New Tools

So I picked up two new markers and some paper the other day for this doxy dash in May that I am suppose to do caricatures at. Ive never used these brand of markers before yesterday but I love them now. Think I'm sticking with these. Very smooth and they have a wide range of line width capabilities. I also picked up this Pen drawing paper. Its very smooth and thick, not as thick as bristle board but almost. Took the two out for a spin and couldn't stop till I filled the hole page :-).

 

out with the old in with the new

I finally completed one of my many sketch books lying around...its a little beet up and worn as you can kinda see on the left... on the right is the first drawing of my new sketchbook I started tonight. The first sketch is always the hardest for me idk why....this is what I started with though.....

Overwhelming Journey

Every now and then I get a little overwhelmed when I look at all the artists I like and how creative their ideas are or how they execute their pieces. And yet on the other hand I get very inspired and I want to make more things and get better. I've herd that artist take years to develop their skills and talents and that it should be a fun wonderful learning experience. Today is one of those days though where I made it to the top of a hill and before I could jump with joy at my accomplishment I notice the mountain range ahead of me and sink. Like my dad always said though just gotta keep going one foot in front of the other....
