Jack Sullivan's idiot collection

[JackHatesJack]

So I've decided I hate where I am as an artist and want to improve fast, so on top of whatever other work I've been planning to do over the summer I'm now adding the 100 theme drawing challenge that went around dA like 4 years ago, because I am clearly a 15 year old anime fanartist. For those of you that have lives, the list looks like this. (http://www.metaphorical.com.au/wordpress/?p=92)
I'll be uploading the sketches every 5 themes I finish, out of each set of 5 I'd like you to pick one that I should bring to completion so at the end I'll hopefully have a nice set of 20 finished pieces.

PS-I expect and hope you'll tear me and my artwork apart.

Note: For each theme I looked up an appropriate quote/lyric to base the drawing on.

1. Introduction

Quote: "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."-Nicolo Machiavelli

2. Love (I wish I'd had a triangle on me at the time)

3. Light

Quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.”-Marianne Williamson

4. Darkness (I'm really not happy with anything on this, as a finish the background would be flat black, originally intended to be dotted with giant frightened eyes a la http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/JackrabbitJackrabbit/724e722c141d30b748ddb11fee827aa7fd3.gif )

Quote: "To rid ourselves of our shadows - who we are - we must step into either total light or total darkness”-Jeremy Preston

5. Seeking Solace (okay, so originally this guy had a giant cat head, but I didn't like how it turned out. I'd like for him to have a head but I'm not sure what to do for it, so he's unintentionally headless, and that arm is so wrong it hurts)

If you spent as much time drawing these as it took for your post to show up from the time you submitted it, I bet they'd look a lot better.


On the other hand, the semi erased ghost cat head is really nice.

Nice first post, dick.

Nice first post, dick.

Thanks, but for future reference I prefer Richard.


But seriously Jack, I think you're overworking/thinking these if they're just sketches.
