Three days ago I do started a year long journey. I haven't really created anything of note for a long time. Once in a while I would begin a story or make a few drawings, but nothing that amounted to anything. I find that I have no ambition after 7pm. After a ten hour workday and dinner and maybe some housework, I'm done.
Rather than give up on my hopes and dreams, I've opted to get up at 3 am every morning to hone my drawing skills. This gives me at least a couple hours a day of practice and almost seven on each weekend day.
Although I'm already a decent artist I still have plenty of room for improvement. My intent is to start my first comic after this year of practice. I may opt to utilize the Kubert correspondence school after a bit.
I will post my drawings daily so you can view my progress.
So far...
 |
| Day One: Axe Cop |
 |
| Day Two: Warm up (not great) |
 |
| Day Two: Better. Pencil, Sharpie Pen, and Fine Point Sharpie. |
 |
| Day Three: Warm-up. Hitting my stride. |
 |
| Day Three: Happy with first attempt at texturing fur. |
 |
| Day Three: Disappointed with attempt. Over inked and dimensions are slightly off. Reattempt. |

ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to pursue something you love. Nothing is as impossible as it seems, and you're proving that with your amazing 3am art.
If something makes you GENUINELY happy, embrace it.
Never forget how it feels to fall in love over, and over, and over again.. with your art, of course.
Keep it up. Your loss of sleep brightens my day.
