2011 In Review. // ATC, MLP, and Ferrets!

Art summary for 2011!  I think this year I really improved on humans the most, but also anatomy....I hope...

Also, references for Emma's ferrets, Amanda (left) and Rosalie (right).  Rosalie's usually just called Rosie.

Also, Merriweather MLP.  His design just follows his donkey sona.  Drawing the guys was more fun than I expected....

Carlos butt ACEO  Because I love drawing her.  I also love iridescent/pearlescent mediums.

Martha sketches. I can't remember if I posed these, but they're up now....Her ref's about half done, maybe more.

 And finally, colored version of a sketch commission for my friend Clockworkgh0st, decided to dress it up for Christmas...not done yet, I don't have my paper with me so I couldn't finish it how I wanted to.  Also unhappy with the ribbon.  But otherwise, glad I inked and colored it, it was a good challenge. 

2010 Year in Review

From this: 

to this: 

I'd say that's a pretty good year of improvement.  Biggest difference?  Better anatomy by far, especially with legs and hands hips.  A lot more background work, a lot of ATCs, and a lot of media experimentation and learning, specifically with markers but with paint, ink...hell, even pencil, I learned some new stuff.  

Also...almost no Bailey this whole year.  I only did one piece of him and it was early on in the year.  It was a small piece.  He's only appeared in small things, and only twice, and one of them wasn't finished.  The other times were margin doodles in notes, and at that, VERY rarely.

All the art above is mine 100% except for in September, that was a collaboration with Sophie--she sketched, I did everything else--learned a lot from that piece.  May was drawn for Clockworkgh0st (she has a tumblr, flickr, LJ, dA, and FA all under that name--see them, her work is FAB) but it was linework for a collaboration and featured Lancelot and her rat character.  It was some of the best inkwork I've ever done, hence, showing it off.  December is of course Sophie's character, co-designed and drawn 100% by yours truly.  

A lot of Dan and Lance this year!  And Carlos too, but not as much as Lance/Emilie and Dan.  They're fun to draw.
