Another super busy week done! I've been feeling sick a lot though, first I missed my family's Thanksgiving dinner because of some weird headache/nausea attack, and then over the last two days I've been having some weird indigestion/stomach flu type thing... egggggh. And still not much time to draw, but I'm going to try and draw something everyday! Even if it's super quick and small, I'mma do itttt >:|



So, this week I started with quick 30 sec - 1 minute poses, and in pen, which is new for me... no erasing!























Also this week, my Jessica painting was rejected in a group on Deviantart that I always submit my paintings to and get accepted. I was suggested to submit it to the intermediate/novice category, which includes pictures drawn in MS Paint. I know I shouldn't let myself be bothered by this, but it is a bit of a reality check-- I need to work harder, and I will be doing more studies. :< I'm also hoping to make a sketchbook thread on ConceptArt.org soon, I was going to wait until next year when college would be out of the way, but the sooner I can get better crit on my work the better.

That said, here's WIP of a painting I started this week! No character in particular.

    jan, tes choses sont AWESOME!!! I so see you doing this for a living (illustrating, creating characters, painting, etc.) Don't let the DA thing get you down. Get yourself back up on the horse, baby, cause it's where you belong. You have a very RARE talent. Keep pushing yourself.
    ...hugs!
