Sketch_Dailies Week 7

Once again five more illustrations for the twitter group @Sketch_Dailies. Doesn't really matter if the topics are something I would normally like to draw- it's more the fact that it 'forces' me to draw and to draw a diverse range of characters. Check out their website too.

Carmen SanDiego


Dracula


Hawaiian God of Thunder


Pro Wrestler - Ultimate Warrior

Sketch_Dailies Retweet

So yes I am a complete art nerd and get excited by the little things that others may take for granted but yesterday after 5 weeks of drawing each day, I got retweeted by the online twitter group @Sketch_Dailies.

Not only is this a buzz because it is an endorsement of the art you have created for that day's topic, but it also means that my work has the potential to be seen by the 16.3K followers of @Sketch_Dailies. My work has been favourited by the group previously, but never retweeted. I also picked up some new followers of my twitter account, including the @Sketch_Dailies group themselves, which is pretty cool considering the number of followers versus the number of people they are following.

Lots of retweets and favourites on my twitter account 


To a lot of people this may seem a small thing to be excited about, but for me it provides some much needed affirmation in my art. I struggle to believe in my abilities as an artist so this is a boost for me. Being retweeted also means that my work was featured on the Sketch_Dailies website.

The topic incidentally was Aquaman, a superhero I don't know a lot about other that the fact that he is a man and lives in water. Here is how I interpreted the topic- with a mash up of the Nirvana Nevermind album cover (woot old school)
