A drawing that took me two Sundays to finish

A couple of Sundays ago, at church, I started to draw a picture while listening to the sermon. By the end of the sermon, I had only drawn the sketch of the character, so that Sunday night when I was at church listening to the sermon I coloured some parts of the character in, but it wasn't finished. I still needed to colour the skin and the hair and I needed to do some shading on the clothing.

Over the week I forgot about my drawing and didn't finish colouring it in.

Last Sunday, at church, when I opened my sketchbook, so I could draw and listen to the sermon (which was well spoken by the minister), I saw the picture I had drawn the week before and started to colouring it in again. I coloured in the skin and the hair and did the shading on the clothing and then started doing a background, but the sermon ended before I could finish the background, so I left it and finished the background that evening while listening to the sermon.

I like this picture quite a bit.

Notebook Drawings

In class, one day I was waiting for the teacher to set up the speakers to her computer so that we could watch a DVD about the different kinds of catalogue searches libraries use. I had my notebook out ready to take some notes. By the time the teacher had plugged in the speakers, I had drawn a character from my head and was ready to colour it in.

When the DVD had finished, I went home by train. After I had been sitting on the train listening to my iPod for a while I remembered that I had drawn a picture, so I pulled my notebook and some coloured pencils out of my back pack and started colouring it in.
I got home, cut him out of my note book and stuck him into my black papered art book.

This is the finished result.

Doodling at Church

When I have absolutely no inspiration to draw an anime/manga person at church I usually end up doodling or scribbling out some random shapes and colouring them in.

I can't really remember where I got the idea for this picture, but mum was drawing one and it looked pretty awesome, so I decided to draw one too.

My church is a Cross-Culture Bible Church and this picture is of the church's logo and I just copied and coloured it in with a couple of gell-pens.

This one is just random shapes that I made into some pretty flowers.

Drawings From My Art Book

I'm the kind of person that has to be doing something to be able to listen and be able to process what is being said in a class room or at church, so I have a small art book that is always in my bag wherever I go so that I can draw and write in it when I am at church or on a train going somewhere.

These are just some of the drawings I drew in church.

Some Things I Draw When I'm Bored

Drawing eyes is just one of the things I do when I am in class listening to what the teacher has to say, in church listening to the sermon, or just bored at home with no inspiration to draw a whole face or person. I've been drawing eyes for a while, so I knew I had lots of them somewhere in all my art books and note books, so I went through every one to find all the eyes that I have drawn over the years so I could put them up here.

I didn't really want to upload one picture at a time, so I spent some time on photoshop sticking all 39 pictures of the eyes that I drew into one 12x12in picture. It took me a while, but it is finally done.

Jimmi Finds The Monroe County Public Library on YouTube

This is a video that I hand-drew for a project for the online Use Multimedia class for the Library and Information Services TAFE course that I am studying. I have almost finished the course, which I'm SO excited about.

The story of the animation is one of my answers for a different assessment that was earlier in the course.

Well I hope you enjoy the animation that I made.

Inspiration Flush

After watching Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I had a flush of inspiration.
This is one of the Code Geass inspired drawings.
