Hi all
I know. I know. I'm really really late. But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna be giving up on this sketch challenge yet. I did make up for it though. Instead of paper and pencil, I thought that I should try out my new Wacom Cintiq 13 HD tablet. It's a bit hard to get used to, since i usually don't use a tablet, but I have to say, this is actually a bit easier than drawing on pencil and paper and then taking a photo of it with my phone and adding it to the blog. Plus I figured that this might be more clear for everybody to see the sketches. Anyways, here's the images. First one is a drawing of a young woman. I've added a couple of light shadows. I probably should've gotten in more details though. Then again, that's probably something I need in all my drawings. Heh. The second drawing is a bird's eye view of a chipmunk. I thought I'd give this a shot since I never really practice this technique much when drawing objects in a birds eye view. Not bad, but I guess it could use a bit more work. Next drawing is an image of a snake and a horse. I drew this as a way of the snake passing the Chinese new year lantern to the horse, since the horse is Chinese zodiac animal of 2014. Heh. Gung Hay Fat Choy! Heh. I got lazy when it came to the legs of the horse though, but you probably noticed that already. Heh. Anyways, started to run out of ideas for drawings since part of the challenge was to make an extra sketch for a week that I missed. So I drew a cat playing with a tassel, or to some yarn strings. Next, since I'm technically year of the rat (because even though I was born on the year of the ox, I was born before the animal changed, which was year of the rat), I drew a picture of a rat eating a rice cracker sitting next to a fortune cookie.I was going to write something on top like "Happy Chinese New Year!" or something, but i got lazy and moved on to the next drawing since I had 4 more to go...Ah well. The next sketch is a Chinese lion Dancing costume. I thought this might've been a good challenge since i usually don't really draw objects with too many details like those costumes. Well, now I know that I'm capable of drawing it. Heh. Alright, it might not be as good as it should, but I'm ok with it. Heh. The next 2 drawings has a boy and a girl in horse costumes. The boy holds the scroll that says horse in Chinese, while the girl has a sparkler in her hand as she watches the fireworks. Alright, maybe it wasn't a good example to have a child holding a sparkler, but if it makes you feel better, I was originally going to have the boy hold firecrackers. Heh. Anyways, The last drawing is a picture of a fish jumping out of the water. I've previously drawn a fish similar to this, but I thought that it was time for the fish to have a makeover. Heh. Ah well. Enjoy!
