I broke in my new Moleskin with a piece of Saints Row 3 Art. Ok, it really could be anything but it’s vaguely based on my SR3 character. It’s been a while since I’ve just sat down and drawn something for the sake of drawing it. I doodle all the time when I’m on the phone or whatever but I don’t just draw much anymore.
I’m actually pretty satisfied with it. I need to get a better image of it though. I tried something different, instead of scanning it, I just took a high res picture with my DSLR and cropped it down. I then ran through the auto levels to fix the yellowish look it had and well, the result is the odd gradient you can see.
I wanted to put a car or something behind her but I didn’t feel like I had enough room to do it justice. Such is the limit of a medium sized notebook I suppose. Also, I suppose, the drawback of pushing to use more of the page. i used to be terrible about using a small block in the center of the page instead of all of it. I worked a bit to fix that habit.
So my son has suddenly taken up an interest in learning to draw. He’s been watching some Youtube videos and doing a pretty decent job of it. This of course, has inspired me to dig out my old art work.
