Art Quest Update 9-15-25!

Howdy, Fellow Creatures!   I come bearing tidings of an update on my Art Quest, an update that has been long in the making, mostly because I always feel like there’s not as much art to update on as I would like.   With life happenings and writing taking up a big portion of the day-to-day, I try to squeeze in my drawing hobby wherever I can in the cracks, which amounts to slow and steady progress.   Since we last spoke about it, I think I mentioned I was still working on the human head, and I am both happy and a little ashamed to say that I am still knee deep in the journey there.   I’ve been trying...

Art Quest Update 9-1-24

The quest continues, Fellow Creatures! Coming at you for this latest round of updates with officially starting unit #2 of the solo artist curriculum as created by Radio Runner.  And with Unit #2 comes the start of something I’ve been wanting to improve for a long, long time. Drawing the head and face. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawing the same faces. They all look a little small and flat, with eyes way too big, and mouths that are nothing more than a single line. Not terrible, but certainly not of the quality like Karl Kopinski or Sam Hogg (two of my art idols!). I’ve long longed (that’s fun to write) to make...

Art Quest Update 7-15-24

The quest continues, Fellow Creatures.   I’d like to say it’s been smooth sailing, but that would be far from the truth of late. Other priorities have taken the place of when I would be focusing on my art.   Mostly Summer activities, like sports and camp for the kids and a few vacations… which have all been a ton of fun. So, I wouldn’t say that I’m missing art at the time, but nevertheless, I’m still not getting as much drawing in as I’d hope for.   These times, when I do get some time to work on it, it’s usually in the evenings, after all my other responsibilities and goals are finished up for the day (like...

The (Art) Quest Continues

So I’ve been relatively consistent here, getting 30 minutes a day of drawing in alongside writing, family, and a full-time job.    I decided to start here, perspective drawing, per Radio Runner’s curriculum, and I gotta be honest, I started here because I knew it was going to be the biggest slog.  Drawing boxes, figuring out horizon lines and vanishing points, and working on drawing through… All important fundamentals I know I need to understand if I want to keep improving, yet still, I find myself rushing through this and making silly mistakes.   Overshooting my lines. Not drawing from my shoulder. Not applying enough pressure to my pen so the lines come out faded…    If anything it’s a...

Art Quest

You’ll probably notice I throw the term artist around these parts when I describe what I’m trying to do with my work.    I’ve been drawing and doodling since as long as I can remember. I probably spent more time messing about with a pencil and paper during the week than I actually did doing homework. (Sorry, Mom & Dad!)    Yet, I’ve never actually taken it as far as I wanted to, and it’s been a life long goal of mine to go from this (current state) '   A Jeff Hall original doodle I call "The Crew"   To this…

Behold, some of my artistic idols!    So begins Art Quest. An epic journey to go...
