All day drawing

Blogger sucks with arranging pictures.
I spent all day drawing yesterday, literally. I woke up at about eleven and started with the perspective drawings I had to do for class, then went on to my tablet for photostop work. Didn't stop drawing til about nine, ten at night.







The first is a speedpaint of a hunter from l4d.. very close up. It started from the picture next to it, in the middle, which was intended to be a sketch for a future piece I plan on doing for the game. When it'll be done, I dont know. The third picture was the first I did when photoshop was opened, and I think it was my best of the day.

Off to do more research for class now.

Started uni, busybusy

Wow, I suck at updating this, dont I?

Quick post to put up a bunch of very quick sketches. I'm also going to try and do a doodle/sketch a day for as long as i can. Sometimes it'll be done on the computer, sometimes on paper.

Also, some WIP shots of much, bigger, works. Proper, I guess XD I also suck at explaining things.
One is of one of my many characters, this one being Ella. The other is another stab at a realistic painting.
I'm done :]

Quick update

HeyHey

I have been sketching in my sketchbook a lot recently, rather than do bits on photoshop, so when I can scan them in, I'll put them up here.
I visited an animal park with my mum yesterday, lovely place, beautiful gardens, sweet animals. There were a lot of kids around so sketching directly would have been a little difficult, so instead I took many pictures which I plan to sketch from. Especially of the cow. My god she was beautiful and so adorable. A Jersey cow called Millie has now become the subject of many sketches and photos. :]
We also sat down and I had time to sketch the views of the lake with watercolour. Quickly of course, but still good for practice.
They'll be up soon.

More Sketches, OTL

So, as you can see, another update. I also edited the banner up the top to make it neater. I'll work on the rest of the layout later. For now, some concepts and WIP's.

First off, the concept. I just came up with this on a whim really, I'll take it further when I'm done with everything else on my long list. Oh god, it's so long.

Next is a WIP, I've been working on it for a while, first on paper, then i decided to try it on photoshop, which i think was a good idea. I'm working on the pose as you can probably see, it's a little off at the moment. From what I can see the hands are too left of body, and I think she's wonky too. o.o; The moon however I'm liking, and the whole concept of it I love, stardust. Basically, she'll be blowing stars into the sky.


Thats all for now, I have more but not many are saved since, well, I'm lazy with WIP shots. Heh.

Sketches 01

I suck at coming up with good names, ha.

Thought I should get the journal started so here you go. I dont know if this sketch will go anywhere, I want it to, since its a pose and concept I like, but eh, maybe i'll play with it a little more til it looks right. :]

Welcome post

So this is a welcome post and a test one, to make sure it all looks right.

Fishing for stars (aka Pisces) is a new space for me to post all my art, rough or finished. My deviantart is just going to be a place for my best finished art as I dont want to spam people with pages of me practising figure drawings.
The name was inspired by my star sign and my current gaia avatar as she looks as if she could be fishing for stars. For that reason is it also the name of my art shop on the previous mentioned website. I hope to keep this name for future purposes too, mostly a website.
I started this blog because I want a place to store my art where I can look at the improvement, also I believe I need somewhere more professional to take RL commisions. That'll be set up at a later date, when my art is better.

Love.
