I almost want to apologize about my lack of submissions, I swear I have a lot of other work that I'm REALLY proud of but I'm having difficulties hooking up my scanner. That and that I'm kinda afraid of scanning them because I know how scanners tend to butcher your work. Most are better viewed in person but until I'm rich and have my own walk-in gallery, DevART will have to suffice.

A lot of the more recent projects I've been working on are simply silhouetted or high-contrast images I've found on the web and decided to draw. Usually I'll take it into Photoshop, make it the right size, adjust the levels a bit so it's clear, maybe sharpen it a bit, then just take a piece of light paper and tape it to the monitor. Crude? Yes, but damn it it works! Once I have the lineart I usually just flip the page around, put another page under it, and retrace it on the other side. THEN, try and follow this, I flip it BACK AROUND and do a graphite transfer right into my sketchbook. And thats it, a few more hours to make it crisp and photo-like, fill in the dark, accent the light and it's done!

More artwork coming soon, plus a look at my new laptop as well :]

Note to anyone who's put me on Watch, make sure you're watching my Scraps too; a lot of newer work that I'll be posting eventually will most likely have one or more WIPs pics in there. Just a heads up.

So I'm really enjoying doing portraits now, it's
really engaging and rewarding. So far I've done
maybe 5 different head shots! Take a look, if
you like what you see, message me.
I may do one for you :]

Okay so I've wiped about 4/5 of my gallery away as I no longer feel enough effort was put into it. As it is, I've got soooo many drawings just waiting to be scanned it's ridiculous. My only excuse on that front is just that my dad's comp is the only one in the house that can scan and he's usually doing something on it. Will work on that today though, promise!

All sketches and things of the sort will strictly be in Scraps while anything I've spent a lot of time working on will be included in my gallery. Basically, anything I've worked on collectively for over a week -which is quite a few of my newer stuff. Most scraps will be turned to Gallery images sooner or later, so check em out.



Oh, by the way, I turned 18 3 days ago. My sister got me a fish and two lotto tickets. :]
