What is your daily drawing routine?

For those who are seriously into drawing and want to get better - I presume you guys draw daily, everyday perhaps?

If so... what is your drawing routine for improvement?

I know Xia said three hours a day ...and a life drawing session or two...

Recently, I've been doing random sketches and using drawings and references from other books...

I've been having fun...

But now I'm stuck - what do I draw, next - what should I be drawing? How long? I don't want to start a big piece of art work - but rather something small but effective.

I didn't want to post without a picture so...

Here's a picture I did while sitting in bed, 30 minutes!

I don't regret

I know that i could do it better  but... i will try next time :P

Thanks for comments, CU!

SID

After months of torture,
i finally finished this drawing for "Sid" , an ol pal from my school days, LOL
:)
there might be a re-edit soon, because I'm not so happy about the bg.

Shanna- She Devil Concept Sketch

Hi there, today it's my birthday and I'm 20... I just did a quick concept sketch inspired by the comic book "Shanna-She Devil". For me drawing is a good way to keep myself motivated, so even today I kept my drawing routine! :)


Anyways, enjoy & Peace!

Life Drawing

Here's a 20 minute sketch from my weekly life drawing class. This is probably the best one I did on the evening. There are a few more over at my blog: www.halltoons.blogspot.com

Krug Champagne

This was all built from scratch in a 3D program and then taken into Painter to "wash" it out.

randoms

i dunno random drawing :)

My first post

Hello everyone. Xia has graciously invited me to start posting here. My name is Ed Hall and I'm a syndicated cartoonist and illustrator from Jacksonville Florida. I hope I can throw some stuff up here that you find interesting. This one is from a series I'm currently working on where I pause a DVD at an interesting still shot, and then sketch directly off the TV from across the room. I got this idea from Glen Fabry's awesome book Muscles in Motion. A good read - highly recommended reading. My blog address is: http://www.halltoons.blogspot.com/ Stop by for a look and let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks & Cheers,

Ed

Marvel Gals

Been awhile since I've posted. So here are some pencil/inked drawings of some Marvel girls for you all to enjoy. Take a look and tell me what you think!

Female Study

I hope that the skin tone is correct this time... or at least better. Xia you can't imagine how many times I've watched that portrait tut. If she's not correct, then I must improve only with time cause I'm practicing too much I believe! :)

I'm interested in realistic illustrations, so i like to do things like this. I like this picture because i need train whit shadows and finally, i think that i meet my goal.

I hope you like, and comment if you have any suggestion!

Anatomy Study

You never really learn to apreciate how complex the human body is until you try to paint it, and how difficult it can be. I'll admit that this one gave me a good challenge, and I'll be attempting to make others like it in the near future.

Snow Environmental Mountain

Here's an environmental concept I did lately. On my blog there's a post underneath it that shows you how it was before I refined it.

Pokepetter saw it already...

Enjoy.

I Draw Girls As Well, Who'd-a thunk it?

I just found out that its easier to speedpaint young and beatiful models, rather than old men with a large assortment of crinkles on their faces.

coloring

Just messing with the colors in photoshop.
"messing" probably caused me to mess up that other hand with the glowing object :/

Up All Night

This picture combines several techniques that were finalized in Photoshop. The drawings are my pencil and marker drawings scanned into a 3d program and "mapped" onto planes. The laptop was built from scratch and took the longest. Shadows and stains were painted in Photoshop. I'm getting away from 3d work now and spending more time studying traditional art techniques. The abundance of "pre-made" 3d models being used is causing me to appreciate hand-drawn illustration more and more.

Happy Birthday

Ha! And the National Culinary Society thought that injecting cake-mix with traces of gama radiated pig DNA was a bad idea!

Seeing a well done self portrait here made me want to do another one of my own. I hadn't really done one in a while, this one turned out okay, but it's not my favourite. Drawn with charcoal rather hastily (>20 mins).

Don't try to draw yourself when you're in a bad mood. D=
