Day 4/365

So, technically it's actually Day 6 ya?

"Well, see, what had happened was... "

I told you this "every day" posting thing was going to be difficult for me, but I really am trying to at least do a drawing every day while I'm waiting!

So I shall edit this post later and include three drawings to make up for my lack of posting the previous two days. It'll be much later tonight though as my roommate and I are planning an Ikea adventure now to look at their sales.

But yes, posts, they're coming!

Day 3/365

So I've been listening to Fireflies' Owl City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psuRGfAaju4) for the last few hours (literally, it's been on repeat). I just love how upbeat and whimsical it is. I'd like to do a digital painting inspired by it and here's a quick sketch of one of the characters I'm thinking about using in it. I've wanted to do a steam punk world painting for a while now, I think this little guy is the beginning of it.

Did this in mechanical pencil while I was waiting for Aion to finish updating.

Day 2

Alright, 2/365 Days for Sketched in Seconds, the While I Wait Project.



This was done while I was waiting for my lunch to microwave at work in 2h graphite.

These two women I met right before I went on break made me think of an old style cartoon drama. The skinny lady had a deep "old fashion" voice while the shorter woman had a rather high pitched one and sounded kind of ditzy. I loved their gossiping back and forth and knew I had to draw them next chance I got.

An Introduction of Sorts

This blog was inspired originally by an idea my roommate had called "While I Wait". It's random moments captured in drawings while you're waiting for something else.

Instead of just spending your time waiting, you sketch in those valuable seconds. This idea is more than just about drawing, it's about realizing that every second of your life is important and should be spent doing what you love, not just constantly waiting for something else to happen.

I went out today and purchased three new moleskin sketchbooks (since they are sold in packs of three at Barnes and Nobles).

And here are two doodles I did in the first one while waiting for my coffee at the Starbucks.



I plan to do this project in all types of mediums, basically whatever is handy. These particular sketches were done with graphite sticks.

I'd love it if others participated in this project as well! :) It's not about drawing well or even about drawing at all! I'd love to see how you use your "while I wait" seconds.
