    Doodle 100: Powershell, iMac Giveaway, Twitch, and IINYC

    The other day, I was learning a bit of Powershell scripting for doodle 100. I plan to build a small script to manage my starting soon text in OBS. Open Broadcaster Software or OBS, for short, is what I use to live-stream. The code will be useful for chat interaction because I will include blurbs about myself. Then people can use that to chat with me or get more topics. I’m curious if it’s worth putting that information during the stream. As a result, I’m excited about learning Powershell scripting for the doodle 100. 

    A quick aside, Divi (WordPress Theme Builder) is giving away the new Apple iMac 2020. You may want to check it out. Look for the hidden link at the end.

    Drawing Plan 11: Morning Half Hour Week Drawing Studies

    Hi, friends, starting up my drawing plan 11. Yesterday, I woke up later but forced myself to the writing-table. I starting penciling in my morning pages on the IPad, it took me about 40 minutes to finish writing my pages. I can’t say what I wrote because it too damn private for you to read. Mostly about my issues and complaints. It’s a way for me to unclog the pipe before I move on to the drawing plan 11 in this case.

  • Subway Doodles Sketch Underway V5

    Subway Doodles Sketch Underway V5

    Days ago I started a new journey of creating subway doodles. My art instructor, Michael Korosty recommended I try to develop doodles on the subway. He mentioned that this would be a way to practice my eye accuracy. However, my goal is to practice his technique. In fact, a few days ago, I created a video called How To Draw Proportional Spray Can? Thus, when should I practice his way and is there a way I can still blend into my daily trips?

    Subway Doodles 🔊

    Wait, why doodle in the subway and why subway doodle at all? Well, it all started with my wish to get good at drawing. Okay, not ultimately, I wanted to get better at accurately landing ovals and proportional drawing. Pause, I still owe you an explanation, I’ve been commuting every day and been drawing random sketches. That’s all it is, and at this point, I’m getting bored that nobody is interacting with me. Hopefully, by me drawing real living organisms, people will recognize it and socialize with me.

    How my Doodles Draw themselves 🤷

    It’s quite simple; Don’t worry about anything and draw whatever in front of me. If the subject moves away, then I paint on top or create a new layer in Sketchbook Pro. In fact, I’m using more gestures than accuracy. Even so, I feel as though I’m not improving. In fact, what I want is to do studies of my subjects, but without looking weird. In other words, I started drawing using a part of the technique, but I felt guilty that I didn’t measure correctly.

    The little goals of drawing 🤔

    Do you ever look at a beautiful woman and stare? If the answer is yes, then you might be an artist. Joking, I don’t know, but see if you can find something interesting, then try to break down its beauty and draw it merely. Similar, imagine your standing in front of a blond woman who is sitting down, and you want to paint hair for whatever reason. If your lucky and she isn’t looking at you, and you might catch different shades of dark and light. That’s called a study if you can then draw that effect and practice it until it becomes stable.

    To Sum up ❤

    Somehow I need to fit all of this into my daily commute. Do a few doodles, practice accuracy and do a few studies. Earlier, I wrote about Phoenix sketches, which is less connected to technique and free to rendering what is in my mind. In other news, above is a picture of the MTA subway train getting ready to leave the station. As always, good luck on your adventures!

    Gremlins: What do they look like and Who?

    The Gremlins 🤔

    Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror movie😱. I’m excited to draw it to today’s blog post! 😎 Also, “its an imaginary mischievous sprite regarded as responsible for an unexplained problem.” Besides, Google defined Gremlins as a mischievous creature. In contrast, this morning, I did not need to get up, bedridden, and ready to drink Upma tea. It’s a type of grain, also known as cream of wheat. Also, waking up to a friendly face is the best feeling in the morning: a breakfast dish and a touch of spice.

    A Lesson on Drawing ✏️

    Drawing dragons is fun. Not only, had already finished sketching the lines, and I was eager to start coloring them in. Also, I’m drawing from a book called DragonArt: How to Draw Fantastic Dragons and Fantasy Creatures. Today, I learned about using multiply and screen layers. For example, multiply with color selection allows you to paint on a shadow. However, the screen layer with color selection creates a highlight. After drawing, we had lunch and watched Once Upon a Time with Jennifer Morrison. We wanted to watch the Moon Raise Kingdom on Netflix.

    After Gaming Session 🎮 🕹️

    Later that day, I went to the dungeon with comfy couches and soft pillows. Thereupon, I watched two crazy fun sisters play Overcooked and Zelda. Not to mention, I gave them tips on moving through the levels. I enjoyed watching them squirm over losing. In the same fashion, you can get them for the Switch or PS4 gaming console. We played monopoly for a little bit, but it got boring, it is fun if more people join. Also, it has an online mode, but I didn’t try it.

    Thank you for reading quick poses.

  • Neighbors: How to Draw Them & Improve Your Focus?

    Neighbors: How to Draw Them & Improve Your Focus?

    Neighbors Draw Them & Improve Your Focus?

    Today’s drawing challenge came from the word neighbors. Also defined as a person living near or next door to the speaker or person referred to. Yesterday, I had a thought, I wanted to learn more about character design, while browsing, an inspiring article popped up, HOW TO DRAW FEMALE FACES BY LOISH. To start, first create a circle, then draw a curvy cross and finally draw in the eye, nose, ears and mouth.

    Furthermore, I wanted to continue using flow and layering of gray shades. I started these ideas in these two posts Simmer: How to Show Flow & Promote Scene Passion? and Mystery: How to Create Flow & Improve Scene Interest? In addition, I learned that if I use a black color, middle black of 50% with multiply on the layer and 20% dark gray, I can get interesting results when combined with a top layer. Also, the top layer is used together with the eye dropper tool to sample the gray’s on the other layers to create basic shapes in the foreground and background.

    I’m curious to know or your curious to know ⁉️

    I’m a bit saddened by the fact I couldn’t draw to my full potential today. Yesterday, my Nexus 6P experienced a boot loop, then magically started working. This morning, my digital pen battery ran out, so I had to draw on my android phone. What do you do when stuff isn’t going your way? Do you push through or take a day off?

    As a matter of fact, I just pushed through the day, I knew what goal I needed to focus on and I just worked through the issues. I knew I needed to focus on neighbors, so I went on google image search to get quickly inspired and started drawing. A few days ago, I had a similar issue in the post What Kept Me From Quitting Ghoulish Challenge?

    In the light of my creations, I want to see your creations in the comments below. Also, my grammar and English isn’t that good either, if you see something odd, please let me know!? Moreover, if you haven’t already read about me, head over to my about page or Who I Am and Why I’m here? If you like what you see, please like, re-blog and follow for more inspiration!  ¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
