Welcome to 2010. Hopefully things start going a little better here at Vision Riders.

If you&#8217;d like to see Sketchbook Monday continue, please let me know. As far as I can tell, nobody reads the blog.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visionriders.com\/artwork\/sketch\/2010\/01-01.jpg\" alt=\"sketch\" class=\"artwork\" \/>Two characters, Khalil (&#8220;Kal&#8221;, the boy) and Jacob (the spiky-hair girl), from a story I have been toying with and have managed to write some of. If ever finished, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s something that would fit in here at Vision Riders.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visionriders.com\/artwork\/sketch\/2010\/01-02.jpg\" alt=\"sketch\" class=\"artwork\" \/>Random guy I drew because I needed the practice. Seriously, people, would you believe I spent two years in art school? I should be able to draw better than this! Practice, practice, practice. I must become more diligent in the coming year so that my skills may become stronger.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visionriders.com\/artwork\/sketch\/2010\/01-03.jpg\" alt=\"sketch\" class=\"artwork\" \/>Serious guy\/girl\/something. You can tell they&#8217;re serious because their hair is blowing in the wind. That&#8217;s serious stuff! You&#8217;ll notice I&#8217;ve been tweaking my style as of late. I want something more realistic, but still stylized. Granted, I&#8217;ve been trying to do <em>that<\/em> since long before Vision Riders. One day, I will perfect it! Bah! If only that day were today.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visionriders.com\/artwork\/sketch\/2010\/01-04.jpg\" alt=\"sketch\" class=\"artwork\" \/>Who dares to challenge the might of the paladin, Glenn?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visionriders.com\/artwork\/sketch\/2010\/01-05.jpg\" alt=\"sketch\" class=\"artwork\" \/>Random ninja\/samurai guy I felt like drawing. Honestly, I don&#8217;t think he turned out too bad.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visionriders.com\/artwork\/sketch\/2010\/01-06.jpg\" alt=\"sketch\" class=\"artwork\" \/>So much so, in fact, that I ended up drawing his whole body. I generally try to avoid giving characters scarves because the only canon Vision Riders hero, Jessie, already has one, but he ended up with one anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year, everyone!
