Gesture Practice (and Others)

So today and Wednesday, I did a lot of drawing practice. I wanted to show it here, because I like it. The picture above is some gestural/form drawings I did after watching the first part of a few videos to see if there was any concrete advice they could give that I hadn't heard before. It was good stuff, but I got tired of focused self-improvement, so I did the next two drawings afterwards as something fun. 

The above picture is fan art for the Slugcat in the indie game Rain World. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to play the game myself because it costs money. But Rain World first appeared on my radar in a video which broke down how they used physics simulation for the animations to give the Slugcat and other animals a unique feel and controls. Cool stuff. Anyway, this image was done without reference.

This next picture (above) is a product of a bunch of different stuff. The gestural drawing practice, practicing Disney faces, an image in my head, etc. It's got a few mistakes in it, but I'm satisfied with it for the amount of work. 

The remaining pictures are all from Wednesday. Lots of different sketchy stuff- most of it just for fun. They're in reverse order of when I drew them except for a couple.

The above picture is fan art for the Sarah Andersen webcomic series Fangs. It got published in a book. We actually have a copy at the library I work at. Anyway, this drawing was done with just a memory of  the original, which is why it looks... less good. It's a great series, though it does handle some adult themes so be aware of that.

The above is one of three drawings I made of this character "Fuzzy" Bellman. I only liked this drawing enough to put it on here. Fuzzy is a character from a personal comic I'm writing called "the Exceptionals." It's a comic I only write when I'm angry, so that says something about it's content. Basically, I wanted to take some of the most messed-up people I could think of, give them unconventional powers, and see what they did with them. Fuzzy's power is "Rarity Manipulation." She can alter how much of a certain kind of object there is in the world (and possibly the universe).

 

 The above picture has drawings of different face explorations. Three of them are based on Brennan Lee Mulligan, the author of the webcomic series Strong Female Protagonist, which is the best webcomic I've ever read, and possibly the best comic. It deals with the philosophical implications of superpowers in a realistic world through the perspective of one very complex character. It's like it was made just for me. Anyway, these next three drawings are of the main character of SFP. Her name is Alison Green, and when I draw her in my style she coincidentally looks like some drawings I did of Supergirl: 8th Grade Superhero a little while ago, which is funny to me.

These last two pictures are simple character drawings I did in different styles to see if I could.

 God is good. It's almost the end of summer. I've done some good work. I've improved a bit. God has kept me and the people around me safe. God protect me. I love you. God's will be done.
