So here are some of the promised sketches I’ve done. I have this little booklet on drawing dragons that came in a kit I got for my daughter called How to Draw and Paint Dragons
Couple of sketches below, along with the models I used. I’m more focusing on the build of the creatures, shape and muscles and stuff like that. Click to see bigger.
One more, probably unfinished, I think I might fill it in.
I had to take a break unfortunately as the tail end of the semester kicked my proverbial ass. Because of my wreck in December I ended up way behind, so when you add my schoolwork and slowly working back up to full time at my job, it ended up being a lot. Plus, finishing my first revision was a huge step, so I relaxed LOL. I am going to design a sign graphic that I will hang when I am not posting for a few days so that you know I am not leaving, I am just working on stuff.
So after the revision of the book, I turned my focus to revising some of the stories I haven’t sent out yet. I have several stories that are making the rounds, but I also have a backlog of stories that are very close to finished that just need polishing, as well as some that are good but need a couple of revisions. So I’ve worked on that, and now I have eight stories out. Three that have been out for a while, but I also just sent stories to Glimmer Train, Clean Sheets, Modern Fiction Magazine, Not One of Us, and Vestal Review. Glimmer Train is a long shot I know, but still, I’d love to get published in there. I also have six in the pipeline for not a ton of revision, and then a few more that will take some work.
I’ve also been branching back out into multi-genre work. I love photography, drawing and oil and watercolor painting, but I haven’t done any of for a long time, like a few years. (Well, I have done photography when I traveled.) So I have been missing all of it a lot, and I decided that I need to get back into it. I think that it is important to branch out into different types of artistic works because they enrich and help other branches. (That will be the focus of an upcoming post.) I plan on posting pictures of my artwork as well as my photography here as I talk about how they are connected, and also to help me stick with it along with my writing.
So, back into the posting flow!
Holy cow what a week. Now we work on getting back on track!
1.) Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - what began as a response to the Kansas school board’s plan to consider teaching the alternative theory of Intelligent Design along with creationism has taken on a life of its own.
2.) Heartless Machine - Artist Christopher Locke’s site. He does amazing sculptures out of unlikely materials, such as his scissor spiders.
3.) The Winkee - I cannot remember who I got this from, but it makes me laugh. Don’t want to be bothered wearing a tanktop under your plunging neckline? Wear a Winkie!
4.) Reading to Mom - when a parent’s memory begins to fail.
5.) Really Bad Tattoos - disclaimer: I love tattoos, I have a bunch of tattoo, but holy cow these are some bad tattoos. There are seven posts that are linked to at the bottom of the first post, check them all out. NOT work safe!
The purpose of this meme is to give high-fives to 5 people, posts, blogs and/or websites you’ve admired during the week, so who are YOUR High-Fives? Post them to your blog and then Share the love.
