Went apple picking with my brother, mother and boyfriend. It was a gorgeous day out. This is by far my favorite time of year to be living in Maine. (:

More than meets the eye
I painted Julie a box for her birthday and I continue to make signs at work. Proof that I'm still pretty much drawing everyday, I just don't really have the means to post all of it.

Inspiration
Self-Portrait Project!
Thanks to Amanda Blanchette's inspiration on drawing ourselves as Street Fighter Characters, I'm making a list that I'll be referring back to that involves even more fun! And I absolutely encourage anyone that reads this blog to do it too.
The idea is to illustrate yourself (or a friend if you so wish) in theme with anything off the list. Or come up with your own! You can even combine themes! And then you'll have a whole bunch of pictures of fun.
It's mostly just meant to inspire or use as a warm up. It's also great practice for character design - some are intended to coerce a bit of research. Using yourself as the subject adds an aspect of comfort so concentrating solely on the theme is easier.
I'll probably be adding to this list as time passes (if you have any unique suggestions, I'll gladly take them!) I also don't expect to finish the entire list, but we'll see how far I get. (:
from each continent (when drawing yourself from the continent you are from, be specific! For example, I live in Maine but I was born in Arizona, so I'd do a southwestern-theme!)
1/ Africa
2/ Antarctica
3/ Asia
4/ Australia
5/ Europe
6/ North America
7/ South America
8/ the star of your own Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network Cartoon (with a sidekick/companion!)
9/ as an original character from one of your favorite childhood t.v. shows
10/ a super hero with 1 super power
11/ a Noir character
12/ an animal
14/ a plant
15/ a fairy tale character
16/ a zombie
17/ a ninja
18/ a monster
19/ a baby
20/ an adolescent in your old favorite outfit
21/ aged/elderly
22/ a bum
23/ a hippie
24/ as royalty
25/ what you wanted to be when you grow up
26/ what you want to be when you grow up
27/ in your dream house
28/ in the future
29/ as a caveman/woman
30/ as a movie celebrity
31/ the photo that ruined your fame as a celebrity
32/ nega-you
33/ dressed as your favorite person
34/ as if drawn by your favorite artist
35/ as a different ethnicity (try not to insult anyone)
36/ as your favorite video game character
37/ as a Poke-Trainer (with your favorite Pokemon of course)
38/ wearing clothes made of your favorite food(s)
39/ how you see yourself
40/ how you wish you looked
READY GO!
