Things I Am Not Good At

This one might not fall under the challenge entirely. It's more like "here's two things I don't normally do/aren't that good at". Namely, lots of colors that aren't gray, and attractive women. (Most women I draw without reference tend to turn out looking a weird ambiguous age, or just plain masculine).

I guess I should make another for something I actively don't like drawing. Possibly feet and shoes, which could be made fun somehow.

Back in Action

Now I remember why I made this a sketch blog, and not a bloody finished image blog. I'm still working on that piece, and will post it eventually, but finished work takes me forever. Expect it to be posted just before the end of days.
Anyway, moving on. Another sketch week! Try drawing something, anything you like really, that incorporates an element you really really hate to draw. Try and mix one of your favorite things to draw in there with it, to make it less terrible. I for example hate drawing rocks, or anything textured really, and clothing, particularly drapey things. I like drawing the human figure, also robots. How will I ever incorporate elements I love and others I hate?

Finish Something - Alchemist

Still not sure if I'd call this completely finished. I could rethink the whole composition and add background and foreground elements, spare limbs, wiring, an alembic, calcinator, etc, but I've procrastinated enough for now.

Week 9- Finish something

I'll be busy the next couple weeks, preparing to move back up to Tallahassee, so I'm going to propose another of my total cop-out topics. I say we go back to one of the sketches we've done, on that shows extra potential, and try and work it up to a new level of completion and polish.

Mount - Carrion Rider

This is kind of a rehash of an older image from 2004. I'd liked the idea of a sort of scavenger cleanup crew picking over a battlefield riding giant flightless vultures. The older version had bird "arms", giving it a vaguely praying mantis/hydralisk look.

Mount

This was a lot of fun to work on. I may even color it, if you can believe that.

Week 8- Mounts

I somehow feel that's it's kind of cheating to make a sketch topic something that I've done an entire series of drawings based on, but I do love it so.
Draw one thing using another thing as means of transportation. Have fun with it.
