This Must Make It 101

"When I first started drawing,
It seemed like it took 100 sketches
Before I got that 1 that was perfect."

I forgot who told me that but yea, it is completely true for me

That's Not How It's Done

Such random pictures on facebook
Such nice lighting that you have
Such a bad likeness in my drawing
I'll be a failure if I don't keep practicing
Please keep talking good quality pics

Still practicing.... Not to sure if I've even stared to get the hang of it yet. gotta work'n dem' nose 'n' eyes 'n' lips. And better shading wouldn't be a bad idea.
Suggestions anyone.....?

With A Slice Of Sunshine Pie

It may seem that the receipt sketches I've been doing at Baker's during my lunch breaks have improved my skill level a bit, still not great but at least the profiles are looking better. Now if only I could think of more characters for that story.

Gummed Up, Brain Dead, And Can't Decide

No we all can't be Super fly GQ PhD FBI
You can pretend or you can try
Move ahead
Lay down dead
Or slip on by
When the truth seems so far away
Buddha loves you and Jesus saves
You need answers for your dismay
Ask yourself
Ask your mom
Ask DNA

Ask DNA - Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop)

So it seems like a today was a good day for art. Especially when you have chili cheese fries from Baker's. Then they gave 2 regular fries for free!! :O So anyway I just finished the color for it, and yes Moises I decided to go with a 30% grey instead of 10%; it was to light so I needed to make it darker. But I still like what I see.

A Cherry Bomb, Rootzilla, and Annie Palmer

Coworker: Hey Charles you can't look at this pic and not say she sexy
Me: Yea she is
Coworker: I know the chick that just left is more your style with the chest piercing. But the one in the pic is just as hot
Me: She had a chest piercing? Hm... All I saw was her big ass diamond ring
Coworker: WHAT THE FUCK!!! Are you like respectful and shit and don't look at tits
Coworker 2: Hearing shit like that really makes me think your gay Charles
Me: Oh really?..... *turns head and stares at the sky (If Danny were here he'd wanna punchin' them in the face for calling me gay. Then me for letting them call me gay)


  
Alright so some how I thought I lost this pic but I found it yesterday and decided to finish it. But somehow I feel as if there are key details missing. But I don't think I'll figure it out if I keep staring at it so take a break and on to the next one.
