When you want to draw something, but don’t know what, what do you do?
DRAW SOMETHING HORRIBLE! :O
Q(‘-‘ O)
And as for the title, see how the little floating platforms look like something out of a platformer? Clear the level and earn the Sun God’s blessing! He is watching.
One day, 11 years ago, I got a big envelope from our church. I noticed that the paper the envelope was veerry niiiice like drawing paper…So yeah.
The idea for this came about when I wanted to see if I could do it (my right hand drawing its own self-portrait). Turns out it actually wasn’t as hard as I thought (and I normally hate drawing hands). :O I should probably try again sometime soon to see if I still have it in me.
A series of random, unrelated sketches I did. This was during the start of the semester I took beginning drawing in college. The day before, we (the beginning class) were doing still life drawings in graphite (pencil) and the more advanced students used pen. I used pen in these sketches in my free time just to try it out. I noticed I tend to be more confident with drawing than if I were to use pencil. O.o
An old sketch I did of a classroom at the community college I went to. I’m not sure what that pole thing with the gauge and knobs was for. It was attached to the ceiling like it was holding up the room, which might have been part of its purpose. It looked kind of nautical. And it was in a classroom. Hence, the title. Ummm…it seemed like I was the only one who noticed it. O.o
Looking back at this now as a better artist, I noticed that the perspective of the window in the background and the desks is skewed. I tried keeping it as close to what I saw as much as possible, but…:S
(Interestingly enough, I noticed that perspective in artworks, even in photogeraphy* tends to be exaggerated. The desk in the background at the left was set at that angle in real life, and yet, I know I should’ve drawn the top edge to be a bit more level with the horizon.)
*Especially if you zoom out, which makes things in the background appear smaller. Also if you’re trying to take a photo of a rectangular object like a painting, it can make the edges look like they’re curving outward, which is why I try to avoid zooming out as much as possible, and instead, will back away from the subject.
