About today’s pic, it’s not really a new one :S but it is still one of my favorites that I have not shared here on this blog. I have quite a bit of art that has yet to be posted here. I like to add only new things here but I still think this is worth sharing.

I drew this many, many years ago (well, about 4 years ago) and it’s one of the few illustrations that have still held up for a while. Most of my old stuff, I can’t even look at now without cringing and feeling embarrassed xD. But not this one, I worked super hard on this one back when I made it.

I spent a lot of time on the outfit mainly. I wanted to give her a bit of a glam rock/punk look. It’s not quite something I would sport outside, just looks pretty to me :3 hehe.

This is actually a preexisting character from my ongoing web series that I am still somewhat developing. I’m always a little bit unsure of what I want her to look like in the story. I’ve just been having some trouble really finalizing her design is all xD. The only thing I’m really sure of at the end of the day is that I’d like to incorporate both punk/tribal styles. I gave her a ton of tattoos on various parts of her body (arm, head, legs etc.) as well.

I admit that I made her look a little bit more masculine than I intended to. Don’t get me wrong. I wanted her to be bit androgynous in appearance and a bit “tomboyish” by nature, but I think I made her jaw line a bit too strong in the black and white sketches. I’ll probably keep her looking this way until further notice since I like it for the most part.

These were originally going to be just a black and white sketches in the beginning, since I was just brainstorming when I made these. But you know me xD. I LOVE color. I like at least some color in my drawings. Come to think of it, I think I wanna start drawing more of these sporadic character sheets in the future. I’ve got a bunch of characters in my mind, existent and non-existent, that I wanna get down on paper eventually. :]

The post Day #192 My Recently Made Character Sheet appeared first on I 365 Art.

Although I only used a few filters to get this effect, I like it! It’s really intriguing and a lot more different from my normal stuff which is usually in color. You can find the original picture that I made here. I made it about a couple weeks ago :3. I wanna have more to say about this but I don’t really have anything else to write except the fact that I used a bunch of filters for this.

In other news, my web comic updates on Drunkduck 2-3 times a week. Drunkduck is one of the best web comic communities on the net today. If you like free web comics and a friendly community, Drunkduck is the site for you :3!

The post Day #93 Mega Dots appeared first on I 365 Art.

Other than these changes, that’s pretty much it for now. I don’t want to change the site up too quickly or too dramatically xD.

So for today, I decided to start on a picture of an original character, a  singer/songstress that came out of the top of my head. I have a lot of friends who are in the whole Lolita scene these days, so I felt kind of inspired to draw this because of them ^^;! I’m not so much a lolita fashion person, but I do like some of the pretty lolita dresses I see from time to time.

I first started seeing a ton of girls dressed in Lolita garb when I started going to anime conventions a couple years ago. I first started hearing about the genre back when a Jrock group called Malice Mizer began to grow popular in the states back in the 90s’. A guy in the group named Mana was the one who sort of introduced me to it. He used to dress up as a Lolita and was easily able to pass off  as a woman, until he started speaking of course! xD

Anyway, I didn’t have enough time to paint this in so I’ll most likely finish this up probably later tonight! This is going to have a ton more colors and detail than the recent ones I’ve been posting so I will need more time. Will have the finished painting by tomorrow!

The post Day #39 The Songstress Progress appeared first on I 365 Art.

Thanks for the nice comments I received yesterday and the day before for the drawings I made for the I 365 Art blog :D. Today, I decided to go with something a little crazy! (I’ve been feeling crazy all week due to lack of sleep xD!)

Today, I also want to point out something pretty awesome and funny. Since I’ve been making these digital drawings every day like this, I’ve been able to tinker with Photoshop more. From what I can see, I feel like I have been improving lately. I don’t normally point this sort of thing out or mention it even, but for anyone wanting to improve their art some, you should try to doodle as often as possible :). There is always room for improvement for every artist ^^!

Some background on this drawing. Of course, the drawing illustrates a tribal woman from one of my stories. It’s actually a character I have worked on several times before actually. I like characters with Mohawks (especially female characters with Mohawks) and anything punk-like in appearance. There’s just something extremely sexy and bad ass about a chick with a Mohawk xD. I can’t quite put my finger on it though.

I remember back in high school, I wanted to get a Mohawk, but my mom quickly stopped me and told me that she didn’t want me to cut my hair. Mind you, I had super long hair back then and she didn’t want to see me chop it all off in the name  of a Mohawk. I no longer desire to have one, but I still do enjoy looking at them ^^.

This drawing took about 3 hours. Sometimes when I make digital drawings, it sometimes feels like a task. But I had a lot of fun tweaking her hair and skin :3.

On a final note, be sure to check out the Resources section of the blog. New how to’s have been added. Feel free to check those out. Have a good day ^^!

The post Day #35 The Chief’s Daughter appeared first on I 365 Art.

Since I won’t be around until Saturday night, I decided to pre-draw today’s drawing and tomorrow’s drawing so I won’t have to worry them xD. I hope you guys like the art work I made for the two days and I will try to reply back to comments when I return on Saturday ^^.

This drawing was a really simple one that took very little effort. I drew it last night and since I was tired, I didn’t feel like taking the time to create something extravagant. It barely took me about an hour and half to draw and color this and the most difficult part about it was the hair. I was too tired to draw in each and every strand so I sort of just half assed it a little xD. Just wanted to get the job done.

Not sure where I got the inspiration from. I was looking through pictures of princesses and I liked how a girl was posing so I tried to make a drawing with a similar pose with her hair blowing in the wind. Like I said, not much thought compared to what I’m used to!

Anyhow-have a fantastic weekend everyone!

The post Day #24 Glam Rock appeared first on I 365 Art.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to visit this blog everyday. I really enjoy doing what I do, which is drawing, and I’m very pleased to know that my art work is being discovered. I will continue to draw masterpieces for you all every single day! There are very few things that I’ve stuck to for the long term. I hope that I can keep this up for a long time.

About this drawing. I wanted to make something cute and girly and colorful! I also wanted to go for a Valentine’s day theme as well. It’s like one of those characters from those cute, girly RPG games xD. I haven’t given her a name but I just might in the future.

This took about 1 1/2 hours to draw and another hour and a half to color this in photoshop. I used a billion different layers just to achieve the appearance I was looking for. I wanted to make the art colorful and bright as you can see. I think I had the most trouble coloring her hair and her dress. The colors on both kept looking funky so I had to keep adjusting them xD.

Not really sure what gave me the inspiration to draw this considering I’ve been stressing a little so far this month. I guess I just wanted to break out of my shell and create something totally different! Hope you like it.

By the way, I just discovered this website called Wet Canvas last night. It’s really strange that I never heard of it considering I’ve been out and about in the art world for quite some time now. It is a really tight-nit community of artists with a passion for art and creativity. This place quickly drew my eye and I have begun mingling in the community already! There are a lot of active users in the forums and it just seems like a very hopeful community! ^^

Okay…So these two characters are made up by myself, but they already existed prior to this post xD. Since I’m on the subject, I might as well explain a little bit about my webcomics while I’m at it. These two characters were originally created for my first DD webcomic known as The Faction, but were later migrated over to my more recent story known as DeadFingers.

I won’t really say much more about this drawing due to the fear revealing some spoilers, but these two characters are tied together somehow (Some fans even speculate that the two characters in the story may even be related.) If you’re interested in this read, you can follow up on DeadFingers HERE. Enjoy!

So yeah, a little bit about today…I might have caught a minor cold while out the other day. It’s nothing serious and it sure as hell won’t slow me down in any way. I’m just kind of bummed out at the fact that I can’t control my body 24/7 x.x…So I guess you could say that I feel violated as a result of being sick Dx. I haven’t had a cold in a long time now so that makes it even more frustrating. I was going for a record :p.

I think my non-colored drawings have always looked kind of icky for some reason. Maybe its just the lack of detail or something, I can’t quite pin point it exactly, but there is a reason for why I opt to color everything I make xD!

Can’t wait to present a colored version soon!
