Practice on tablet, from the basis

UPDATE - Great. I'm starting to fell more comfortable compared to yesterday. Faster and longer lines. And yes, I confirm the left hand collaborates better with tablet and I almost never use ctrl+Z 

After a quick improvement at the start, in 4 days i didn't improved in months.

Then reading around I discovered that I drew in a uncomfortable way (I even have pain on my back and shoulders for this) and I had to move tablet on the table. Plus, as I suspected earlier, it seems that my left hand is better for the tablet, but earlier (like every time I do something new) I could not fell clearly which hand was better (On the tablet, I can make almost straight lines and control pressure with the right hand but I still can't control direction after months, with left hand I'm not yet used to draw with tablet but I can control direction)

I think it should take 4 days again But I don't fell the urge to learn as before, since I'm more curious to getting used to a new technique of drawing I just learn during last two months.

I'll take a bit of time to write something about me...

... because I will not post new art this week.

As I already told in this blog, I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3.

Since I was 11, I didn't nothing about visit to psychologist etc, but I worked by myself, in order to improve my comprehension of communication, social skills etc...

Is happened that recently, a person I and my brother know, was diagnosed with autism aswell. and plus, my brother and my mum realized I'm having some difficult in everyday life. As difficult I mean certain things is perfectly normal to do, but they don't come spontaneous to me.

So my brother organized a visit with a psychologist for me, and few weeks ago I and my mum went to psychologist. I was worried. But result of the visit was good. During those 30 years of life, I learned a lot of things that many 30 years-old autistics don't know yet, so I think I can say I am a very high functioning autistic. Psychologist suggest me how to overcome problems I have on multitasking and told me that I need to work on my social skills (I'm naturally an extroverted, but when I was little I approached people in wrong way, so now I am a bit scared when I have to approach people I don't know). This does means that I will probably have to do some volunteer works (related to drawing) in nearby kindergarden and probably I will have to draw social stories for autistic kids.

At the moment I'm trying to improve in everyday life, but is quite difficult.

That's cool

I love when people you admire are like this. From what I know and from several sources I've read that Taker is quite reserved in real life.
Another thing I like about Taker, is the fact that in the rare pictures where you see him smile, his smile is genuine. A lot of famous people show fake smile in pictures. Smile is the facial expression I know better, and I find the fake smile (the one often shown in photography) is irritating (Waaah teeth!!!)

Rotten

http://fav.me/d6e6r7x
I hope my sketchy sketches don't annoy you. But I need to practice on sketches. (today I hadn't a lot of time for an accurate drawing)
If you don't want to see my sketches I will not show you them anymore.

Rotten is a tertiary character that appears just once in Rough Dream. I think he is the most disturbing character of the story.
His look is inspired to Gollum, and I will define this character better with time. at the moment he's not fully defined, but his personality is clear.
In silhouette he looks a lot like Harald. But he has bigger chest, flat hips and thinner limbs. Also he is 24 cm smaller than Harald, so his general proportions are different (now that I give a look to silhouette, they are different. Somethimes I see my character more alike than they really are, because later I can recognize them very easily from their silhouette) .
If you think a small framed man can't fight, well, see this: http://media.northjersey.com/images/McFadden2_030112_td_tif_.jpg
Although he appears just once, I prefer to give a well defined look to characters that help the story to advance (I don't like when characters that talk once with protagonists are generic/approximate)
I didn't describled him again, I just talked about his (only)match.

Say hello (fuck you) to Gestapo

http://fav.me/d6e10b1

Gestapo is a tertiary character that appears just once in Rough Dream. As you can guess from his name, he play the role of a nostalgic nazifascist.
His look is inspired to Brock Lesnar's look, and I will define this character better with time. He should look stupid but also scary.
Although he appears just once, I prefer to give a well defined look to characters that help the story to advance (I don't like when characters that talk once with protagonists are generic/approximate)
Words that describle him (from the second draft) - (*spoiler*) fought against an opponent as big as Olav... maybe even bigger, due to massive steroid use.

Special/only for the blog - Hvorfor alltid meg?

A unhappy Olav, sketched in few second. I wonder why I can't always sketch like that (Yea, yeah, I know there is still room of improvement, but this is the best I can do at the moment - when I sketch.

Daily 12 - Waiting Room

I wanted to practice on lineart, but I think is better to improve on skectching now.
I sketch 4 times faster than 10 days ago, but I need to become faster on sketching, So I will have more time to make my sketches precise, then I can do better lineart (this drawing lacks of precision)
Also, I want to avoid screentones. Rather I want to do a black and white comic with clean lineart.

This scene happens at the start of chapter 15. I choose the less interesting part (the moment is important, but this scene doesn't reveal a lot).

Talking about useless information, I have problems to define Brian's dressing style. In this scene he is almost 23, so he can't have a extreme look anymore. My brother suggest to look for glam rock, because that style fits Brian. At the moment I didn't cheeked.

Olav loves soft and comfortable clothes. Even if he is 6.8 feet tall (Using american measurement without understanding them - I know that is 2.07 m), he can find clothes that are a bit larger than him. 

Bjørn instead likes to wear almost formal clothes, and if not formal, he likes to dress well (unless he doesn't fish)

That's not daily sketch anymore. But at least now I'm trying to finish every drawing, instead to practice only. I need to learn to draw more like a comic artist, and to forget about colours and filters for a while.
