The Big, Bad Bat

Only 3 more drawings left!

I'm thinking of doing a Dragonball drawing in lieu of one of the subjects I chose. Kinda have a cool idea but we'll see where it goes.

Harley and her mallet

4 down, 4 to go.

No new drawings tonight, however; I'm studying brushes and techniques tonight since Wrestlemania 1 ate up my night. Man, was it good! WWE managed to rectify all of their issues of the past year in 4 hours...it really shows that they still know how to handle their product when it comes down to it. Now, if they can keep this momentum for the rest of this year, we'll be good.

And Seth Rollins won the championship belt! I almost feel like drawing him.

Spider-Gwen, night slinging!

Another con piece finished.

I'm feeling pretty great about all of these drawings. I was looking back at some of my old artwork and, man, it's hard to believe how much I've improved over the years. Not even 3 years ago I wasn't ready to sell my art at conventions: I simply didn't believe in myself.

Not anymore.

I'm more than ready to get myself out there and see what King Puddin can do. I'm nervous, sure, but it's all from a positive place. I'm excited to finally be a professional.

Wonder Woman, looking all bad ass.

So yeah, I tried a different coloring technique with this piece and it kinda worked but I feel I put more time into it than I should have. The hair gave me a lot of trouble, so I need to try being looser with that.

I gotta work on my business cards next, and then it's onto the next print! I'm thinking...Spider-Gwen.

Ryuko Matoi (Kill la Kill)

One drawing down.

This was surprisingly easy and surprisingly difficult in some areas, namely the hair. I gotta work more on what I want to try with coloring techniques for hair, but this was mainly because Ryuko's got two damn different colors going on. Ah well, I'm really happy with this piece.

Next drawing is going to be Wonder Woman. I have a great idea and I can't wait to sketch it out.

By the way, here's my list for prints at Interventioncon:

• Batman (Naturally)
• Ryuko Matoi (Done!)
• Wonder Woman
• Maleficent
• Attack on Titan (I've got a great/funny idea for this piece...)
• Spider-Gwen
• Sailor Moon
• Possible Tokyo Ghoul piece
• Harley Quinn (Because she's so damn popular)

These are subject to change but I'm pretty sure this is gonna be the lineup. I didn't want to do too many anime pieces but I have to try a couple. I may or may not do the Harley piece, but if I get a good idea I'm going for it.

Day 7: myself as a Katamari Damacy character

And the art jam is finished! You can check out the other artists here, and of course go like my Facebook page here.

Still waiting for my laptop. In the meantime, I'm gonna take a couple of days off from drawing...maybe, but I'll be sketching out ideas for the prints I'll be selling at Interventioncon. Man, I've got a lot of work ahead of me...

Art Jam, Day 6 - Macho Man Randy Savage

OOOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAH!

I knew exactly what I wanted to draw for this subject and I'm so glad I did it.

Why is he holding a creamer cup, you ask? Well here you go, for reference:

God, I miss that man.

Shikamaru (Naruto)

I'm really getting the hang of coloring! Only 2 more days of the Art Jam left...this took a lot longer than I thought.

Oh, and I bought my new laptop. Can't wait to start working from bed again!

Marceline the Vampire Queen

Day 4 is really late! As a matter of fact, the art jam is over but nobody ever finishes on time so I'll have my pieces up as soon as I can. Real work gets in the way of fun work...

So I've been thinking a lot about buying a refurbished laptop. I have the money at the moment and I definitely need a laptop, I just don't know if I should spend the money just because I have it. It really wouldn't cost much (about $150) but I feel like I should be an adult and save my money...

...but I'll definitely need a laptop when I go to Interventioncon.

Ok, maybe not definitely, but it would help my productivity to have a computer that's fast enough to work on. I dunno, I'm still thinking about it but I'm leaning towards yes.

La Muerte (The Book of Life)

Oh my word did I have fun drawing this piece! It was one of those rare moments when you have an idea and it comes out better than what you originally thought. I'm leveling up like crazy this art jam!

No news today. It's been snowing and raining and I've got work tomorrow so I may not be able to get the day 4 drawing out...

Day 2 of the art jam: complete!

I have to admit, I've only watched one episode of RWBY, and I didn't even finish it because I got up to eat and completely forgot about it. That being said, I really like the designs of the characters and I figured everyone would do Ruby Rose so I opted to draw one of the other main characters. I also went through about 3 poses before I fell on this one...poses can be pretty damn hard.

I'm really digging using the color palettes! I want to use them more often and hopefully I'll find the colors I'm most comfortable playing with. I've got a lot of time between now and Interventioncon, so it leaves me with plenty of ideas for art pieces. I wanna do something different than most pieces at artist's alleys, so I'll try out poses, colors, whatever I can to stand out. I've got a few ideas for pieces - I'm planning about 6-8 - and once I have them drawn I'll post them up, naturally.

I'm so excited for this year!

First day of the Art Jam is complete. Unite the Seven!

I could not think of a background for this picture! Had to look up some reference photos of the sea to get an idea and I'm glad with the end result. I also used a color palette so I didn't have to bother with the right colors for skin and hair and all that. I plan on using color palettes for each piece this art jam.

In other news, my application to sell my art at Interventioncon was accepted! I'm going to my first convention as a professional artist!

I am very, very excited.

I'm going to plan out a few pieces - some are already sketched out - and get to work right away. It feels good to have purpose with my art...for way too long I wondered what I was doing and where I was going with drawing, and now it feels like it's all coming together. Things really can only go up from here, guys.

If you guys have any ideas for pieces, let me know!
