Welcome! Now go home! Just kidding. No, seriously, go. Gotcha again! Now get out. You should see the look on your face! Funny, now come on in.!

Back to basics

Sat Jan 17, 2009, 9:38 PM
I think I'm gonna hold off on all the Photoshop stuff for a while and get back to some good old fashioned traditional drawing. Don't get me wrong, I love my tablet and painting with it, but I need to get back to basics.

I realized that my strengths are with pencils/pen and inks. In an alternate reality I'd probably be working at Marvel by now. But, my skills are nowhere near where they should be. I could really be great if I get my act together. I know it.

I want to create a comic. I'm working on the script right now. But, if this is to be any type of success it needs to be perfect. Good storytelling(framing, flow, etc.), a well rounded art style, and something the reader wants to see more of.

This would mark the first time I ever tried anything like this and I may very well land on my ass the first time. But, if I don't try I'll feel worse. I'm tired of being held back by my insecurities about my art, how it's never good enough in my eyes. I have to try.

So, the agenda is to start drawing like mad. Backgrounds, animals, people, cups, friggin' sand, whatever! I need to be able to draw everything I see or else this won't work. And I will make this work.

So, be expecting to see some of the worst art I have to offer. I'm starting from scratch and relearning how to draw. And when I start getting better, hopefully, I'll have more confidence in my art.

Because you have opened this... you will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life... if you don't break the chain. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't send this to at least 10 people by the stroke of midnight tonight you will be forever cursed in love. Just copy and paste n send it to15 ppl xcept me............... when you are done press F6 and your crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. this is scary cuz it works
