Sometimes I put my music on shuffle
And try to draw the cover art or something inspired by it until the song ends. Whoever guesses what inspired this gets a cupcake.

faces are awesome.
But since everyone around me is beautiful (you’re welcome) I sometimes use a distort filter on a photo and then use that photo for inspiration. Then add wrinkles, moles, etc. Let’s hope the original for this one doesn’t recognize himself. :)

My first attempt for the tone and line assignment. Her gut is really odd and big in the original, and I tried to keep it true to form, but I don’t really like the heaviness of it.

Galati was a very different city. I wish I could have seen it before half of it was demolished and covered in smokestacks.

“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever. No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.
“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.
“Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea? God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

No one could say no to Albrecht Dürer and yet he said whatever he wanted, filled with a childish curiosity that made you wonder if he himself was aware of the power of his confidence. He was. He was born to be himself.
That’s what separated him from the rest.

I’ve been working on an icon set according to android style standards and trying to make it the most unique set out there at the same time. The dialer icon really trumped me. It came out okay (preview soon) but it made me wonder if there are kids using android phones today who have never used a classic phone like the one in typical dialer icons. Calling someone is much more abstract today with phones that do much more than call people and phones that all look different.
Anyway, this is a telephone cord drawing in charcoal. I’m practicing observation. It’s always easier for me when I draw with an exaggerated close up scale. I recently realized that I need to observe much better, and learn how to translate that observation into a 2d representational drawing. Drawing purely from imagination is flawed in a way, and doing this lifts up a drawing block I’ve had for years. Taking technical art classes has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time.
