LILITH Our mission is to get better and grow as artists by practicing every day and posting to this blog once a week.

I haven't been posting anything lately since I moved in to the new apartment, but since I'm a lot closer to school now, I'll scan some stuff in this week.
In the meantime, enjoy this link I found on Tumblr:

Taking a break from the monsters and going back to drawing the zodiac.

Here's the annoying gif version I made of it:

I decided to do the "30 Day Monster Girl Challenge" that's going on in tumblr. I absolutely hate drawing birds (or anything with wings) so I almost stabbed myself when I saw that a harpy was the first thing on the list. Sigh. I promised myself that I would finish this challenge and draw something, even if it's gonna turn out crappy.

Meh. Practice.

Yeah, I gave up.

I felt like experimenting with my drawing style, and came up with these sketches. I tried to take a more loose, curvy, cartoony approach, and I must say I kind of like it. I want to take it further and develop a more solid style, because I actually enjoyed making these (even if they're all unfinished and random). These drawings just feel more ALIVE, whereas my other sketches look stiff and boring. Thank goodness for too much extra time during the summer! Otherwise, I would not have discovered a new way of drawing! I posted a lot more on my art tumblr: http://artistcaballz.tumblr.com/

I plan to make finished pieces next time with this newfound drawing style! I'm excited!

I bought some new Copic ink pens, so here's a couple of ink drawings. Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. I hope these make up for my lame sketches from the last post!
