Day 48: A Puppy!

I knew there would have to be a puppy. Everyone knows you can't have a good farm scene without a puppy. I tried to make sure this puppy had a few, very important, features:

1. He had his head up in the air. Every puppy I've known had a habit of throwing his head in the air when he was playing a game.

2. He had to have a long tail. Dogs are cute no matter what, but I love the long tails.

3. He had to have his tongue sticking out. What dog doesn't have his tongue sticking out?

Without further ado:

So, how did I do? I think I struggled with this one the most, because I really wanted this to look good.

I'd love to have a dog myself. Unfortunately, I don't have a big yard or the time to take care of one. Hopefully in the future I'll get one. My husband thinks he prefers cats, but that's just silly.

I've also updated my personal information. I've also signed up on Technorati. Apparently my blog is 27846th. Yay me!

Edit: Oh, I forgot! My husband got his bonus recently so I will soon be getting a new computer! I want to run out right away and buy one. I'll be a good girl and do my research. Weeeeeee doggies!

Day 43.5: Olympics, Hard Drive Failure, Mouth Aches... Oh My!

So I'm really late posting tonight because because because. Anyway I was at the in-laws watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. Not really my thing, but hey it's family time, so it was fun.

Earlier today my computer crashed hard. My poor little computer couldn't open Photoshop and any image (this includes the 26k files...oiy!). I rebooted and got a hard drive error message... so reboot again and kept getting error messages from Goback. Turns out that when my computer has a hard drive failure it removes my primary drive and replaces it with nothingness. In any case I got it up and running just before I left to go to the in-laws. In any case I'm behind once again, but I realized it before it got too obnoxious. Here is a collection
of images from weeks five and six:

So right now I'm behind one daily image (not so bad) and behind 3 illustrations (a little worse). I plan on doing  two illustrations tomorrow. I blame my teeth for the single late image. It's not an excuse, it's a terrible tragedy!  Oh fine, whatever. I've failed staying on schedule for everything else, so I might as well keep my failures well rounded so everything stays even. 

In any case I think I'll have time to make a base sketch for my third illustration tomorrow. I'm also going to try to get an idea what other images I need to create to finish my portfolio. Wish me luck!

Day 31 Already?

I'm not sure what happened, but I've completely lost track of time. I have been sick lately, but I just realized that I haven't posted sketches for 2 weeks now. I have been working on drawings, though and wanted to share:

From this point on my sketches will be slightly different, and hopefully posted more often.

Day 18.5 Catching up

Here is the Lady Bug Illustration that I just finished inking. I want to post the Spider & Fly illustration, but I'm having trouble opening it.

Annnd really late are my sketches. It wasn't so much that I didn't have them done as it was that I didn't have them all in the computer.

On the upper right you'll see a bird. I am now running out of my drawing paper so he got stuck being drawn over an old drawing. And in the bottom right... I'm not sure what the penguin is going to do with my futon, but I guess some things are better left unexplored. I still have a ways to go to be caught up completely, but I'm getting there!

Day 8: End of Week 1 + 1 Day

I haven't been able to get to the computer over the last few days, but I thought now would be a good time to give a summary of what's going on for me right now.
Here are my last two drawings:

The latter is really a part of week 2. The former I plan on finishing in colour sometime in the future. Here is a collection of all the sketches I did from this past week:

I will be posting some skeches tomorrow for the bi-weekly illustration I'm working on. I'm going to switch up my sketches so they reflect my illustration style rather than just sketches from things around me. I'll be using more photos for references, and my drawings will be more like my illustrations. I think I'll be working against myself if I don't make this change now. I have a lot of things to think about, so I'm going to call it a night.
