I’m Back! + a Logo Drawing

Well, as the title suggests, I am back on my blog and writing! I was sick for a week and a half (which was NO FUN 😂 ) and then I figured it would be best to just take a full two-week break and come back on Monday… which is what I’m doing! 

In my brief post telling ya’ll that I was sick, I promised some EPIC art when I returned… 

And I’m here to deliver! Hopefully it meets your standards of epic… 😝  

What I was trying to do here did not work, I’ll start out by saying. I wanted to do one of those really awesome 3d drawings (which you should totally look up! They’re AMAZING!!!) but it turns out they’re way harder than I thought. 

I originally thought you just had to draw a 3d-ish drawing and then cut out a horizon line and… ta da! There it was! 

But no. Actually, 3d drawings have a TON to do with angles and distortion. I haven’t made it quite work yet, but I’ve gotten close. But for now, I’m just going to show you the first try I did, which was a cool drawing anyway! Here it is. 😀 

As you can see, I did cut out the drawing a little higher than halfway (shown by the shadow line on the paper behind it). That was my attempt to see the drawing pop up from the page, but I realized afterward that if you want to draw a 3d picture like that the lines must be warped outward so the camera lens picks it up as straight. 

Of course, knowing that I was doing this drawing for my blog, I picked a unique thumbnail-type drawing with my blog name on it. I made it up myself, and I think I’ll use this sketch as a rough draft for future thumbnails and advertising! 

Let me know in the comments how you like it—and what you think would make it better! 😀 

Thanks for reading and God bless!
