The Princess and the Sorcerer - New Work in Progress

This is the first sketch for a series of paintings that I have in mind, and written down :P. I don't think that this one will be the first painting in the series, and I want to do some more research on some more painters. I am still working on my painting skills and I am currently looking closely at Hogarth who I am looking at for his Marriage a la Mode paintings. I think that when I finish my sketches and start painting I will have a greater idea of how my end plan will turn out like.
But here is my first sketch, featuring my Princess and her admirer, who is her fathers' aid, who is also my Sorcerer.
I did not want my story to be like some Disney fairy tale, so I did not want my Princess to hate him. I tried my best to have her turn away not knowing what to do rather than to turn away in disgust. I think I drew her face the way I hoped. Anywho, this being a sketch and the first one drawn so far it will probably with no doubt change.

Work for Alternate Drawing

This is a second drawing I did for a project for my Alternate Drawing class, the first one I did I was not happy with at all. That is why I drew this one and I'm quite happy with my linework and the composition for it :).
It's black marker on cardboard, it does not cover the whole space but I do like the composition of this picture as it is.

Misc Life Drawings

Just a bunch of drawings/sketches from Life Drawing. Took them all with my camera and they are made with various media.

I liked the result of my expressive play last night that I've decided to draw more faces along the same style ^^. This is one that I just drew today during my break. I don't know exactly what I feel about this piece, I think it's at a finished state but I don't know exactly what it makes me feel. I was sort of drawing this one unconsciously as I was waiting for my tutorial.

Expressive Markmaking

Drew this on my lap while watching A New Hope ^^. I felt like drawing with my markers that I just picked up my little A5 sketch journal and started drawing quickly with my mechanical pencil. I didn't like the first figure that I drew because I thought it to be too small for marker work, and that is why I drew the bigger figure on the edge to be able to work the markers over the skin of the face and hair.
I quite like the effect of this quick work. What I've learned from my life drawing classes has greatly improved my drawings. I particularly like how her face turned out with the marks from the marker for the shadows and the pen over the top and pencil underneath.
This post is to make up for my lack of posting this week :<, the batteries in my camera ran out and it takes AGES to recharge them. So I have not been able to take some pictures of my work this week. I've only got this one up because it's on such small paper.

Work from Life Drawing

Here are some of my drawings from my most recent Life Drawing classes.
The nude is from the week previous to this current week, we had a review that session so the drawing was almost free choice. I personally wish I had more time on this picture, I wanted to fix that arm (which I didn't see what was quite wrong until almost the end of the session) so the arm is a bit too short :<. I do like the rest of it though, and I really like the effect you can get by rubbing back into the charcoal with the putty eraser ^^.These hands and feet were from my last Life Drawing class, and I have to add, I really hate drawing the skeleton :<. It's just quite annoying and it kind of hurts the eyes to try and see if that blur right there is another bone behind the one in front or if your eyes are just playing tricks on you lol. Anywho, even if I didn't enjoy drawing the skeleton I like how the skeleton's hands came out in my drawing. I had 30 minutes for this drawing so there would be a lot of inaccuracies if I went looking for them.
These feet are not that bad I suppose, the one in the centre I am a bit unhappy about because I ran out of time for it :<, I had wanted to go over it with compressed but there was no time.
With these hands, I sort of like them, I like the one on the bottom more than the top, but with the feet I ran out of time on this :<. Life Drawing classes need to run for longer! I just wish I had more time on this to work back into the hand on the top and to draw the rest of the arms to give the hands a context.

First Post! Yipee!

Hey there,
My name is Wunlee and I will use this Blogspot to post my art.
In my practice I enjoy to use charcoal, pencils and my digital tablet on this I use Paint Tool SAI to draw with.
I love cartoons and comic books and I commonly draw some of my favourite cartoon characters. As well as cartoons and comics I love nature, I do happen to enjoy still life. There is just something about a still life that I enjoy drawing.
At present my most favourite way of drawing is putting white onto black, something which I had discovered I enjoyed drawing my Life Drawing class and I have continually used it in my own personal work for my personal improvement or the subject has some sort of reason for being inside my mind.

For my first post of my first blog I'll post up the first image in my Tonal Series, it is one of the villains from the cartoon, Digimon Adventure, Vandemon or Myotismon. I grew up watching Digimon every day before school and Vandemon has always been my favourite.
