Week 1

[aardogs]

Week 1 of 2014 over. After a day and a half of total rest, Maxie started acting totally normal. We're thinking she may have just strained her back, but fingers crossed she seems totally fine.

My project for 2014 is to draw a dinosaur every week of the year. Week 1 is this fiery colored deinonychus. Hopefully I will improve throughout the course of 2014.

oooooh!!! no way you drew that! really??? Amazing!

When you draw the flying one, can I buy it off you to give to Allison for her dorm room?

Is it wrong for me to ask that? Probably. I don't know these things. And this one is so freaking awesome that I got all excited.

Just ignore me, if I was stepping out of line.

Thanks Rosie! I'd totally be up for that!! I'm excited you even asked! What size do you want it to be? This one is pretty small, I've been doing them in an 7x10 sketchbook but I can do one that's larger.

Yay!!!

8X10 ish would be cool no? Easy to frame, and to ship?

If that's the size you were going to stick with, I'd say stick with that.

If she needs it bigger she can scan it and blow it up..right?

Yay!! so exciting!

MORE DINOSAURS!!!! DINO HARDER. I am very excited by this bit of news. A dino a week, so cool.

Oh and this is a really cool Dino, but most of all I am very happy to hear Maxi has improved. She will probably be good for ever and ever from now on.

Dinosaurs are my favorite. The coolest things is that now birds are officially considered to be dinosaurs--dinosaurs everywhere!!

We're definitely very relieved about Maxie. Every little odd behavior with her is cause for concern!

Impressed! I am always jealous of people who have artistic talent.

Thank you! I had a drawing teacher this semester who was fantastic--she really taught drawing as a skill rather as something you either "have" or don't. There were people in the class that had barely drawn before and by the end of the semester they had improved tremendously. So the key is to draw for 10 hours a week! ;)

Are dragons dinosaurs? I want a dragon. I like dragons.

[aardogs.livejournal.com]

Well I CAN draw things outside of just these dinosaurs, and I do love drawing dragons so yes that will definitely be happening.

I think you should slap some wings on some of these dinosaurs at some point this year, that's all I'm saying.
