Okay, it starts. These sketches were all done from reference, and when I say reference, I mean I AM DRAWING OTHER PEOPLE'S DRAWINGS. There are a few from photo reference, but the majority of my sketches will be direct copies of preexisting art that is not my own. I do this because I want to learn how artists I admire are doing it, so I don't have to try and reinvent the wheel. I am in no way claiming any of these drawings to be mine, and if you want to take on the sketchbook challenge, you should avoid that as well.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE CHALLENGE:
Here are the rules. Your 1-3 sketchbook pages must be from reference. Of course you can draw from your own head as well, but those don't count for the challenge. Acceptable reference includes: Photos, comic books, any art you feel is awesome, movies, and real life. ... I might be missing some, but you get the idea. ^_~
So let's do this thing!

These are the first ones I did, one from photo, one from Posemaniacs, and one from a nude drawing I found somewhere online and had buried in my reference folder. Not very happy with them, it's quite obvious I haven't been doing this for a while.   And a kittay!  |

June 2, 2008 These were copied out of one of the few comic books I own, called Ninja Boy! (btw, when I say copied, I mean I looked at it and tried to redraw it, not traced it. Tracing would defeat the purpose of this exercise!)   |

June 3rd: This one is a half-finished copy from artwork by the glorious Nottheporn star, whose work you can find (and I suggest you do) here: notthepornstar.deviantart.com/ \ And something else found on DA and copied horribly (srsly, I drained all the energy out of it), though I forget who. T_T  |

And something else found on DA and copied horribly (srsly, I drained all the energy out of it), though I forget who. T_T I can help you with that. <3 I think it's Nine from mincedniku's illustrated novel "Pie IX". Here's the link to the deviation: mincedniku.deviantart.com/art/Nine-of-Spades-40214782Awesome work/idea! I need to look into doing this... |

Yes, that's it! Thank you! XD God, I flattened it so terribly. I hope none of the DA artists I'm drawing from will be annoyed by this.0_o I simply want to harness your awesome powers!
Yes, please join! We're so lonely in this. XD

Yes, we all failed this challenge. We shall have to resurrect it for September, methinks.
