Sketch Pages 973 - 978

I'm participating in Inktober this year so here are some of my preliminary sketches for the past three subjects.  

I will post up the finals... on my new tumblr page... when i make it

Sketch Pages 805-813

I really love drawing animals c:

Sketch Pages 764-769

I finally whipped out my new grayscale markers and practiced drawing shape-driven characters from reference images.  I haven't had so much fun drawing in a long time!  I'd like to do this more often.  It was a nice change after making that terrible dragon. 

Sketch Pages 747-752

Worked more on the creature concept plus some random other beasties. Blogger keeps on posting picture out of order :\

Sketch Pages 694 - 700!

 FINALLY HIT 700!  FWEEEEE!! (pretend that was a noise maker).

Colored up one of my characters with Prismacolor pencils.  This took so much longer than I had anticipated.  Originally it was going to be a quick paint-over but I kinda went crazy with it.  Too bad I made the picture on crummy sketchbook paper. :\

I've been going through old sketchbooks and drawing some characters.  I realize that I need to do more life drawing so I think I'll work on that for some odd pages.  Oh and Photoshop studies, of course!  I REALLY want to reach my goal!  I only have four days left so I better hurry up!

7 out of 20 sketchbook pages

2 out of 10 colored pieces

Sketch Pages 690-692

 Some pony sketches.  Okay, maybe it's just me but I noticed after I drew the old pony on the bottom left- well, it looks like he has lil penis legs. 

moving on.

 Thinking about coloring this one, despite horrible anatomy.

And yay!  I did a page with two characters interacting!  Granted they're only sizing each other up. 

Sketch pages 653-656

 studies!

 brainstorming

Below I redrew an old character from somewhere between 2005-08.

Sketch Pages 595-603 AND a sketchbook cover

These have been sitting around for awhile..  I didn't want to post until I had something colorful to put up with it since I FINALLY made it past page 600.  Everytime I thought about doing a finished piece I psyched myself out...  This is what happens if I don't draw in a long time; I lose my confidence.  

I enjoy doing sketchbook covers, though, so I figured - why not?  The girl on the cover is from Panzer Dragoon Orta.  One of my favorite games.
