Night Class: Nancy

Hey there boys and girls! Time for another spotlight, this time on Nancy, the Ceramics teacher.

Nancy started out as a doodle I made a number of years back. This is the very first full body picture I did of her, actually. I was just plowing my way through a series of characters, trying to fall in love with one, to no avail. For a long time, I gave up, and put everything away in a folder.

However, while I was trying to develop night class, I took a look through the folder again. The only character I pulled from it was Nancy, who was then named Carol. It's most likely the weird style I drew her in, but I had to have her in Night Class, one way or another. So, a few redo's later, I came up with this:

Very few changes to be sure, but a couple were made. For one, she has a tail. I changed the chest to not be so angular and abstract looking, and gave her closer to an anatomically correct body. I kept the elongated neck and sharp fingers though, to still give the appearance of her being a monster of some sort, though it's not entirely apparent at first.

Originally, she was going to be the swamp creature, but I wasn't entirely sold on the idea, so I went through my backlog of monsters, and settled on Gorgon. I'm putting my own little spin on the idea of it, so that she'll be allowed to teach, but I think that you'll all like her nonetheless. And of course, teach what you know: Nancy is the ceramics teacher.

Enjoy!

Cause I felt like it. *shrug*

Sketches from Work 4

Last work sketch that was requested of me. This one was from James, who requested "His dog thumbing it's nose at chicken meatloaf". I wasn't really sure thumbing it's nose would get the point across, so I tried to do something a little differently:

It's midnight on a Sunday night, and I think it's funny. So sue me!

This has been fun, and I'd like to do more work sketches, if possible. If you have a suggestion, feel free to request it of me!

Talk to you all soon!

Todays sketch comes courtesy of Max! He requested "Darth Vader being attacked by a shark":

Did the best I could with what I had, Max.

Sketches from Work 2

Hello again everyone! Day 2 brings us a request from Nate, who wanted "a racoon buying a New Yorker, while wearing a sherlock holmes hat and pipe":

I tried my best Nate.

Two more to go!

Sketches from Work 1

Hey there everyone! So, I've been in a little bit of a slump as of late, as I'm sure most of you could tell with the terrible and altogether terrifying drawings that I've made. So, today I work, I put out a request for 5 sketches to make. I'm hoping that this will jumpstart my creativity. And you reap the rewards!

The first comes from Vince, who wanted a man laden in Victorian garb, drinking tea, and firing a flintock pistol:

Fable 2 much? :D

The next one comes from Eric, who requested a "badass undead dragon":
Dragons are cool, and the Fonz is the most badass person I know. It was only natural to mix the two.

Anyhow, I hope to post up at least 2 more tomorrow, but the next in line is something that I'm actually kind of excited to draw, if I can get it right. We'll see!

Talk to you all soon!

Oh god

A man broke in and started drawing. I tried to stop him, but he punched me right in the teeth.

More random drawings.

I don't know what happened.

Hey guys! Second lesson happened here not but 10 minutes ago, so I figured I'd post up the reference I made while I was teaching.

He also asked about my coloring, so I I dropped a couple of watercolor-ish colors on it real quick:

Overall successful lesson, I think. Maybe he'll be comfortable with me posting a couple of his pictures in the future!

Tomorrow is up in the air, so I'll probably get SOMETHING drawn. We'll see how it goes.

Talk to you soon!

Hey there guys! A friend of mine asked me to start teaching him how to draw a bit, and so I decided to start giving him lessons. Problem is, he wants to learn to do anime, which I'm not entirely great at. But that's never stopped me! Above are the two examples I used in a 2 hour lesson last Tuesday night. I hope to do the next lesson by the time he gets back, but we'll see.

In the meantime, work is going to be starting for me on Monday, and I'm doing a workout regimine for the next 90 days to get myself into better shape (which is any shape). But I'm still going to make time for my drawing. I might just have trouble holding the pencil up, is all. But hey, that's what teeth are for, right?

Also, if you ever have any requests for me on what I should draw, comment on the posts. I won't do everything, but if your request is particularly interesting to me, or I just happen to have free time, I'll try my best.

Thanks, as always!
