Nehemiah Throttlemire

This is a sketch from about a year ago. I hope I have improved a little since then, but some days feel like I know nothing about drawing at all. Like anything else, good days and bad days go with the territory. I actually like the bad days. Those are the days that I see my weakest areas. If I'm struggling with a particular pose, facial espression, or even background detail, it means I don't know how to do it. I will either have to get reference material, find someone who can show me, or give up. Giving up isn't even an option, so I have to find a way to make it happen. By doing so, I begin to understand how to draw the form. I will then repeat the drawing, each one better than the last.

I have have started my first course with Joe Kubert's World of Cartooning. I can already see lots of room for improvement. I will keep bangin away at it until I get it. I once heard someone say, "you go through about ten thousand drawings to get to a master piece." I must be getting closer to that master piece. It feels like I've done ten thousand drawings in the last few months. Until next time.

Half Elf Chick 2


I was playing around with line work here. I started with a rough sketch with a dull tip pencil. Then rolled a kneaded eraser over it to lighten it even more. After that, I sharpened my pencil and drew only the lines. I didn't do any value rendering on purpose. I think it turned out OK. Later.

It has been acouple of weeks since I posted. I have been out of town working on some personal business. Here, in this sketch, I thought I would try my hand at a half elf chick. She still needs some work, but I have to move on for now. I have assignments to finish. Until next time.
