Sorry no uploads, been too busy drawing

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 3:41 PM

Well the good news is I've been drawing more! But you wouldn't know it since I haven't actually finished anything yet... so, you're all just going to have to take my word for it.
I currently have 9 projects unfinished: 3 have been partially inked, 4 are still in the sketching stages, and 2 are close to being finished.

I'm trying to work out a technique for faster + nicer looking shading in Photoshop. I don't know about 'faster' but the softer brush I've been using is a big improvement over the rough cell-shading of my earlier work.

As for actual lineart n' sketches and such, it's hard to tell if I'm improving. I've been flipping through some anatomy & art books, and attempting to utilize at least some of what I'm learning from them.

My biggest improvement so far, I think, is on drawing human heads- not just faces, but the actual skull. One thing I noticed about my older art is that I drew heads way too large. This may have been because I started out drawing in a more manga-influenced style than I do now, but let's face it, though I've always been a fan of Japanese anime and comics, I'm just not very good at emulating the style.
Which is fine.
I don't want to draw like somebody else. It is my goal to simply be the best at my own art. Sounds reasonable, right?
So yeah, new submissions forthcoming, eventually.

Life makes us realize there is nothing in the world truly perfect. But through that imperfection, we can find beauty.

Crack shipping means never having to give a reason. :heart:

Crack pairings are all about possibilities, not inevitabilities.
