 Hello everyone. I hope you had a great holiday. I was messing around on Paint.net last night and a doodle with potential arrived from my pen. So I spent a little time on it today and made a t-shirt design. I googled blank shirt templates and used that. After finishing the design on Paint.net, I reopened it on another program called Krita and basically used the blending tool and other brush types. Here it is.

 Hello helloo hellooo. How are you today? I have yet another post today. I worked from around 11:00pm to around 2-3:00am on this card for a friend. Honestly, I don't really know what possessed me to make this. These weird, Looney Toon Knock-off characters the morning after a hard Christmas party. I didn't do any shading. I wanted to keep it completely cartoony. Anyway, I hope you find it amusing.

 Hello.. hello.. hello... is there anybody in there? I have a new post for you. I've been working on this since last night. It could use some improvement and I may have rushed it a touch, but it's funny to me. I drew two activists guarding a grassy field. At first I was having them defend a robot, but I thought this would be funnier; and I could finish faster. 












P.S.: I also didn't notice the males messed-up arms until after posting.... oh well. Onto greener pastures!

 Hey all, I'm back again with another post. Back in 2015, I did a very simple, black and white portrait of Nicholas Hoult. Actor known for "Warm Bodies," various X-Men films as Beast, that film about J.R.R. Tolkein, etc. After yet another round of doodling and experimenting, I decided to re-do the old piece. It's still somewhat simple because I am only a novice at digital art, but I find that this is a vast improvement to the original. Plus, I would definitely hang this on my wall as a cool poster or something. 


I basically did a simple black outline and colored in the big parts. The big, dark part on the left side of his head wasn't supposed to be all black, but I allowed it anyway. For the background, I stacked circles on top of each other from large to small using the colors of the rainbow. Violet being largest and red being smallest and centered. Then I just messed around with background effects until it came out like this. I also colored his irises separately so they can stand out. What do you think?















Just for the hell of it, I'm including a doodle called "Rabborg"(Rabbit Cyborg). The quality is messy, the effort is lower, and it's a doodle experiment. However, I found it worth keeping and worthy of being shown.  I doodled the character, colored it, and experimented with a blurring effect for the background so that it looks blended. Also, I didn't try to make my signature symbols look nice, because this was messing around rather than actual artwork (in my opinion).

 Hello again. I'm back with yet another art post. I swear I'm going mad with this digital art thing; in a very good way. I'm noticing the gradual improvement in my quality and the increase in drawing. Best part is that my hand doesn't hurt afterwards. Anyway, I was inspired today during another doodle session. In fact, this was originally a doodle that came to life. I call him "Owlpotter." I hope you like him.

 Hello again, I'm back with another blog post. The digital drawing pad has been a really fun and frustrating experience so far. Today, I drew a special picture for my brother as a thanks and to add some cheer. A couple hours of fooling around and drawing resulted in a cartoon of Ringo Starr with a Tye Dye background and the words "Peace & Love." I am very proud of this and I know he will love it. What do you think?

 Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I received a new toy today; a digital drawing pad from my brother. I was excited to give it a try. My expectations of myself were too high in the beginning, but I got over that. It was basically relearning how to draw. After several hours of messing around, I managed to make this. My first real drawing with a digital drawing pad instead of a mouse. I clearly have a long way to go, but I'm happy. Thanks, bro! :)

 Hello everyone! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving this year; despite the need for social distancing. Now we can see how Christmas shall pan out. I've been working on individually drawing Christmas cards for various friends and family since early November. I've done 15 going on 16 hand-drawn cards and seven digital cards mostly consisting of word bubbles on a picture since drawing this often is quite taxing. I won't be showing all the cards, just the select few that I find worthy of showing. I also won't be showing the chosen cards until they are received; no spoilers. 

Luckily, I have a friend who decided to gift us with Truffles as an early Christmas present, so I sent him his card early. It's pretty much the only digital card I've put in any real effort. During my binge-viewing of the Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, I found out he and I both enjoy the show and I wanted to represent that in his card. He found it adorable and I was so happy. I hope you like it too. Tell me what you think in the comments. As for other upcoming projects, I have no plans and I'm tired, so I'll let you know if something comes up. 

I did everything on the paint.net program. I made sure to use the correct colors for each character. Aang(top), Katara(left), Sokka(right), Zuko(bottom left), and Toph(bottom right) in that order. You can see the evolution of effort as I progressed. I made them ornaments because Christmas and they're all laughing because it's supposed to be a year of merriment. The elemental symbols were NOT drawn by me. I looked them up on google, colored them white, and placed them. The boomerang symbol I did do on my own; as you can see from the difference in quality. I would have cleaned it up a bit, but the boomerang represents Sokkas character and the show establishes his lack of artistic talent. Lastly, I chose this lovely shade of blue because it's a very pleasant and soft color that fits the holiday theme. Plus the assault of red and green would not have meshed well.
