electrical engineering is certainly what you're made of.
Steal this, bitches.

biomechanic sketch
It's been 3 months since my last post (and 3 more months between that one and the one before), I hope this won't turn into kind of tradition.
Seriously, I wasn't drawing at all in the past few months. Not a sketch. Nothing.
So here's a warm-up from yesterday's lectures. Black ballpoint pen.

sketchbook update
I finally started driving school. I do pay attention to the class, but my hands have to be kept busy at all times. (yep, I'm a very mercurial type)
You can see some preliminary sketches for my last digital painting at the bottom.
This one was started at college (hand, eye), continued during the driving school lecture (glass, ear) and finished at home before bedtime yesterday (candlestick, shuriken).
As usual, black and red ballpoint pen.

warming up
Today's lecture was almost interesting, the professor is a funny man and can keep his audience awake with his witticisms. But I still decided to pass.
I feel a bit rusty, but here it is. No horror vacui on the first one!

back to school
The first week back at college hasn't been very fruitful... actually I didn't go there much at all. But now I'm back with my sketchbook ballpoints.

how you guys get here
I admit, I'm guilty of it — typing questions in the search box, hoping to find a tutorial about the topic. But it's still funny when I find it in my logs. So here's what people type in and mysteriously get here.
how to sketch curvy women
I honestly don't know, I rarely do those.
how to draw eyes and lips
Try searching with quotes: "how to draw eyes", "how to draw lips".
what a fashion sketch should look like
From what I gather, there's no rule. It's important to show how the clothes looks, and people may resemble a hanger, no one will care.
how did michelangelo know how to draw the human body so well?
My guess is he devoted years of his time to study and practice, mainly drawing from life. Just a guess.
how to draw nude chicks
By looking at nude chicks.
lecture boring?
Indeed.
why lectures are boring
Because you're studying something that doesn't interest you. Or perhaps you are interested, but the teacher is so dull he manages to ruin it for everyone, as was the case with my programming class.
great nude chicks
I doubt you were happy with your find.
never
more.
...
I don't want those of you who came here for the sketches to feel cheated, so here's something abstract I did in ballpoint pen during the *sigh* lectures.

Lilin or something
Perhaps I should be drawing bigger boobs. And more curvy women in general.

Sketchbook update
The first drawing is something I sketched a few weeks ago, and goes well with the rest of today's sketchbook pages.
The next two are sketched today, during lectures.
During one class some guy I never saw before sat next to me. I was paying attention to the class for a while, and then I noticed drawing movements of his hand. I couldn't see what it was, but he seemed like he knew what he was doing. (Mental note: I have to take a video of myself when I'm drawing, because other's people's movements always seem so different than mine!) I was thinking of asking him about it, but changed my mind. I guess I am a shy person after all.
But I should be looking for such people around me. I feel like a misfit sometimes.
Anyway, here's the stuff.

lectures are boring III
I should make a category for these. Again sketched during the lecture. Obviously I haven't used reference, so some mistakes are evident, especially on the female — wrong direction of spine at the bottom (it should be aligned with the butt) and lower ribs are too narrow, but the figure silhouette is fine I think. Except that knees should be lower, but I ran out of paper space.
Black ballpoint pen.

lectures are boring II
I went to my first lecture this year. Things haven't changed much, still sketching obsessively instead of taking notes.. :)
Red ballpoint pen and white gel pen.

lectures are boring I
Random sketches during regulation technique lectures.
Drawing breasts seen from profile doesn't seem to work for me.

evil Xor from outer space
Sometimes I'm a geek like that. But the credit for this idea goes to my classmate who uttered XORRRR while I was pissing my pants.

Fantasy sketches
Another batch of older sketches, made during lectures.

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.
