So recently I've been having a crisis with my drawing style. I have so little charm and dress sense so when I'm not happy with the crap I'm producing I become very disappointed in my fat, stupid fingers, my mediocre wits and pants from a friend's father. Long nights of soul searching, research and scratched out eyes of characters have gone into developing a new approach that makes me feel more satisfied in approaching anatomy and scenery. I'm actually going to pick up books that take me back to some fundamentals. I could claim that my drawing is self taught but I find that claim somewhat arrogant. I've observed many great people and had Life drawing classes and talked to other artists. Anyway, Here's some recent sketches trying to solidify a new style for me. It's getting there, I'm pretty excited about how it's all coming out. Next step to ink a couple and see.
The titling is just fun and to help some compositional skills

Once you get a better sense of who you are, knowing exactly who your artistic influences are and how you approach a drawing - everything just flows. It's a great feeling.
ReplyDeleteThe first sketch made me chuckle. Out of all the sketches I like the 3rd and last sketches especially the last one as it seems more refined and detailed than the others. Makes me want to dig out my old John Romita Jr Thor issues!
