Description
I got a couple of comments on my most recent journal encouraging a sketchdump suggestion I'd made, so here it is, in all the glory it could muster. ^^ This one's pretty much a few of my girls in random poses, mainly sitting or lounging around. I drew most of them in my classes (Government in particular, omgsnorecity), so it's not surprising they've passed out from all the boredom.
Oh, and at the very bottom, sideways, is a little caricature of me either very pleased or finally cracking up...This is a sketch "explosion" because there were tons more I could have added to this, but I was afraid this one was packed already, so maybe another sketch explosion is in order.
This could quite possibly be forcibly retired to the Scraps, but I like them right now, so probably not for a while. 
The full-view is big, and very up-close-and-personal, so I hope it doesn't take too long to load.

I really really super enjoyed this sketch explosion. I love the little snippits of Avice. I really can't wait to see more of her. Have Mentioned that you have the most natural and un-boring poses. I love the one of her tucking her hair behind her hair. Turn her little look into a scowl and you have me in the morning, . . er noon. . okay night too! Well if I have mentioned it, I'm mentioning it again, WHY, because you need and must be praised! HA!
Oh kay, I love the fact that you didn't try to erase all the pieces of homwork from the sketch dump! I love it! I think it reminds most of us that classes like your government and my economics are really where the "real" art blooms! I loved the unfinished kitty. I demand a kitty. . . please. Just kidding.
Oh, I love what you did with feet. Is there a specific technique you used to learn how do do them so well? I really have trouble, so any suggestion . . yes yes, any suggested would be welcomes, loved, huggled, obsessed over and regarded as scripture.

Aww, thank you massively, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments. Thank you for the compliments, everything you said means so much to me. 
Hahaa You're the first to mention that you noticed the kitty, and it's good to know you did! 
Oh wow, feet. Feet are so hard, actually; they get underrated because everyone talks about how hard it is to draw hands, but feet have been just as challenging for me. I don't know if I can say I really have a technique for drawing them-- a good excersise to draw them is drawing your own feet; you don't even have to look in a mirror, just draw looking at them, and the angles will be cool to look at too. ^^ For just free-drawing them, think about the foot-- the heel is pretty much an extension of the leg, and rounds out a little passed it, and can be easily represented with a circle. The "palm" comes out in a square shape, and one time I heard that your entire foot is the same length as your forearm, and while it's true for me, it might not be for you or the character you're drawing, but that's a good way for me to keep general proportions straight. Little circles can represent five toes on the end of your square, and then fill in the details.

Sketchdump!
Oo, I love them all. I don't think I can pick a favorite one. You have such a variety of poses and points of view. You drew everything filled with motion; nothing's static. Great job.
Wait, I think I do have a favorite. That caricature of you is pretty sweet. XD

government class ? what do you learn on there ?!
i looooove Avice, her malicious face and pose ! 
i love the green Zelenn, it's like your Brandy pic where she's the other side of the glass, but she looks sad and Zelenn in the other way, looks glad
all the pics of Kirida are lovely (i've already noticed she had gorgeous hair, but here it's even more gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
all the poses look (yep boredom can be seen lol) but so natural and cool / relaxed
what catch my eye most it is the fact that everything is incredibly awesome and great, i mean, there isn't a part of the anatomy which does not seem well done, the hands are marvelous.... all the angles you choosed are perfectly managed... :whorship:
*where do you have all those poses ideas ?! i wanna know !!! i'm always out of ideas

In Government class we learn the structure, responsibilities, and function of the United State's Federal Government, Democracy, the underlying politics which therein occur in elections, campaigns, and civil services. 
Heheh I'm soo glad you like the drawings, and I love hearing all your thoughts on them.

There's two drawings/one character I don't quite recognize - bottom right in green and fifth up from the bottom. Is that Brandy?
I always love seeing your sketches! You've been a busy girl in class

I lovelovelove idle drawings and doodles, whether they're mine or someone else's. they always seem to come out really well, and they've still got that raw unfinished spontaneous quality that sketches do. <3 (did you use col-erase on the coloured ones or just put them through photoshop? because col-erase pencils win at life.)
I particularly like the Avice drawings for some reason - the one of her sitting and then the back-shot. The girl pushing back her hair at the very top - that's awesome perspective/foreshortening on her arm and elbow, and it's a really solid drawing. wonderful job all round. and your floaty hands on your spazzyface! xDDD

if you've never used col-erase pencils I definitely recommend you try them.
LOL, floaty hands and heads. xD your hair looks different from how you're wearing it in your ID, though!

lol You're so observant! Heh well, my hair is naturally curly (and I've been wearing it curly now too), but I was going through my "straight hair" period in that picture, and it's one of the only pictures I like.

I think it'd be great to see finished the one of Avice I'd mentioned before, mainly because her posture and expression are intriguing, almost as if she's seen something comical or amusing.
