Lately I'm tired of my own drawings. Drawing is still fun, but I'm ready for some change. I've been kind of trying to break out of my normal drawing habits, but it's not easy.
I like doodling with pens that are super fine right now. I skip over attempting any sort of construction or planning and just draw straight ahead. The drawings come out wonky and maybe a bit cold, like the two above, but I like them.
Those two aren't anything new at all, just my same stuff as usual. I think they're kind of cute though.
Some more extra tiny Luna Lovegood doodles! She's so cute.
Ok!! So here is the exciting stuff! I just reread Chris Blain's "Gus and his Gang", and I want to share it with anyone who hasn't seen it yet. These drawings are so beautiful.
Sorry about the lousy scans!
It's probably obvious, but the comic is about cowboy outlaws and their various adventures with crime and women.
Soooo good. I wish so bad I could draw this cool.
I like to hope that eventually I'll start picking up some influence from these comics. I don't like trying to force myself into other drawing styles that I'm not that familiar with though. I mean, it's one thing to push yourself in a new direction and try new things, but trying too hard to purposefully emulate another artist never feels right to me (unless it's just for practice or studying or something). Looking at these, I'm both really excited by the drawings, but also defeated feeling.
Maybe later on I'll post some more about cool comics I like right now, if people like these. There's a lot though.
BONUS PINK! I love this design! I wish I made it up, but I didn't. She's from this other amazing comic, which I'm pretty sure is called "Tete Noire." Go buy it, and get "Gus and His Gang" too! And all the other stuff by those artists! :)
Ok, back to work!
