Woman With Katana

"Woman with Katana" Here's a drawing I did back in 2012. I thought about putting "Flashback Friday" in the blog title, but I decided not to. I have ideas for some new drawings, some of which I may blog on here. Also, I may blog some old drawings in some posts. While I'm on this blog post, there was something that I thought about blogging yesterday, but I decided to wait till this post. Bobby Chiu did a journal post on deviantART about a video that Schoolism instructor Alex Woo did. It's about gesture drawing. You can check it out here . That's all for now.

Guy

"Guy" I drew this earlier this week using Bobby Chiu's arrow method. I was going to post a link to the video for it but I'm having trouble finding the video. I may put in a later blog post. Basically though, he shows to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth using arrows. I drew this picture in a 2.56 x 3.87 in The Dark Knight Rises sketchbook. It had newsprint type of paper in it. The sketchbook came with a larger sketchbook, pencils, an eraser, and a small manual pencil sharpener. The larger sketchbook also had newsprint paper in it. I recommend checking out Bobby Chiu's YouTube page here , and his Twitter page here .

Believe In Yourself

I saw an inspirational quote from, I think, Kevin Hart on Facebook. "Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will." Kevin Hart posted it. I think it's from him. I've also read a quote from Bobby Chiu that says this: "Whether they are good drawings or not, do a page of studies a day. It'll keep your skills growing. Getting ready to start an artwork, you may hesitate because you're not sure if it will end up meeting your expectations. But, I think it's a good idea to just dive right in and do your best. If you don't like how the artwork turned out. You can always redo it. It would take time to redo it, but you can work it out until you're satisfied with it. I think it also helps to get someone else's opinion on it. Artists can be their own worst critics. You may think that your art isn't quite good enough, but other people might think it's amazing.
