Making a ramble of a information post about a character I have which I will post drawings of later to explain some things with visual references

Mr Oliver Hendrick -

Needs a good solid 12hrs of sleep atleast once a month, probably twice ( He barely sleeps at all. )

Constantly out on his fishing dock either trying to fish up remains of the undead that have piled up around his fishing docks or just completely sun burnt and laying there contemplating how he managed to become the main supplier for fish

The trident and fishing rod wielding undead that wander around his fishing docks occasionally pester the man by leaving his fishing lines thrown back onto the shore or just completely broken with a limb hanging from the hook

He's been struck by lightning atleast twice.. Once was a accident, the other time not really. He was trying to skeletalize a horse and was holding a lightning rod, needless to say Ms Floralis had to revive him from the dead and he now has a burnt arm and few other issues that he tends to ignore

Been a target for tridents which almost struck him through the heart or main blood vessel which has almost costed his life more times he could think (Ms Floralis has a whole book containing all of the injuries Oliver has gotten over the years)

He's very appreciative of Ms Floralis's kindness and continuous help on keeping him from actually kicking the bucket by accident though he doesn't know how to show his appreciation for all of her help in words

Big ol softie just only really shows it towards Ms Floralis

He doesnt verbally show appreciation instead he leaves gift baskets of her favorite flowers and shiny trinkets he finds while fishing as a way to thank Ms Floralis

Anyways end of this ramble for now, he has sm of a hold on my brain and I want someone to understand why that is. Will probably make more of these as I design and make a more permanent story and character description for him :3!

30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge

Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D

I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!). Challenge yourself and have fun at the same time!

Tag your posts with #Improvement Hell so everyone can follow along and see each other’s awesome artwork. I may even create a blog and reblog them! :D

What are you waiting for? START!

Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself

Draw a figure using a reference - link to reference

Draw a figure that’s in action, using a reference - link to reference

Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with atleast 5 being skeletal/musculature studies.

Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20, with atleast 10 different body shapes

Let’s have some fun. Design a character from either This or This character generator! Be creative and bring something to life!

Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights.

Find 2-3 objects, make a scene with them. Draw it. Bonus points for creativity. Double points for dramatic lighting.

Draw a landscape of a place you’ve never been or drawn.

Draw a BG with 1pt Perspective. Negative points if it’s a railroad or an empty street.

Draw a BG with 2pt Perspective.

Look out a window. Draw what you see. Bonus points for adding something interesting.

Draw an interior setting with the character you designed on Day #6 in it.

BG with either bird’s eye or worm’s eye view.

Halfway there! Draw three 'action’ scenes with different compositions in each. Quick sketches are fine, just make them interesting and understandable! Bonus points if it’s the same scene, but different composition.

Draw a single page comic with 5-7 panels (the story begins and ends on one page). 

Draw an animal you’ve never drawn before. x10  Link references.

Draw a car. Negative points for whining. Hint: Use a perspective grid.

Think of the thing you hate drawing the most. Guess what? Draw it! Negative points for lying to yourself.

Pick an object in your house/room. Now design a character from it, using the shapes, forms, textures, purpose and colors as inspiration. Also link/post the object you used. Negative points for using a humanoid action figure.

Draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using ONLY solid blacks and whites. Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows

Draw a different object/scene/character. Shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. Bonus points for lights/shadows and textures.

Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.

Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Don’t forget light and shadows!

Draw a scene/character in a style you’ve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.

Draw a character. Draw 10 emotions/expressions. Bonus points for 'uncommon’ emotions. (i.e. anxiety, guilt, despair, loneliness etc.)

Draw three random shapes using your opposite hand (or your foot). Now design characters from those shapes.

Turn on the tv (or load your illegally downloaded movies). Pick an actor and draw them.

Almost done! Let’s have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it’s super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it’s from.

Last day! Find a drawing you did within the last year. Now draw it again using what you’ve learned! Link it for comparison!

 Look at all that amazing improvement! Congrats!

[Update] There is now a sequel challenge, Draw All The Things!
