Backstory Time Folks (Cuz I'm Lazy)

Hey! Welcome, wipe your feet on the rug and relax, its story time. Its been a few weeks now and I'm dying under the weight of all this school work, its getting in the middle of my fun time (not a masturbation joke...unless you think its funny then by all means, enjoy) I know it's probably a lame reason but there won't be a fresh new drawing up this week. Sorry, school in the end comes first, if I had a job, then I would say fuck it but school is more like a dominatrix, need I say anything more? I do? Nipple clamps. There you go.

So yeah, why not post up some of my old stuff? Because I don't want to!...Okay, you talked me into it.(No one really spells out okay anymore) When I was young, I used to...trace (I feel a lil dirty thinking back on it, not because of the tracing, just...memories) Anyways, yeah, it took me a while to actually draw stuff and you can say I'm still not caught up. I grew up in the Dominican Republic (said backwards for all my spanish brethren...or just hicks). My cartoons were not limited by my country's third worldlyness though, I used to watch Dragon Ball (Z too), He-Man, Looney Tunes but I think my first anime that I watched alot was Sailor Moon...I know, I know.
Moving on, that got me into that whole genre, it expanded much more when I picked up my first manga book, I'll never forget the name, it was Ejaculation Rangers, weird since I found it in Borders...
Ok, seriously, it was Love Hina Vol.2. I just really liked the style and Ken Akamatsu (the manga artist) is still one of my fave artists today and here are some other stuff that inspires me.


This is probably getting too long so I'll just show some of my work that I've done over the last few years. Check it out, nothing too original, not until just recently have I been getting really creative so there you go. Tell me what you think.




Now stop asking me for more! I'm joking, please ask for more. Oh yeah, and post your names when you comment and you're not a blogger member. I want to know who's actually reading this crap. Follow me if you like what I do and if you don't spite me by following me, that'll teach me!

PS:I got the next three drawings planned out. The first is for my brother since I owe him since October and have been lying saying I did it (I swear Im nice) so you'll see what he asked for.the second is for some groupie I know that thinks she's my girlfriend(I tell her that to keep her from going nuts and killing herself, or worse, me!) And the third is for one of my best friends, now THAT is going to be challenging, I've never done that kind of drawing so it should be challenging to say the least. Are PS' supposed to be this long? Ah well, leave a comment, tell me your opinion.

That Surfin' Echidna...Dude.

Nice to see you again! Have you lost weight? Woww, I can really tell...Niw that you're under the impression I'm a nice guy, hello.Man this week felt long.Ok, so I'm a little late with this week's drawing but I have a pretty good excuse: Echidna's are fucking hard to draw. I took this drawing request from Matt, one of my blog readers and a classmate and damn does he know how to pick 'em. I struggled to make this thing not look like a bird on two legs, to make its mouth not look like a platypus mouth and its fingers not like claws. It's a clusterfuck of an animal if you've ever seen one:an anteater, porcupine and platypus...a fucking platypus... enough said. This is the first pic, sorry about the quality, it was with my Blackberry (I don't feel good if I don't capitalize my phone):


Ok, so that took me an insane amount of time to think up. I seriously had like 6 pics of it for reference and this is as good as I could get it. Don't like it?....you don't?...Ight then, I don't care about you, you're not my fucking moms! (You actually might be, I don't think she'd like this either.) Anyways, Matt wanted it surfing so...:

At the beginning, it was just a plain board, it was pretty boring to me but then, while in a class (I won't say which for "not failing any class" purposes) and decided to add Knuckles the Echidna to the board to just make this much easier to understand what the hell an Echidna is. Although I have NO IDEA how they came up with calling Knuckles an Echidna, should've just been Knuckles, the Bloody Jamaican Hedgehog, but I'm not a game designer so whatever. Here's a little color in your face. Boom!:

Yeah, at this point, I thought I was pretty much done but since it didn't quite feel complete, I decided to cave and actually draw a bit of a background, water does tend to add a little more credibility if you're pretending to surf (it's not impressive when you use your body as a surf board on the beach, not unless you have someone standing on top.) but I had never drawn water effectively since I like outlining too much but ah, here we go:

I don't know if I made the illusion that he's inside a wave tube but i tried. I just know that I wouldn't surf, swim or even tan near this thing, not for fear of getting pierced by its spiky back (how does it do it?...hardcore hair gel?) Just because I know I wouldn't be picking up any girls with this smooth looking dude nearby.(Ladies, he's single!) Just let me know what you think about him. I'll name him(her?) sometime this week. You can bet it'll be something radical (surf terminology, same as ninja turtle terms). Ight, remember, don't fuck with Echidnas, not because I say they're dangerous, they just seem capable of murder, I think its their naturalluy purple eyes that I can't help but fall in love with... (Knuckles has purple eyes thats why.) Anyways, leave me a request if you'd like. If I like the idea and think I can do it, I'll do it. Simple as that. Leave a comment, don't have to be a member to do it, c'mon! Do it for the LOL's. Leave your name though!

First Post!! Woot! Wait... this is MY blog.

Hey,name's Mike and welcome to my blog I so aptly named "I Draw Stuff". I'm going to be talking about, you guessed it, nuclear physics...or drawing stuff. I'm a SUNY Purchase student, New Media major (meaning anything artistic with computers) and I like to draw things in my spare time that I can't use for my portfolio so yeah, I like to waste time.

This is something I recently drew for my door. Why draw something for the door? Because the girls in front of my dorm room drew something and started an ART WAR!...They don't know about it yet but that just means me and my roomate are winning. My roomate decided to draw two Nintendo characters, a Boo and a red mushroom. I decided to go for a Final Fantasy character: A chocobo wielding a buster sword (FFAC version) and threw in a little Naruto inspired eyes...
Here's my inked drawing.

I used a .25mm line width black Micron since its the only pen I have skinnier than a sharpie.
Here's a little of the colored drawing.

I used sharpies for most of it but added some coloring pencils for the borders as to not screw the inking up.

Here's the finished product.

Used color pencils for shading and light spots. Added a little scarf for, i don't know, cool scarf action? Anyways, that's it for today. Check every now and then to see what I'm drawing up here at SUNY Purchase.
