Art over the holidays

So the holidays came, and I didn't draw for the first week or so at all. And realized I was getting really horrible at drawing because of it. So then I guilted myself into trying to draw all the time. of the sketches below, probably half were done since the weekend, and I'm not gonna dig up the ones I do on scrap pads laying around. Oh, and they were all uploaded from my cell camera, cause I haven't busted open the sweet printer/scanner combo I got for X-mas, I'm gonna bring to Oakville with me :D!

I started sketching what I watched on TV. bit of mythbusters, little hell's kitchen. All of the drawings below are done in under 5 min. I don't like drawing slow for details, unless I do it as a learning excercise.

I've also been playing around a bit with character design. Especially working on eyes, and jawlines. Instead of doing pure monsters like I usually do, I tried to do some human characters, but some old favorites always drop in. (And my sleeping father, lol)

I couldn't resist drawing my brother, his hair is ridiculous in real life. and I thought I'd get myself some reference so I can animate him or something when I'm in school. Oh and there's that girl from Atlantis on that page, and a drawing of Scarlett johanson in the bottom right of the pic above.

Final segment of this post, are just some concept sketches of decorating a toy I did for a friend. I worked on it through one long night, just using felt markers. to produce the final product below.

Now I think my service to those who are nice enough to read this thing is done. I have a bones of the human body to study for. I got all the names of parts memorized, I just have to be able to draw them all now, still got 2 weeks or so to master that though.
