I recently got to spend a few days in Paris! Here are some cruddy sketches from the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay. The problem with drawing in a big art museum is that usually there are ten other people drawing there at the same time and they’re all better than you.

This is a guy I sometimes see about town, generally around the UP area/Elliptical Rd. I’m always going by too fast to try and get a picture of him, so this sketch will have to do for evidence. On the left is what he looked like the first time I saw him, sometime last year I think. On the right is what he looked like when I saw him last Tuesday. All in all I’ve spotted him about six times. His costume keeps changing but the consistent elements are navy blue color scheme, cape, mask, wide-brimmed hat, and what looks like a police baton on his belt. As far as I can tell he’s always alone, no camera person trailing after him, so it’s not some film project or jackass stunt.
One afternoon I looked out the window without my glasses on and was amazed at how much the view resembled an impressionist painting. Every leaf and sunbeam looked like a brushstroke in oil paint! I immediately tried to capture the image in front of me…
…Oh. Well. Life is full of disappointments, I guess.
A marginally better attempt at doodling the shady woods and young spring leaves I saw from a tour bus in Denmark:
The Tale of the Rose
(Yes i drew this 2 years ago and never posted it and now the series has ended. This was probably the single best episode of the show)
Whoops I guess I drew these five months ago and never posted them
It boggles my mind that, even after “Reunited,” there can still be people who think of Blue as the nicer, more reasonable Diamond.
I always see people doing screencap redraws and wanted to try.
Who wants to tell them
My mother said it all goes around
The moon goes around the planet
It all goes around
Maybe she’s just pieces of me you’ve never seen
I keep forgetting that I still haven’t posted my last few Inktober pieces here. Here are Inktober 23-30, previously posted on Instagram: Steampunk #23 (The Gateway); Space #24 (The Prisoner); Urban Fantasy #25 (The Anti-Vampire); Post-apocalyptic #26 (The Samurai); Forest #27 (The Sphinx); Steampunk #28 (The Queen of Darkness); Fairytale #29 (The Grim Reaper); and Forest #25 (The Cursed Knight).
Starting Oct. 27 I was on a trip until the end of the month, and figured I might not be able to do the last few days; but in the end I only had to miss the very last day. That’s way better than I expected to do so I don’t feel too bad about it.
This Inktober was really fun, and overall I’m pretty pleased with the quality of the drawings I did. It was kind of tiring though; I’m still trying to catch up on sleep.
