Two from yesterday, one from today. Just wanting to stay in the groove for this style of drawing and inking as they're not my usual form at all. The rabbit in the Bio comic has, for whatever reasons, allowed me to be a lot looser in my drawing as well as more dynamic, both of which are things I struggle with all the time. Now that I've found a style that really interests me, of course the popularity of this stuff has come to an all time low. I branched the Delve Deep stuff off into its own tumblr as no one watching my regular one seems to like these. So, whatever. I just have to keep making stuff for me. -I- like this stuff, it's fun. I might never be more than a hobbyist, but I'll just have to deal.
The inking is a real mix between the style I did for Fite and that I did for Tamino. I'm trying to care less about exact lines and let the ink flow a bit more. My one problem with this style is that I really want to draw big and, as can be easily noticed, I have a hard time with composing a figure so that it fits on the page. I have this feeling this will mean that when I got to do the comic, each panel might take up a whole piece of board. Oh well, there are worse problems to have! Meanwhile, I'll keep going. I've made some real progress to the story and its script. I really want this to be something good, and solid. All these years of prep have to count for something.

I thought there was some drawing trick i read once that helped keep things on the page as it's a problem a lot of artists have.... maybe it was in "drawing on the right side of the brain"? I can't remember! As least assembling it all digitally, you can resize, rotate or whatever you need to do to get the panels to work out. I haven't drawn anything in a long time now so I'm jealous. I have been side tracked by my film project and the last thing I drew I hate and I decided I have no talent and suck at drawing... again.
I'm sure there is some sort of trick. I keep trying to draw smaller and it hasn't worked so far. Ah, well! I just know if I used bigger paper, I'd just try and overfill that, too.
I go through the doubts all the time. At my lowest, I've seriously thought about setting aside paper and ink and walking away. But I can't, can I? Neither can you. Just go back and look at your good stuff, and KNOW that you can draw and create good, cool stuff. We all have bad drawing days. And you have photography and film making on top of all that! I bet you can sing, too. :"D
of course I can sing... really, really, REALLY badly! I'd love to have some sort of musical skill... like play the violin like Sherlock Holmes or something. I don't walk away, I just don't do anything for along time, eventually start up and hide it all in a portfolio to be found by a future civilisation which will celebrate my hidden genius. Which is a plan of sorts I guess.
