A self fulfilling prophecy.

SJ totally beat me to the punch on this, with a WAY better picture

Panel one belongs in a graphic novel.

It's like you did the manly version and I did the not-so-manly one

awesome work bumble!

I like the wind lines on panel 1 especially.

I'm thinking markers tonight... Or pastels. We'll seeee!

And here come the markerssss!

This was for muh girl <3

That bee is so fat!

Sooo cuuutteee!

I thought that was a cake at first glance and I was about to say "I wanna bro-fist that cake!" But now I realize that would been completely idiotic of me, heh.

Ah, what the hell:

I wanna bro-fist that cake!

Come on, cake. Do it.

That's scientifically innacurate: Baby bees are LARVAE!

If I were you girl, I would write an F on it.

But I'm just your boy

A morbidly obese bee? I love it! I'm telling you, man, it's your destiny to make people laugh. And I still think you're really good at getting hit with dodgeballs.

Sketches from class will be my upload today!

Sorry for the quality... and... the redness..



DBZ almost ruined my development of drawing.. but I can't deny that I still have a soft spot for it.





Is it me, or should batman be saying "who farted?" here?

OMG fat bee! <3

DBZ almost ruined a lot of artists. I remember being in middle school and high school, watching my artsy friends doodling, wondering if they'd ever quit drawing veiny people. More overweight insects!

Also--that is indeed what Batman's face seems to say. Or ask.

personal opinion: *if the red was to cover class notes or personal information, disregard future sentences*

Never, EVER, delete/censor your artwork during this month. With the good comes the bad, the bad comes good, you gotta live your life like you should. One of the most beneficial things to come of all this will be examining your work from day 1 to 28, taking in all the majestic work, and noticing the improvement, noticing the strength, noticing the weaknesses, noticing the patterns, celebrating the victories, and LEARNING from the mistakes. I can learn a lot by exploring with line, but i learn even more when i examine my work and look at the mistakes. How to fix things, how to do it better, how to make it not happen again. Without the entire body of work, you don't get as much benefit.

That being said, these are awesome. And dbz was the most major influence on my drawing life outside of marvel comic rip-offs when i was in elementary school. so high five for same influences!

I thought the notes on Mitosis wouldn't count as art

shit yes they would.

Sorry for the poor quality camera phone pics... it's all I've got at the moment for putting sketches up.

The banner say's "You're dumb."


Bubble says "Ring ring ring ring ring!"


"God damnit, Alfie, where are you??"

That scoundrel Alfie is going to be soooo embarrassed when he has to explain where he's been. Oh Alfie, you silly narcoleptic.

Some more horrible quality phone pix

The beginnings of a great drawing! (Hopefully finished tomorrow)






And the end of a classroom doodle. (I have no idea what is going on with his leg)

Yeah, the clothing folds in these ones (especially the top one) are really cool. I especially like the glove and the folds on the guy's body on the top one; I have no idea why that's sticking out to me, but I guess sometimes a person's eye just gravitates to things. Maybe I'm thinking about clothing folds for some reason, maybe that's why. Maybe a clothing fold killed my family in a past life and my murderous fixation to avenge their deaths has carried on through various incarnations of my immortal soul and so whenever I see a representation of a clothing fold, such as in a drawing, I immediately tune in to it with thoughts of murder.

Maybe.

But yeah - cool!

Good pose in the bottom one.

A panel from mondays Alfie... I pray I never have to draw furry chicks again..

And with those words, you've just doomed yourself to a lifetime of nothing BUT drawing furry chicks!

Tomorrow I'll be posting the sketches I've been doing all week.. not one for every day.. but a lot!

Shame has fallen upon me for missing so many updates

These were actually from today, I'll try to get the sketches I promised from during the week up a little later

A moose!





Continuing with the success of fat animals, a duck!

I am envious of your ability to draw cute animals.

These are from earlier in the week, during classes.

This is a comic character idea I had, I'm not comfortable revealing all of him just yet, so you get crazy anatomy muscles!





This is a preview from a future strip I'm doing for fistful of fists




this was supposed to be earthworm jim, but I couldn't remember everything without reference... so I gave up at his shoulders lol




This one's from today;
Animals are so fun to draw

An, as-of-yet, unfinished sketch i did at the DMV

You should add blood shooting out of his nose Otaku style.

Kudos for pushing yourself to shade the muscly guy. I always thought of 'shading' as like, the "next step" that a person could take in order to increase skills, so I'm still trying to teach it to myself too (I used to only draw black-and-white line drawings with no shading... but shading really does make a drawing stronger because it helps 'pop' things out and make an image easier to read). I'm especially liking the shading on the arm on the right for some reason.

And yeah - animals are fun to draw, heh. I definitely agree. There's something about animals that just lends them to being able to be drawn with fun shapes and they always turn out great, haha. Even if you exaggerate them (like make beaks extra huge, legs extra skinny, body perfectly spherical, whatever strikes your fancy, etc., etc.).

Animal drawings are great, shading is great, this thread is great, haha. Keep it up Bumble, we're hitting the final week-

Yeah, the muscle guy stood out to me, too. Very nice.

It's funny, Noman, I consider myself to be a terrible line artist, but a reasonable shader. I guess I'm working in reverse.

I made me a puppet thing!

I'm imagining a Youtube, Alfy puppet series! I'm liking it already!

I gave sprites a shot!

...and did horrible.

Little Mac ftw!

I really should have referenced a pic or something lol

Ohhhhh Punch-Out! I gets it , I gets it.
Having never tried sprite art, I can't think of much to say, haha, but yeah... maybe it might be interesting to use some coloured lines to outline Mac? Like, instead of using black lines to outline everything (like you've done), you could try using dark green outlines to outline his shorts, dark purple to outline his shirt, dark red to outline the gloves, darker brown (or maybe pink) to outline his skin... I dunno, I'm just thinking back to fighting game-type sprites (like Street Fighter II or Marvel vs. Capcom), and those sprite artists often use coloured lines instead of black lines for some reason. A lot of animated cartoons (like Disney films and such) also use coloured lines to draw their characters.
Examples:
T.Hawk from Street Fighter (they use blue lines on his headfeather, brown lines on his boot, blue lines on his jacket, dark brown outlines on his skin....I think the only black lines in the entire piece might be his eyebrows):

And here's a random scene from a Disney movie (first one that popped up in a Google search for "Disney Movie"). The artists used blue lines on Jasmine's clothing, brown lines for the character's skin, dark yellow lines for Aladdin's clothing...and again black lines on their eyes to help "pop" their eyes out and draw your attention to their eyes):


I'm not 100% sure why cartoonists use coloured lines, but I assume they have a reason (which is why it's so common), heh. And maybe doing that to your picture of Mac would be a bad idea (because maybe Mac actually had black outlines on the NES so it would be more appropriate to just leave him with black lines), but I dunno, random thoughts, random thoughts, haha. If you do ever use coloured lines, though, I would keep the eyes/facial features dark black though, so that the eyes 'pop out' (because of the contrast) clearly and are very easy to read.

Man - I'm rambling. You probably weren't expecting a ridiculously long post like this, haha. It's probably completely irrelevant too. I'll stop now!

The colored outlines does make a lot of sense, it would probably make it stand out more..

...I do use colored outlines a lot in my Alfie comic on the front page Though, I'm not sure I have a reason that I do it, I just like it lol

So you do! (I just checked, haha - whoops)

Well then, carry on sir.

Mental Note: Next time maybe do a bit o' research before posting Cog, haha...

You validate my existence, sir. Do know that I take all critiques into consideration, even if it's just reminding me to do something that I forget to do from time-to-time

My final entry is my Godzilla drawing. It is in this thread: https://www.halforums.com/threads/bumble-im-calling-you-out.24625/

Thanks for tuning in, guys

Well done, Bumbz.

It was a pleasure, Bumble. This is probably a weird thing to type in to a forum post, but you come across as a nice person, so it was great doing February alongside you.
Congrats for still being alive in March, heh. Keep rocking!

Loved the month of your updates Bumble. Hilarious work and always kept a smile on my face. -grin

Drew this when I should've been taking notes.
