Pepper Project

Well here it is! The Pepper Project is now done! You can read the full description at my deviant art page here: http://ladmaticca.deviantart.com/art/Pepper-at-Dawn-78453813

Move Out

I wanna move out. I want to be where there are more like me (artistically minded) and more opportunities in art. My biggest problem with it is my lack of funds. I can transfer anywhere with my current job but that won't be enough for me to support myself. It would be wonderful if I could have a roommate. That would get me over the hump. Anyone out there looking for a roomie, lol? Anyways here's a sketch I did today..err yesterday now. I love portraiture type pieces so that's my reasoning for this one. Plus, I was really looking for an excuse to work on anything other than that Pepper project eeeek! The Pepper project is actually coming along good now after many revisions. Maybe I can have it done tomorrow for posting. Peace.

Red Dress

I've got a sketch for you today! I started on it immediately after watching one of Jason Chan's tutorial videos. I did take a slight different than normal. I'm really happy with some parts others not so much but not bad for no reference.

Andrea Portrait

Hi there. After a number of bad portraits without reference, I decided I'd redeem myself by doing one from photo reference. Ahhh much better! I hope to one day draw more believable, made-up people. The final result doesn't resemble the model exactly but I still like it.

More Artist Downs

Thanks for reading. I've been feeling down and inspired about my art lately. Down, because those old feelings of confusion (Do I really want to do this?) keep surfacing. Happens mostly when I'm doing a sketch and it looks bad. Other times it's when I look at my work and think, "no one would really buy this. I'm not marketable." But aside from all that I've been inspired because I've finally started receiving issues of Imagine FX magazine!! These things are loaded with different artists and tips and tricks and insights. So as soon as I feel down I'm up again after looking at one of these. Anyway I do have an image. Just a sketch. I'm still thinking of something to do for a valentines themed piece and the Pepper project is still in the works. I pray that one day I figure all this out and find my direction in life.
