Summer Update!

So I've finally graduated and have been out of school for a few weeks. However, I'm not creating a steady stream of finished work like I have been and I've posted pretty much everything I've completed to date (well everything that's worth posting haha). I don't plan on doing too many more traditional type pieces like still lifes or anything with charcoal for the rest of the summer, so I just wanted to let you know what will be coming. Right now I'm going through this video series called the "Structure of Man." It's supposed to teach you how to draw the human figure from your mind in any pose. I've gone through the first 15 or so videos so far but there's about 185 in total so I still have a long way to go. I'm going to be posting my progress as I go through these videos. I'm also hopefully going to be posting some digital stuff when I get to it. You can expect a post at least every Monday like usual, but I'm also going to try to update more often if I can, so don't be surprised if you see some extra content throughout the summer!

New Idea

This is just a little update. I had an idea that it would be cool to recommend a "Resource of the Month" on the last Wednesday of every month. I would give my thoughts on lots of different types of resources from podcasts, to art books, to materials, to artists on YouTube. I've got lots of stuff that I like to watch, read, and listen to, and I'd like to share so you guys can benefit from them too! I don't know if I'll make it for this month, because I'll be graduating from high school, and everything is going to get crazy. There will definitely be one in June though, so you can look forward to that :D

Sorry! Really busy right now

Hey everybody, I'm really sorry, but I'm really slammed with homework this week. I've got a 5-7 page research paper due Thursday, a sociology project due Wednesday, and about three more hours of English homework, so my next post is going to be a bit late. I'm hoping to get it up by Thursday, but it will definitely be up on Friday.

Update Schedule

I've decided that I want to stick to a once-a-week update schedule, so there will be a new post every Monday. With my insanely busy life as a very involved student, I think this is the best I can manage for now. Plus, it will ensure that I don't post content faster than I can create it, as most of my work right now is done in school. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to create a whole lot of art on my own time, but that will change once I get out of school, and once I've finished my all-consuming AP Studio Art and AP Calculus classes. I've also started an online animation class through my high school and would like to add these flash animations to my posts, but I still need to figure out how to format the flash file so it can be viewed on this blog. I'm using Flash 8 right now (yes my school is still in the stone age :/) and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 

Here it goes!

I've been wanting to make my own art blog for a while now, so here it is! I'll be uploading sketches to start off with. Most of them will be from school assignments, because that's pretty much all I have so far. I should probably tell you that I am a totally beginner artist, and I just took my first art class in school last year. I hope this blog will hopefully become a record of my transformation as an artist, from the very beginning, through art school, and hopefully afterwards too. I would love feedback, either positive or constructive criticism, but please don't kill me too much!
