Drawing at the Mall

While studying figure drawing my instructor would have us go to the nearby mall and draw people. Each time we had a challenge to draw people at the food court, draw people walking, draw people on the first floor (fore shortening was the toughest), draw people on the escalators, etc. This is one of the [ READ MORE ]

Oh dear, how the time flies…

I remembered one important point of websites, especially blogs, and that is to always keep the content fresh. I’d like to say that my lack of fresh material was due to my busy time as a designer but alas, being unemployed and looking for work can lead to many distractions. I did finally planned and [ READ MORE ]

Pre-ID Days

Long before ID I got to work with a few good fellas on a project that didn’t get a chance to take off. We did do a series of comic strips for the initial idea and was about to work on a Flash animated version but then people got full-time jobs, went back to school, [ READ MORE ]

You mind is always teeming with ideas and when you’re out there, many things will visually impact you and invoke some sort of [ READ MORE ]

Bunnies

Here’s an idea. If you are stuck and don’t know what to draw, just pick something and try to do many iterations of it. Take it to many levels, push and pull to see what you end up with. Do something to the subject that you normally wouldn’t do to it. This will help you [ READ MORE ]

Random Musings

I could say I’ve been busy which is partly true after getting a second job but, for the most part I have been lazy. And, looking at the time I could be spending on doing more creative things, I end up chosing something unproductive and unrewarding. Then I go into a cycle of regret and [ READ MORE ]

Side or Profile View

I have to admit that Tomasz Migurski really reinforced this idea when he saw my sketeches. Sometimes it is better to start from a side or front view of a drawing. It makes it easier on the brain and allows us to think about and break down the components of a design. Once we are [ READ MORE ]
