Anthro sketchdump 1

Wow... I feel bad that I've abandoned this thing for over a month. All of that time went by quickly, didn't it? I guess that school sort of overshadowed this thing a bit. Anyway, I've returned with a few random doodles. Most of them are old and pretty crappy, because I never thought that I'd be posting them.Okay, this is another Doran pic. I did this while in one of my classes... it was wither Astronomy or Theater. But, in any case, I was trying to get proportions correct. Mostly just the torso. The head it too big and his waist is too thin, but I like it anyway. It's my Doran, yay! XD

This next one is a doodle that I did on my whiteboard in my room. I started off with the eye and added on from there. He came out looking quite different than my usual stuff, so I took a picture of it.This is a sketch and shading reference for a picture that I'm doing for a close friend of mine. I've been trying to draw his character, but the muscles seem to be giving me some difficulty. This was done pretty early on, so his design had changed quite a bit, but this is the general idea. His head is much too large, but I was mostly working with the muscles and shading.

Well, I'm sort of being pushed for time so I'll have to try to get more stuff scanned and uploaded in the next few weeks. I have finals all next week, so I should be working on the stuff for those.

Old Anthro Sketches

Alrighty, it's Saturday night and I come with sketches! Well, not a lot of them, but still...


Okay, here is the first pair. It's actually a comparison thing. The one on the left was drawn way back in December. I was watching some Michael Jackson music videos with my little sister and I just started doodling. So I drew Doran all decked out in 80's style clothes. And the one on the right was drawn much more recently, back in February I believe. Just a comparison of how much a style can change in a few months.

This one was drawn back during the summer. We were in Vegas and it was late and I was bored as hell. So I drew Rigby and Keller dancing. I was always happy with Rigby's pose but I hated how Keller turned out. His head and neck is all stretched out and it never looked quite right. Which is probably why I never posted it or did anything with it.

Here is another Doran sketch. I was always planning on developing this, but it's been sitting in my 'sketches' folder for a few months. I doubt that I'll ever actually do anything with it, do I figured that I'd post it.
This'll have to be the last one for tonight. I'm going to try to limit myself to 4-5 pictures per post. Anyway, this one was done for my character on Luna Perpetua. This was when I first started getting into this style of drawing anthros. It's also pretty good considering that I have/had no sense of anatomy.

Alrighty, that's about it for this week. I'll try to scan some of my newer stuff to get up here next week. I'm sure that you'd like to stop seeing my old sketches and start seeing some of my newer (and possibly better) stuff.

October Themed Photos

Not many people know this, but I also take photographs. I take my camera with me everywhere (well, almost everywhere) just in case I'll see something that I want to capture and use later for reference. If I don't have my camera with me, then I'll attempt to sketch it out or jot it down. Here are a few photos that I've taken that I haven't really posted anywhere else.

This was taken at my college during October. I believe that it was the 8th. Anyway, we have a big horticulture unit at Pierce and every year they grow thousands of pumpkins to sell in order to raise money for our school. They make a big deal about it, actually. Rumor has it that they were selling square pumpkins as well, but I never saw one.


This is the corn maze that they grew at Pierce as well. I didn't get to go in because it was super expensive, but it seemed like it was pretty cool. I also believe that they had hay rides on a tractor as well, but I can't remember exactly where that was. I think that it was around the field, but I don't remember.


This wasn't taken at my school. My Mom and sisters were bored one day during September, so we decided to jump on the freeway and drive around a bit. We ended up in Oxnard, where we found miles and miles of pumpkin fields. I just had to jump out and take a few shots of it!



Another shot from the pumpkin field. I liked this pumpkin, for some odd reason. I could imagine it with it's little arms flailing because it has fallen onto it's back.


Well, that'll have to be about it for this post. I have quite a few other photos to share but all the rest of them are in themes. So, yeah... this'll have to be it with the October themed photos. But I will leave with a sketch!

This was done between my twin sister, Samantha, and I. I never posted it because I never saw much of a reason to. It's not very good and nothing is completely finished. What we did was one of us would start a picture and the other would add to it. We do that sort of thing a lot. This was done while we were at Disneyland waiting for a show to begin.

I plan to post more photos or sketches this weekend.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello all. God, I never thought that I'd have an art blog. Go figure, huh?

Anyway, this is where I'll post my doodles that I do during my school day. The stuff that I post here will probably not be posted anywhere else, so doesn't that make this thing special?

Once I get my scanner up and running, I'll try to post weekly. I'll shoot for weekends (Sat. or Sun.), but we'll just have to see how well that works out.

So, yeah, I'm looking forward to using this thing in the future.
