Forcing Myself To Draw 9

I keep talking about drawing again and I just don't and it makes no sense. Its a free hobby I can do anywhere. I drew Tabitha again because she is my "where are your skills at?" test. Inking was a little harder and getting my hands back to that level of steady. I still use the stippling technique for shading I learned when I was 11 from my art teacher Laurie Lombardi.

 I drew a picture of Tabitha last week. Out of all the hobbies I have this is the one that tends to suffer because I do it so infrequently. Once I start it is complete pretty quickly. I just end up drawing the same characters over and over again and not creating any new ones.

Out of all the hobbies I have like writing, making songs, random painting, Perler bead making, using Pixlr, and podcasting, drawing is the one I do the least of. I tend to forget that it is something I used to do exclusively and it fell to the wayside as the years went by. For weeks I have had my drawing board near my bed in case I felt the urge to do something and last night it hit me while listening to podcasts. This is Tabitha who continues to be my barometer for drawing. With her I can see what has changed with my art or what needs to be done better. There is an artist Erra The Creator that does art that is cool as hell that inspired me to draw something. A lot of her stuff is proof that you do not need to cover art with shading or even faces sometimes for it to look amazing.

I finished a drawing this morning of one of my favorite characters Tabitha. I wanna try drawing a comic book character tonight.

Tabitha Drawing

I did this drawing of my character Tabitha today. I've had her since high school. I almost always draw her first when I start drawing again.

Tabitha

This is a character that I created back in high school named Tabitha. I had not drawn her since 2013 and in that time she has actually aged. Its something that happens with my characters but has not happened in a while. I decided not to use the thick outline style that I have done so many times with her and others and I liked the way it came out.

I Still Draw?

I forget sometimes that I draw with the other stuff I focus on. Well, my internet was out at home and I decided last week to start drawing weekly and updating old characters. This is one of the ones I've had since high school named Tabitha.
