lots of drawings to upload today :)
i've kinda been trying to do a sketch card everyday, its kinda working only missed 4 days so far but i have made up for that with the 5 cards in one day and 2 cards in another. hopefully i'll get better and better at it over time. been concentrating on faces and expressions because i need to get eyes level and improve my expression drawing. the first 4 where done before the commander shepard sketch card in the last post ( a month or two before actually) and the rest where drawn afterwards. slowly working through the 4 packs of sketch cards i bought... not sure where i'm gonna get more from once i run out... the art shop i got them from closed down. we shall see.
the first set are drawn from magazine picture, my imagination and stock photos on the internet. do not like the guy on the second row, his hair and mouth look weird.
the next two batches are avatar fanart well aang fan art since there all of him... cool show finally got round to seeing it on dvd (since i didnt have a tv when it was relesed) it was awsome... i know its a kids show but i've always had a soft spot for kids shows... i wish i had rthe kids channels on sky. but anyway these are drawn from the show, from memory and even useing a tutorial to understand facial expressions. copying can be useful occassionally but its best not to relay it on it as the only way of learning drawing. my favroite is is the worried looking one with hair, makes me think of the nightmeres and daydreams eposoid... no refs used for that one :)
i also entered the IFX forumites club's cover competition for there quarterly magazine (forumites is a club over on DA) busted this out in a week, so pleased with my self... wont know till the magazine comes out in September if I won or not but it was fun to enter :) this piece is availiable for print on my DA account

i'm about to start painting my Luna/Selene painting... currently waiting for my masking fluid to dry should be fun :)
been also thinking a lot recently about my old film making days. i think i could do story boarding. i enjoyed the story boarding module a lot and was regarded as quite talented at it by my tutors... shame my writing abilities let me down, the quality of my bored really wanted to make them mark me up for them but no... drawing skill is not one of the criteria. but anyway its something to think about. i'm going to do some mock storyboards and see whether its viable or not. people keep suggesting it also so its something to consider.
anyway happy drawing/writing/whaterver you guys do
