Day 3

I got a little behind on posting the past few days, already. So here is the first day from the weekend. I really did 3 over the course of 3 days rather than 1 per day. This is from Saturday. I just did some coloring on an old drawing of mine. I like how it came out but it seems like I could get better at this still. Of course, there is always room for improvement.

The coloring reminds me of a worm, snake or newt, it kind of has a mother of pearl feel to it, which I like.

Day 2

My second effort. Not sure what I was doing today, just kind of a doodle but I kind of like how it came out. Nothing fancy but it doesn't really need to be.

DAy 1 - Starting off right or starting off, right?

Here is my first drawing, I am just learning to use my tablet so it's just a sketch. I also had Christmas choir practice tonight at church so I got a bit of a late start. Enjoy!

I'm hoping in the future, I might be able to turn this into something more, if so I will definitely post it here...

It Begins

I am setting off on a year long goal toward becoming a better artist, this idea was inspired by another blog I found online. Even today just announcing my intention, I feel resistance to even starting this but it's too late now :)

to that end I'm going to do be creating some piece of art everyday, even if it's just a sketch or practice. I want to improve my art exponentially in 365 days, mainly for a graphic novel that a friend and I are working on.

I've been putting this off for too long now and even though it's not quite the New Year, I want to get a head start on making things happen. I'm a Christian and not a buddhist, but there's a quote from Buddha that I really like, it goes:

"There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting." - Buddha

So today I resolve to take the first step and avoid the first mistake. I would like to ask the help of the community in avoiding the second one. I'm committed to breaking the cycle of not finishing things I start from this day forward.

Tune in tomorrow for Day 1 of my journey and my first creation.
