Jack and the Beanstalk: Brainstorm Doodles

Day 17 (thought doodle #1)

Day 17 (thought doodle #2)

 Day 18 (doodle #3)

 Day 18 (doodle # 4)

Day 19 (brainstorming setup doodle)

Day 20 (set on an idea)

Current feeling about sketch: After a few days of futzing around with ghost doodling, my mind has finally managed to settle on a theme.  I was having a hard time getting in touch with the spirit of this piece, but with the bulk skeleton work setup, I'm excited to bring this piece to life with color.  I still have to figure out how to posture Jack...actually I still haven't met Jack yet, I've played around with ideas, and am closer to an image, but haven't quite made it there yet.

Day 21 (inching closer)

Lüch Füritt

Day 16

Inspiration:  My left hand just had at it, and Mr. Toad presented himself to me; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: I feel like a completely different artist with my left hand, I had no idea how much personality that side had until I injured my right hand...yes my left side isn't as controlled as my right, but I find this rebelliousness quite refreshing.

Day 15

Inspiration: Circles; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: I wonder how many snowmen have gone through my PUR water filter.

Day 15

Inspiration: I haven't the faintest idea, large scribbles led to this; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: Bang!

Left Handed Elephant

Day 14

Inspiration:  Attempt to use my left hand at drawing, I wanted to switch to my right hand again so badly, but I resisted; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: From a distance it kind of looks like a gorilla walking on its hands, hopefully my left hand improves, that would be pretty useful, in the meantime, I realized my left hand is not used to doing any sort of physical labor, my palm abs are gonna be sore tomorrow.

Bright Eyes

Day 13

Inspiration:  My nephew Landon (aka: Big Guy); Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Music played: First of the Year - Skrillex; Current feeling about sketch: Rough design, I want to keep playing around with my original drawing, also I miss Landon.

Drawing Pains

Day 12

Inspiration:  Two days ago I started getting a sharp glass-like feeling in my right hand, so I've been taking it easier on these drawings, which is very difficult for me. Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: Pretty much explains my hand pain, as a result my work has faltered, maybe this is good for helping me not be so OCD about my work all the time...patience is a virtue...and a pain.

Day 11 (Stage 1)

Inspiration: "The minute a glass of cheap Chardonnay hits her collagen-injected lips, she is minutes away from being on her back." -Chelsea Handler, My Horizontal Life; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: I had huge lips and a glass drawn out, but I'm in the process in reworking both.

Light

Day 7 (late evening)

Day 7 (late afternoon)

Inspiration: I was about to take a nap, when image of a woman trapped in a bubble/lightbulb popped into my head, so I hopped out of bed and started drawing.; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: I'm not finished yet, but I really want to nap, I feel I've captured enough from my brain to go pass out for a bit, definitely going to work on this again later.

Draining

Day 6 (evening)

Day 6 (afternoon)

Current feeling about sketch: Getting there, still not quite finished, hopefully tonight.

Day 5 (evening)

Current feeling about sketch:  You would think with all that water, the muddiness would go away.

Day 5 (early morning)

Inspiration: I watched a YouTube video a woman had posted about a plastic surgery accident, that causes her daily pain.  It was really very difficult to watch such raw emotion, I couldn't help but think about the theater, and what a superb performance that would have been had it not been a reality.  (This is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PT9k1rvH3k&feature=related)  I decided I wanted to capture that pain through art, and very quickly personal emotions and experiences began to take the piece somewhere I hadn't intended; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: Life can be so draining sometimes, and where does it even all go?  Also, I plan on meddling with this piece a bit more.

Triplets and Doodles

Day 4

Inspiration: an old doodle from last term; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current Feeling about sketch: I can't decide which eye color is my favorite, they each have their own unique appeal.  Also I've decided I like this picture better up close than far away.

Doodle I found in my notebook from last term

Another doodle I found, I sketched this around the time everyone was all hyped up about the royal wedding, grim I know, I didn't plan for it to be.

Final Stage

Replica Drawing

 Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about recreation: Not perfect, mine looks more like a Black Forest Rat than a wolf, and the pine needles look like hay, overall I feel satisfied.


Original - Boozle

Replica - Boozle

Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about recreation: I feel I spent a lot of time creating something I can't take credit for, I have no personal attachment to my efforts on this one.

Original - Flapjack

Replica - Flapjack

Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about recreation: This has been the simplest recreation I've done, yet it is also the the most inaccurate, the eyes need to slant more, mouth needs to be higher, etc.  I may fix it later, but I think it's kinda cute like this.

Day 8

Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about recreation: I'm satisfied with the object placement, but could've done better on detailing and color.  My eyes keep fuzzing up today.

Life and Death

(Early Stage-Scribbles)

Day 3

Inspiration: Midnight City by M83, my hand just etched around to the music, I didn't really think about what I was doing, everything started out as millions of scribbles, and then I watched a face begin to form. Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: Humorous in a dark kind of way, I call this one "Resisting Temptation"

Day 3

Inspiration: My pregnant sister, and a painting done by my great grandma; Medium: Photoshop using a tablet; Current feeling about sketch: I didn't plan on drawing life and death, I just let my hand go, I also experienced deja vu on my last signature attempt...I wish I could keep drawing forever.
