As threatened in my German posts, I started a blog about drawing-related stuff:

I'll still be posting finished artworks in my LJ anyway, so no need to worry :)

Two days, two pictures. Practicing colors and perspective stuff :)

20+ hours, Photoshop and a crappy photo ref.

I know that I'm going to hate it tomorrow. But I think I reached the point at which I should just stop and go to bed.
And no, this is not supposed to be a self portrait. That'd be so pathetic, really :D

Used a self taken photo as reference.

...which is actually quite close to my place.

I watched Avatar - The Last Airbender recently, the third season in little more than one night to be honest. And of course I became a Zuko Fangirl, so here we go for a little tribute!

I was angry with myself yesterday when I started this. I've always refused to consider myself an artist - maybe because this word, at least in German, is linked to so many things and prejudices I don't identify with. However, the progress of this picture felt rather 'artistic' to me, being somehow cathartic.



No ref used for the face (as you probably can see).

It's nearly 4 am, I'm supposed to have cake at work at 10. Time to go to bed :D

( Cut for artistic nudity D: )

Reference photo here.

Closeup

Sort of Speed Painting. Inspired by the Song "Katharsis" of Fjoergyn.
( part of the (German) lyrics )

Actually I'm not that misanthropic right now, but sometimes I sink into that mood ;)
