Nothing to really show today.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. If you have any awesome stories I would love to hear them!

I know it isn't scanner quality but I started the painting of the previous sketch.

it's backwards here and has no chandelier yet.

I sit here at lunch right after psychology where we were learning about anxiety disorders. Psych is one of my favorite classes this semester. I love learning about the way people think and why. The only problem is it doesn't really help me figure out why I some of the thoughts that run through my head do run through my head. In psych my professor called them intrusive thoughts. Thoughts we don't want to think about but they pop into our heads and we usually dismiss them. For example, many people have violent intrusive thoughts, thoughts about doing something extremely violent and out of character but they are usually marked absurd and dismissed from our thoughts as quickly and sudden as they appeared. That doesn't always happen for me. The dismissing part about certain intrusive thoughts. Those of you reading are probably thinking I'm some sort of homicidal maniac that thinks about violence all day long, but I'm not talking about violent intrusive thoughts. I'm talking about thoughts of betrayal. Some times I start thinking those I hold dearest are going to betray me in the most hurtful ways. But I have no grounds to hold on to these thoughts. These people have never betrayed me before or if they have it wasn't intentional to hurt me. So, why can't I dismiss these thoughts and go about my day normally.

I meant to bring my bigger sketchbook to scan some images of quick face sketches of my family I did over the weekend but I guess this will have to do for now. 

I plan to paint this or something like it over Christmas break while I'm recovering from having my wisdom teeth removed. Now I'm going to go use a letterpress for the first time, or at least learn to use it. Pretty excited!

Keep it legendary.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

So yes I went to see Harry Potter today, and yes it was freakin' amazing but I don't want to talk about the movie more of what it made me think.

I have never been one to associate with people who I thought were just given everything. The kids who drove brand new BMW's that their parents gave them for their 16th birthday, those kids weren't my friends. I felt that they were more shallow than me because they had everything they wanted at the tips of their fingers. Lately after reading The Hunger Game series, seeing the movie tonight, and seeing people around my town, I have realized that I am that person. I have never struggled for anything, fought for anything, or even been desperate for something that I needed. Everything I have ever needed or wanted I could simply ask my parents for it or wait for Christmas where I knew I could practically get anything I wanted. I don't know what I'm trying to get at by saying this. I guess I just want to say that I feel almost ashamed for everything I have.

wrote all over a sketchbook again

Here is the picture I told you about yesterday.




and this one is from a few days ago that I just now scanned.



Hopefully I can continue to crank out sketches that I like.
Have a good weekend

I've been looking at the world differently. I have been asking myself how would I draw that. Instead of just imagining the simple shape of something, I think of breaking it down even further into smaller shapes and then imagine the light and why the shadows look the way they do.

I have a pretty awesome drawing that I'll post tomorrow

talk to you then

Bored. This guy kinda just appeared on my paper... Don't ask what it is, I don't know...




PS my home scanner is the worst.

Here it is

Recently I have not been liking any of my drawings and that's the main reason for the slow posting. Even more recently I have become slightly obsessed with the comic book heroes from my childhood (they were more of tv heroes since I never really got comic books, but I knew where they came from and have a great respect for comic artists), such as Spiderman, Batman, Superman, The Flash (my flash drive is named this lol), The Green lantern, and a lot of others. Today before a test in psychology I sketched The Flash's face from my memory, it's not really The Flash but more just my rendering of someone looking like him... anyways I like it so I will try to post it later today or tomorrow.

Until then have an awesome time
Kyle

Ya, I haven't been sketching much, but the few I have done I have been working on hatching and cross hatching. Not super exciting but it's something...



I would also like to congratulate my friend for getting featured blog two days in a row (or something like that) on Wordpress! His blog is www.mchael.wordpress.com CHECK IT OUT!!!

I know I haven't put up a picture this week, I'm sure you noticed, so I have decided that I will post an older sketch that I never posted. I will just try harder to sketch more and make sure to scan them.
