Call me Blue! Or Albi... Albi's good! Or whatever your little heart desires. My goal on this blog is to collect my doodles, and see if I can't manage to be a little better about drawing. I'm starting off completely fresh, and wanna see how good I can get!

Bleah!

Nothing to say except... Whoo! First post of 2017! And now I’m finally done with my job for the time being, so while I’m searching for a new one I have time for me, finally... Maybe that means doodling more, maybe not! But I want to!

More Bretta! And this time a Tiefling too! His name’s Song, and he’s there just to chill out and be confused about why he’s in the same frame as a zombie.

Stream doodles. Today’s theme was Illithids. I’ll try to make an (at least) once a month streaming habit, and then picking the best ones to actually post. This one was fun, because I’ve never drawn them before! Weird tentacle-doods. Very scary.

Silly stream doodles~ 

Starting to get a feel for a style... it’s feeling good. Although I need to draw more fullbody pictures since most of these are just heads... slow progress! But progress nonetheless! (Also silly sand guardian, guardian of the sand.)

Dirty anon! At least I assume you had lewdness in mind... 

This is a SFW blog! I think. Probably. Probably not. Depends on how I feel. 

But this xeno’s a nice girl! She won’t take her shirt off for just anyone!

Long break again! Had a bit of a birthday celebration going on a few days ago! (Thanks for the anon who remembered it <3)

Have a Xenomorph... lady? Creature? She’s friendly, I swear. That whole mouth-in-a-mouth-thing is just for extra kisses.

Here! Touched up a sketchy thingy from yesterday’s ... thingy!

I’m not very eloquent today. But to make up for that, here’s Lys! Fresh ready for the Zombie Walk, too! It’s close~

[albicantblue]

Hey look! I doodled in a stream and hey, it was fun! I’ll do it again some day soon~ish! For now, do try to enjoy what I consider the highlights of my experimental stream! 

Gir for flair. And an Asura too, go figure! I'm liking the way my style is starting to take shape. Especially with that grumpy little Douglass there <3

[albicantblue]

Oh gosh. Work. Why didn’t anyone tell me it was so difficult to adult? Work takes way too much time from my hands... But here’s some more random sketches. I’ve started to notice I have more consistency between the styles now that I’ve been doodling for a bit longer. I draw pretty much every day, still, but I rarely find them good enough to share. These are the ones I liked the most!

Although I am stuck doodling faces, mostly. I need to get out of my comfort zone and try drawing bodies, because those are impossible things. 

[albicantblue]

Gaaaah... I hate fevers. I just want it to go awaaay...

Look, it’s a lil’ hunter. Probably lost from his pack, poor thing. Those hoods do make it a little hard to find your way around places.

[albicantblue]

Hey, so, uh... “I’ll start uploading more regularly”, right? That month of inactivity didn’t happen, I swear. 

Blerh. Being sick sucks. I hate the flu.

On a sidenote, how annoying is it when you have an idea of what you want to draw, but somehow can’t? Like, you just can’t. I can see my style starting to come up, but for some reason I have a really hard time actually producing anything "on paper”, you know? Most of the time I fill out this huge sheet on Sai of just random doodles, but none of them look particularly good or anything, and I just select the few that I did like, and post those!

And then sometimes I draw something I really really like, and then that just happens. It’s so annoyingly inconsistent.

Blerp. Had a long day. Work, man. It's murder. But I was listening to some funky music and managed to pump out a few little doodles for a hasty half an hour sketch-session. Nothing mindblowing, but I did come up with a new monster to introduce to you guys! Lana! Last name pending. Poor thing's a mute, and a little on the short side. But she's feisty and energetic to compensate for her lack of linguistic capabilities! 

[albicantblue]

Here he is! With more green-y goopness around. No idea why, but this was today’s doodle. Took me about an hour of fucking up the lower body, but eh, I’m still learning. It’s a process, right? 

Leigh Alexandria. No idea why that name, but just roll with it. I swear it’ll make sense later. Sorry for the massive image. For some reason trying to resize it made my computer all wibbly.

[albicantblue]

More color/lines practice! This time with an OC I’ve been fiddling with in my head. A sort of half-dragon kind of person. Still haven’t settled on what his horn is shaped like, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out~

In the meanwhile, enjoy Leigh's plain bored face! Six times!

Here’s a picture of my favorite hunter, for my favorite hunter!

Look, I’m actually uploading semi-regularly again! 

This was the only one out of my daily sketches that I dared to upload. Drawing poses out of your head without reference is a... nasty word. 

Here’s Shay-Lee! She’s a rebel that don’t care about your no-smoking signs.

“Let me paint you a beautiful nightmare.”

Here’s Prothero. A pain in the ass this one was, but I got to try out some new ways of coloring lines and playing with layers

[albicantblue]

Been a while since I posted, again. This is starting to get old, huh? I should probably stop mentioning that, now.

Here we go, Lys drinking (or at least trying to) his morning coffee. Decided to keep the sketch next to the finished one, just to see what it looked like. Thoughts?
