My name is Danielle Alexis and right now I work as a freelance comic colorist. Coloring is my passion. I love bringing lineart and sequential pages to life through color and feel very blessed for the opportunity to live my dream. However, because I spend a majority of my time coloring other people's pencils/inks I haven't had a lot of time to do my own sketching. So one of my New Year's resolutions for 2011 is to do a sketch a day. It may not be much, maybe even just a doodle... but my objective is to find as little as 10 minutes to practice and hopefully grow into a well rounded artist. :)
So here we go: Being New Year's Day I spent most of the day out at my brother-in-law's place eating ribs, drinking beer and playing video games. When Nathan and I got home I took about 15 minutes to sketch and came up with my first sketch of the new year. I usually draw my pin ups standing upright looking flirty. This time I wanted to try something with a little more awkward.
Sorry for the bad scan. It's not very detailed, but I feel like it is a good starting place. I plan on practicing my ability to draw anatomy/poses and then moving on to drawing animals, clothing, nature, architecture, etc. My goal is to by the end of this year be able to draw full scenes: characters in their environments illustrating a story.
Wish me luck. :)
Groovy! Wishin' you all the best in your endeavor for 2011!
