Nostalgic Amenities-Old Drawings and many more

If you've heard recently, the WGA Strike has ended.... but for how long? It will depend on the situation.

And that's only WGA. The SAG-AFTRA strike is still ongoing so I'm keeping my eye out on that.

Normally, I would divert from this and continue on with a new blogpost about things like CG, Ink and Paint, etc.

Unfortunately, I ain't got shit.

Yikes. I feel you Ramna. But rather than end September 2023 with nothing at all like I had with the other months, I feel it's time for some filler until I can get my head and USB stick going.

So what's the filler? Some of my old art that I did back in the day.

01: Jay's Toys and Games

It has been a while. This was a perspective drawing assignment I did in college way back in the day. My assignment was to draw in 2-point perspective the interior of a toy store.

I referenced the best I could on my iPhone 5S at the time several photos of what a toy store actually looked like and I sketched the best I could the many kinds of toys and floor tiles I could draw.

And to really show the type of toys out there, I drew characters like Mario, Bender, Totoro, Master Shake, just to name a few.

I still have the original drawing but years of storage had unfortunately smudged the pencil marks so I may have to recreate this when I have the time.

02: Vancouver (Burnaby )in the year 2116

Another art school assignment. This was imagining what the city of Vancouver or Burnaby would look like in the year 2116.

Obviously I won't live that long but it's nice to imagine what it would look like. Of course, since I've had my share of Futurama, I tried to keep things a little realistic but at the same time, be futuristic so this is as close as I could get.

03: Draw a dog

This was actually based on a little joke my art teacher in high school often made. So I decided to make this single panel comic on the joke.

I've got more drawings in my disposal but at the moment, I need to sort things out in both my main pc and my laptop as well as my USB since these drawings have gone through hell and high water when they were accidentally erased from my hard drive.

Fortunately, they were recovered using software but that was a long time ago.... back in 2022 at least.

Hopefully this fun little diversion to my drawings will keep this blog running until my writers block is cleared up.

See you in October.
