I bit off a bit more than I could chew on this one. My thought was to do something really clean, and fill in a lot of space with black. Well clean lines takes a lot more time than loose lines. It’s pretty white…sorry about that. Now I know…keep it dirty :)

 
I know I know…6 days in and I already messed up my project. I suck…I realize it. I was thinking about the project I just had a lot going on with the Social Media Camp, Mashable Party, and client work it’s just been crazy busy. So with my excuses thrown out there…I’ve decided to change the rules on this project. Since I’ve already messed up my 1 sketch a day…I’m going to do 30 sketches in 30 days.  This month I’ll have my 30 sketches, but some days I’ll have to do more than one sketch to get myself to the goal number.

Oh and my pen died. Which sucks cause it was a really good pen. I had to just find one sitting around the house, and I really hate how the ink goes on the page with this pen. I’ll have to buy a new one tomorrow.

With all that said…here is sketch 7

And here is sketch 8

Today I decided to sketch my lil dog Kola. He’s a long haired chihuahua, but I didn’t have time to put in all the details of his hair. Still got the crazy big eyes he has though. Still rolling with the project…it’s actually getting fun.

What yall thank?

I keep forgetting about the project until pretty late in the day and today was no different. It’s 11:24pm, so I barely made the deadline. But without any adu, here is the sketch 5. Without an idea a portrait just comes out. So here’s another portrait.

I am thinking about how to get a ninja out of this, but thats a lot of black in 5 minutes :)

I have to say though, I do feel like I’m getting a little better with every one. Not with the sketch exactly, but just with the process of putting pen to paper and the ideas I have in my head. Seems like this project is working.

When I was in middle school and some of highschool I had these dreams of being a video game designer or a cartoon artist. So I’d always come up with random characters, monsters, weird people things. Well I thought I’d kick it old school today and play with some monsters. I can’t tell if he’s mean and angry or scared and about to cry.

What chall thank?

…and I’m a little late. It’s pretty sad…it’s only day 3 and I’m already late. I have a good excuse though, I was busy all day with work, and then I went to see the dark knight…which was AMAZING! Anyway…here is sketch 3…which is kinda a self portrait of myself. I’m gonna have to do another one of these in a few hours. I’ll try not to be late this time.

Anyway…here it is…let me know what you think. I’m gonna take Miller’s idea and video one of these and put it up. But that’s gonna have to wait til Doan gets back from florida…cause my camera doesn’t do video. Until then…late.
