<p>I&#8217;ve been sticking to the sketching. I think I&#8217;m making progress. Note the Sith Lord in the bottom left of the first image. I drew that moments after seeing the trailer for the new Star Wars MMO : The Old Republic.  It&#8217;s pretty awesome if you like that sort of stuff.  There&#8217;s lots more sketches but these were the best so far. There&#8217;s been a lot of drawing heads, neck and torso. I&#8217;ve moved onto drawing poses. I&#8217;m just not getting the gesture and body language I want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been too long that I&#8217;ve been browsing other ladies and gents blogs. The inspiration overload has been great. But it has also left me behind in posting some of my own progress.</p>
<p>This might not be much but it&#8217;s some of the loose sketches I&#8217;ve been doing lately. More stylized and loose than my more rigid style I&#8217;ve been working with in the past.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been drawing most of my inspiration from the the Anime movie Tekkon Kinkreet. Obviously it&#8217;s not as loose. I just love the energy and movement of the characters.</p>

<p>For a few nights I was being very diligent with daring for atleast 2 hours in between other freelance. Trying to focus on female heads. I used reference at time, but I found the characters I drew without I actually prefer.</p>
<p>I got a Human Anatomy for Artists for Christmas from my gorgeous lady. Excellent book, I&#8217;ve only started. I&#8217;ve been drawing for so long and it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve always said I&#8217;d learn, but you know how it goes you just want to get straight into the drawing. Learning sucks &#8211; right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s my third update so far. I&#8217;ve mostly been messing around with the css of the website. Trying to add some nice features. I was messing around far too long and not coming to a conclusion on the design direction of the site that I ended up just wasting my time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a video that will be posted soon of my illustration process. It should be something nice and it features an illustration of Hayao Miyazaki hard at work. He is huge creative hero of mine. If I can accomplish half of what he&#8217;s done in my lifetime then I&#8217;ll be a happy man.</p>
<p>For now, like my other major influence Josh Middleton, I&#8217;ll do a small update of some old sketches.</p>
