I remember when I used to be....

..consistent with this thing. ( Also much happier ;) The utah winter has not been helpin at all either. I apologize for not gettin around to everyone. Will try and get back on the horse. So heres some sketches. (Surprise) A couple art trades I did, a video of me ( you guessed it ) sketchin, and a couple of sketches. weeeeeee



Thanks all for the kind words and visiting. Makes me feel guilty I dont update more. I will make it a point to be more on top of the blog. ( And try and post some animation eventually...... but dont hold your breath..)

I love watching you draw, man! There should be more videos like that. YouTube should be at least 80% full of just videos of you drawing. To reach that percentage, you have a lot of work to do. Better get to it. Great sketches... all of them. You're the man, Mel.

YesLand said...
