weekly art challenge
limited palettes are always cool. color is an elusive beast I know not how to tame.

I could really go for some Jurassic Park, but that's probably because my sister's been visiting. And if you know nothing else of her likes, know that is her favorite movie ever. Did you know it came out 20 years ago next year? 1993! 1993! I saw that damn movie in the theater as a kid.

I'm dating myself. haha.

warmup

warmup for today.

for years we haven't had thanksgiving on the day of. it's just another day, the only celebration is the parade. my mom used to always have to work, so we'd have it the day after.
but anymore it's just a tradition to invite everyone unrelated to us and have a shindig.

therefore tomorrow is our thanksgiving. my main concern is that I don't want to cut my feet off by the end of the day. and that a particular person attends because I know me. and if they aren't there, then I'll have a cloud over my head all day.

anyhow. I hope your Thanksgiving was great and that you ate way too much and were genuinely grateful that you had that opportunity. even if you didn't get to eat a bunch of warm homemade food, remember this: pizza is always there.

Some sketches from my sketchbook.

I will probably elaborate on a few of them. Ryan Gosling's jacket....mmmm.

 I'm going to participate in this 30 day character design thing my roommate told me about.  Just...3 days late.

so here's a warmup!

I bow down to women who wear heels consistently. I don't even think I own a pair. I have some cowboy boots that I got recently. I can see the merit in the way they make you walk...

warmup sketch for the evening. I accidentally opened a document this size so I just went with it.

I want a puppy to rough house with...

Another shape warmup before I start inking. I think I just wanted to draw a pit viper. With arms. Decorated with medals.

first warmup!

I really love the idea of taking a random squiggle and making something more of it. So that's how I am warming myself up today:

Onward.
