Deviation Actions
I have never drawn so much, in so little time, in all my life. I took many, many, many, blows to my ego and work ethic, but I survived my last semester at Academy of Art University! Victory is mine! But more importantly, so is sleep!
I've come to realize there are few things as wonderful as going to bed without having to set an alarm to get up early the next morning.
Sleep well, everyone.

Need a little mo
Be Like Connie.
I really wanted to share the inspiring story of Connie. A 70-ish year old lady who decided to teach herself to draw last year.
Many of you know I'm an art class teacher for a community center as my "day" job, and this lady, Connie, started coming to some of the classes. She carries a big 16x20 portfolio with more work in it than my own portfolio has.
What super impresses me about Connie is two fold: She didn't let her age or anything else stop her from learning something she wanted to do. And! She didn't dump a bunch of money or time into buying instructional books, videos, or other teaching resources.
Her routine of learning how to draw
More simple wisdom.
From: Top 25 Things I've Learned About Hand Lettering
Full of awesome messages.
I think this Inktober is going to be all about hand lettering for me.
Oh, and the Background book? Yes, it's still progressing. Instead of repeating what my previous tutorials about 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point shared about grid building and all that, I've decided to do more of what I did with the Fullmetal Alchemist piece and problem solve as I draw an actual illustration. I feel like there's more applicable information that way, and it helps to see a similar process repeated for drawing chairs, tables, bookcases, etc.
Thank you for your continued patience!
