Man i know I am supposed to be posting new art like everyday.
But to no avail I deliver an epic FAIL!
Im currently working on these portraits. They are digital paintings.
Trying to get better at doing that. After and during these digital paintings i shall be working on more cool shit.
Storyboards, Animatic, & other cool stuff.
And i was inspired by artist Zak Smith (no relation)
I remember seeing an exhibition of his that he drew a sketch for every page of a book that he was reading.
And I thought to myself, “Hey I think I could do that!” So once im finished with the digital paintings i will be definitely posting sketches everyday or every other day.

Yours truly, BK Dane

I have been getting better at keeping up with my drawings. I just gotta get better at posting these blogs. These sketches are based off 2 to 3 min drawings. Drawing from magazines and from people on the streets & sidewalks.

when i was trying to draw people in Times Square, people keep getting in my way. Dang people IM TRYING TO DRAW HERE! LoL! thats what i said to myself. LoL!

so im starting out with doing 2 minute sketches of photographs & my wooden model.
A lot of fails because in a 2 minute drawing I’m supposed to get the gesture of the model but instead I’m trying to get a GOOD sketch down instead of getting the gesture.
But the more i did it the better I got. I have to keep this up to get my skills back to par.
check out the drawings below!

They eyes are the windows to ones soul. That’s what people say, in
addition to may daily routine if will sometimes only do studies on
eyes. The eyes show so much expression when you incorporate the
eyebrows. It can show when your happy, sad and surprised. If you wanna
see some GREAT eye animation that shows a lot of expression you should
check out the Wallace & Gromit films. The character Gromit has no
speaking parts but when you see his expression through his face you
know what’s going on.
Here is a couple studies I did:

Eyes 1

Okay y’all know i got this daily routine going on. And i started off HORRIBLE. I didnt draw too much and I sucked major at it. I gotta get on it I dont want to loose my skills. I am major rusty. as you can see in the pics below some definite MAJOR FAILS! When better ones come out i am gonna need great critiques on my works.
The first two are TOTAL Fails and the last one I”m getting a lot better. I did just three 2 minute sketches.
Fail 1:

Fail 1

Fail 2

yay

Okay I have to change up my daily routine. I have a part time seasonal job right now, that i like its cool but not where I want to be at really. And I havent worked that many days. I would love to be at a studio or doing a BUNCH of freelance jobs. Doing storyboards or designing something. But right now just waiting to start work again. While i wait I haven’t been very productive. So i set a challenge for myself: Draw Everyday. Either it be a gesture drawing, peanut shapes, anatomy, or the human body (still life or made up), I draw it and then before the night is done post it on my blog. A page or maybe even two. Here is a sample of what it would be like:
