Bad Artist Draws 1

Okay, so I'm in school, which means that I'm bored... all the time. Now I'm studying Graphic Design and Media as of right now, I say that because my current major is always subject to change. The reason why I doubt that I've chosen the right degree is mostly because my artistic skills aren't exactly top rate. When I really try--and I mean really try, I can usually produce something pretty interesting, meaning that I can get a basic idea across to my audience, which I guess is the whole point of art in the first place. Anyway, despite the fact that I'm no Gustave Dore, I still like to practice sketching as much as I can.

Like any student in every school in the history of schools, I like to draw in my maths notebook rather than work actual math problems. The rough sketches I do while the teacher isn't looking, are little glimpses into the stories and worlds that I'm always coming up with. I don't do an exact number of these sketches every week, so I guess I'll just post the ones I do over the course of the week every Thursday

Okay, so this one is a bit on the rough side...I guess they all are. While plotting graphs, I imagined what life would be like if people were so small that they were the size of ants. I thought of two people walking out of a cave and coming across mushrooms the size of redwood trees, and blades of grass as thick as rainforests...

A thumbnail sketch of a steampunk/iron age kingdom. Imagine Lord of The Rings mixed with HG Welles' The War in The Air. No story to go along with this one, just an idea of wartime refugees being led into captivity...not exactly very cheery...but then again I was in Algebra.

This one is pretty straight forward and loose. Explosions and jets flying around...I guess I was having a Michael Bay moment.

Not exactly sure what I would call this creature here. She looks a bit like a water monitor, not quite a Komodo Dragon, but something similar. I must say that I tried a little harder drawing this one. I think She'd probably be a villain. I just don't quite like the look in her eye. She's smart, maybe a little too much for her own good....



Well, that just about wraps it up for this post. I'll be back next week with more of my awful scribbles.

Stay safe, and stay creative!
