The (spoiled) fruits of my labor

During my 30 day Photoshop CS5 Trial, I made some attempts at speed painting. Like a normal person, the most experience I have with digital art is scanning pencil work and using the paint bucket tool. So as you can tell with these next pieces, they aren't exactly the most finished things. I can't truly blame the software(even if it has a WEE bit of a contributing factor) but I blame myself for not spending more time practicing doing this. If I din't have this stupid ass thing called a "life" and that other shit-static thing called "responsibility." I'm not being sarcastic. I personally want to life my life eating and breathing drawing and art and nothing else. This is kinda why I'm not good with people, because they frankly bore the hell outtake me and piss me off. Makes it even worse that in order to get a career, you need to talk to people. I really appreciate life these days. (That was sarcasm.)

Well, here's what I've done over my monthly try-but-can't buy session of CS5


Was supposed to be a bulldog wearing a biker's jacket. Looked a lot better when I had it in my sketchbook.


Another sketchbook drawing that I thought would be good if I tried digitally creating.


A shoddy attempt at creating a face from a simple shape. 50 points if you guess what shape.


This was an unoriginal idea. I made a flying island with some guy looking to it on actual acrylics once.

A variant of the lizard alien sketch I did a while ago.



A sketch for an alien priestess, I remember.



Silhouette studies for a space pirate crew I was creating.



A painting attempt of a chameleon.


I tried making a funny little joke about Avatar and Zelda. If you pay attention to the terms in the movie, you'll get the joke.


The only thing I'm honestly proud of doing: My little crack at digital inking. I'm content because my actual pen inking isn't any better. That's will change sooner or latter.

Bah, I don't do art enough. Either I get distracted of I just lose interest. I feel as if I'm getting worse at it. I  think it's just me doing all these experiments I seeing bad results, but I'm supposed to learn form my mistakes right? I'm frustrated. If there is a way to not feel this sense of unfulfillment, please don't hesitate to tell me how.
