Myriadian's Journey

[Myriadian]

Hey, guys and gals.
I'll try to keep this sketchbook as updated as possible. I guess a short introduction wouldn't be out of order, so here I go.

I am still a student who will be shortly leaving to go to University for the Fine Arts. I have a incredibly, undeniably strong desire to draw and create what I see in my mind. My thoughts and feelings can be quite intense and imaginative that I have a hard time fully transpiring them into art. So, in short, it is my quest to achieve self-satisfaction and competence with my artistic abilities.

When I was young, in the small grades of elementary, I drew all the time. As I grew older, my interest waned as I saw so many other great things I could do. My writing abilities grew immensely in those times, and I've seriously considered becoming a writer. Yet, this summer, my interests didn't change, but they grew back to the yearning to draw; the feeling I had back in elementary. Of course, I wasn't great in it, but I didn't let up. I continued, and I persisted. I have hopes to include all the drawings from my sketchbooks from this summer, to present day--that is, when I have the time to find them all. Hopefully, you should be able to find some progression.

Welcome to a window to my soul.

Today, I sat down at school and finally picked up a Wacom Tablet and decided to just draw. I've been waiting to try it out for a long time, and I was happy with my results. It took me about twenty to thirty minutes in Photoshop 6, and it was my very first time. I always welcome C&C.

I sat down and played around some more with the eye, expanding it out of it's focus and encompassing the bridge of the nose and an eyebrow. I don't know if I like this eye better than how it was without the sem-head around it. I would really appreciate some CC with this.

One thing that might be irking me is the perspective of the eye compared to that of the nose, and at the angle which the nose goes down the face. I might have to make it more diagonal.

nice color job so far, im having some trouble figuring out what side of the eye the nose is on, though...play with some highlights to bring out the higher bits.
