Hey I’m back, and finally finished with the drawing of YouTuber Todd. Yaay! It took a while, but I’m satisfied with the outcome! For this, like I mentioned before, half is done in sketch style, and half is detailed. The page I used was 11x14 and the reference pictures didn't have a whooole lot of details, so it's not as realistic as I was at first imagining. But I'm still pleased. And this was the first time I did a drawing like this (half & half).

Hey I recently did some work for a youtube celeb Alexyss K. Tylor for her new book Vagina Healing with Your Man. And I wanted to post it on my blog.
She contacted me about a year ago (exactly) when she saw the youtube video that I put up on my channel of her blogtalk radio show Firestorm Oracles. In the videos I had a digitally colored drawing of her that I did so I used that as the visual for the video. She saw it and asked me if I could illustrate the images in the book for her. I called her and spoke to her and we agreed on what I was going to draw. Shortly after however, I had to relocate from the apartment I was staying at and a few silly mishaps occurred and I didn’t want to keep miss Tylor waiting on her illustrations, so I decided that I just wouldn’t do them. So I told her in a message that I wouldn’t be able to. So that was it. So a year later she was still telling her watchers that she needed an artist. So now that my skills have increased, and I want the money, I did a sample sketch of an illustration for her. The book is a sexually oriented book. It’s kind of like the Kama Sutra, but much more in-depth pretty much. Not just the sexual parts but the spiritual parts of sex as well. Either way she was going to have sexual positions involved lol.
The drawing didn’t really take as long as other drawings, because it’s not super detailed. But I don’t think she wanted photorealism necessarily. Anyway, she went with another artist this time around. But I like the result of the drawing.

Weekend
I had a nice weekend. I went with my bro to see the new movie Lottery Ticket with Bow Wow, Brandon T. Jackson, Ice Cube, and Loretta Devine in it, and I must say I was rather disappointed and wouldn't recommend others to see it. I wanted to walk out and ask for my money back within the first fifteen minutes probably. And it was very predictable, the acting was weak and the storyline was cartoony, even for a comedy. I got a few Cheap laughs in though, so at least it was worth a little of something. The way the story moved along didn't even make sense and it was just awful, I was so glad when it ended. Aside from that, I visited a few family members, and talked with them about stuff going on right now. Blah blah.
Dream – 8.23.10
Last night I had a weird weird dream, and the weirdest thing about it is, it was like several dreams in one. And I don't mean those weird transitions to one place to another, I mean it was like one dream happened and then something totally different was happening, and on and on, and it's also strange, because now I don't really remember any of it. Egh. I know it had something Satanic in it, like the church of Satan or whatever, but I don’t even feel like delving into it.
New Drawings
Now onward to art. I’m working on two new drawings right now. Two that I’m focusing most attention on. One is a PORTRAIT of a Youtuber “Onlyoneofme7” aka: “only” and I get kind of randomly inspired, so I guess that’s part of the reason I’m drawing him. I don’t draw people based on who I like, who is popular, who is sexy or good-looking, no, I draw from what inspires me, that could be someone I DON’T like, or someone I LOVE or someone that I simply took a picture of the day before. They can be pretty, unpretty or whatever. That’s kind of how I work (right now). So I was watching one of his videos one night and just wanted to draw him. For his, I’m going to use two styles in one drawing, where one half will be in “sketch” form and the other in “detailed” form. Just for a little contrast. Haven’t done it before. I find myself really trying to challenge myself lately.
Next is a SCENE drawing of one of my original characters from a story of mine. A dear story. And this one is particularly tricky because I am doing the more important parts of it from imagination, and I don’t often draw from imagination, but mostly from reference. It’s easier for many artists that I know, including myself. So like I said I’m challenging myself these days. I stayed up a loooonngg time this morning starting it and getting the part done that I have so far. But I was determined to at least get some of the basics done.
