对不起，我的漫画画得很慢! I’M SORRY IT’S TAKING SO LONG! The comic IS coming along though. This episode will be a bit more controversial.

Working on something now that I’m back home.

While having a rest day in Shanghai, decided to head up to my hostel’s rooftop bar and chill out.

Some quick boards and other building and scenery works I’ve been doing.

A present for my grandmother of her and grandpa when they were young (I’m not particularly fond of my stamp but I might try designing my own soon … Plus this one is smudged)

At QingXiuShan in Nanning today practising my landscapes. Some mistakes here and there but practise on!

今天是画画儿天，太好了！

A good day of field drawing and drawing on the walls of a cafe with fellow artists Zak and Pat. The Cafe wall drawings are not done yet and I’ve only got one more week left here in Nanjing D:!

Just felt like animating a little while my exams are on.

11. Pick your favorite mythological figure and create two designs for them: one that’s as historically accurate to their time period and culture as possible, and another that takes as many artistic liberties as you want (this could a modern AU, something in your typical style, etc.).

Figure: 嫦娥 “Chang’e” - Chinese Godess of the Moon

(Not my favourite but I still like the story and find her interesting … I also love all the old school images of “上海女人- Shanghai ladies” … sorry the pose is a bit awkward actually)

30-Day Character Design Challenge

10. Create a color palette based on the colors in your bedroom, then design a character from this palette. Bonus: don’t use the colors of your walls or floor in your palette.

9. Design a character inspired by this poem.

“I TOOK my power in my hand
And went against the world;
’T was not so much as David had,
But I was twice as bold.
 
I aimed my pebble, but myself
Was all the one that fell.
Was it Goliath was too large,
Or only I too small?“

30-Day Character Design Challenge

7. Design seven pairs of shoes. Bonus: for some of the pairs, make the left and right shoes different, but still recognizable as a pair.

5. Design ten unique hairstyles. Bonus: do a turnaround of each one.

(Uggghh I wish I had a scanner)

EDIT for better quality image

30-Day Character Design Challenge

30-Day Character Design Challenge

1. Put your iTunes library, favorite Spotify playlist, etc. on shuffle and design a character inspired by the first song that comes up. Bonus: do this with a playlist of music you’ve never listened to before. Extra bonus: use an instrumental-only song.

Song: 静默
Artist: 林海

Character: A child of human and harpy decent, living isolated in “the blue forest”

(Decided to do this little challenge to keep me drawing each day - also, sorry for the influx of sketchbook drawings, since I’m not at home I feel more comfortable drawing in my book then on my tablet … it’s odd :P)

我觉得我感冒了! “I think I’ve cuaght a cold!”

Again, sorry for being super slack. Here’s the next episode of 我中文不好 “My Chinese is not good”. Getting sick is no good, but getting sick in another country is even worse!
