Here is nice collection of people drawings from the 2014 sketchbook of Jessie Lu…

I *sort* of kept my goal about my sketchbook. I came rather close to finishing, but I didn’t actually fill up all the pages of my sketchbook. I am, however, very proud of myself as to exactly how far I got. Though I didn’t reach my desired goal, I feel like I actually accomplished a lot.
Here are some of things (aside from the sketch dailies that I’ve previously posted) that can be found from the month of January – February 2014

Cafe Sketches (Starbucks, Target, the mall, etc)


   

   

   

   

I started to work from images as well. Images of celebs and I love drawing the girls from suicide girls! They have some great poses

   

   

   

Bonus: Vanellope mini comic
I’m going to keep on pursuing my goal and continue to draw everyday.

It’s been awhile. HAPPY 2014!
I don’t know if you all are familiar with Mike Yamada and Victoria Ying over at Extracurricular Activities, but this month of January they started a sketchbook challenge where you pretty much fill up an entire sketchbook within one month. I was late to the game so I’m about half way through. But I was pretty proud of myself with keeping up trying to at least do a drawing a day. Even though the month is coming to an end, it’s not to late to set that target for yourself. You should also check out their blog area. They have some GREAT posts.

Anyway, I wanted to share some things I did in my sketchbook so far. I cheated a little since I have a few sketchbooks that have been used. I changed up the game for myself. I have three used sketchbooks, but my goal is to fill those in at least 3 months. Now, these sketchbooks are less than  a quarter complete, so there are quite a few pages. I think if I were to combine all of the pages, they’d be at least 2 1/5 sketchbooks.

This past Christmas I did custom holiday cards to special friends

Lately I have been using brushpens a lot in my sketchbooks. I love how they work and how it looks on paper along with markers (Copic, Prismacolor, and Neopiko-2)

 Here’s to 2014. I hope to kick it in the butt and improve!
