http://drakepin-up.com/ I have been living in my studio since Memorial day incredibly inspired and motivated. Unfortunately I am not able to show my professional work. Please don't think that I have given up on the pin-ups, but I think that I painted until I was physically ill, and I am now trying to recover.
This is my first one after a few weeks off and I am motivated to continue the journey. It may have been good to get away for a while and come back with a new eye for what I want to focus on with these drawings. Since all of these are created on such short deadlines and I am trying to fit in 10 minutes here 30 minutes there, over the weekend, the goal has become more about getting them done and less about the craft. I will be trying to continue this process, because it is a fun way to unwind after a long week of design, but I hope to loosen up and try some new things over the year.
Thanks for joining me on this ride. I knew there would be a few bumps, but that is to be expected when you are as busy as I have been lately.
Hope you enjoy.

http://drakepin-up.com/ This was an off week. My focus was not on this at all. You can tell by the video that I struggled with the pose, the face, the overall concept, but I was able to finish. I learn something every week, whether it is good or bad. The good part about this challenge is that I know that I have to show it. There were several times during this drawing that I would have thrown it away and started over, but I did not have that much time to start over, so I pushed through. Usually, when I get frustrated with a drawing, I come back several days later and say that wasnt as bad as I thought. I hope I can say that a few days from now. The opposite happens as well sometimes. I will be proud of a painting until days later, looking at it out of context, makes me realize a flaw that I totally missed. At the end of the day, it is all about the process, so I better enjoy it.

http://drakepin-up.com/ Inspiration and commitment got me through this week. I was put to the test this weekend. I had a bachelor party to go to this weekend in Las Vegas and zero time during the week to create a pinup. I decided to try to work on it at the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel where we had a cabana for the day. This was a crazy goal. Security at the pool could not figure out why I needed to bring in a computer bag into the pool area and I now know why. It is a full out wild party in there and not the safest place for electronics that is for sure. The Inspiration there was unbelievable! There were beautiful people everywhere. The stage was set but I had no idea how I was going to concentrate with a seven foot speaker 5 feet away from me, a cabana full of friends that I havent seen in years, beer flowing like water because it was so hot, and the parade of models populating the pool area. So give me a break this week as it was all I could do to live up to the challenge of one a week.

http://drakepin-up.com/ This week had to be a quick one and I was able to create it in under an hour and fifteen minutes. Between the unreal deadlines that are racing toward me at the office, a Mothers day weekend, and the fact that I started P90x this week, it needed to get done and I had to fit this in after a grueling workout. being a designer/artist means that I dont get away from my computer or out of meetings very often so I am extremely sore from these workouts and luckily I can still draw even though I can barely lift my arms. The technique this week is a mix of the style that I used on week 15 but then added a fake vector look by using the lasso to draw shapes over the top and then paint into those selections to define a few edges. I like the mix of loose abstract gestures with crisp edges for transitions and focus.

http://drakepin-up.com/ I was very unmotivated to start this weeks drawing. I have all the excuses that anyone could have not to complete this challenge but I try to just open photoshop and start a pose. Then I am hooked. Being unmotivated and uninspired is an awful thing for any artist. After spending the week drawing and designing for my day job, it is hard to find the energy to keep this up.I hope that broadcasting this process motivates someone to start a painting or even a painting a week. Even if you do not like the end result (which some weeks I have not), enjoy the process and push yourself, you will always learn something. I once heard that an artist needs to create over 10,000 pieces of art before their first great piece. I hope these are counting toward my first 10,000.
For me a pin-up a week is about the discipline to push through those excuses and at least start something, even when you have nothing left after a long week. I usually start these on Friday night after my family goes to sleep then whatever I dont finish that night, I try to wrap up on Saturday night. Usually these have been taking me 2.5 to 5 hours depending on the week. This one is 100% photoshop.
The tattoo image is from week 6.
