Character Sketches

Thu Feb 28, 2008, 8:32 PM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Dashboard - Modest Mouse
  • Reading: The Metamorphosis - Kafka
  • Drinking: Green Tea
I noticed something lately that had never occured to me. I have gotten, perhaps, TOO good at drawing people.

Let me explain. When I was younger I always knew one or two people who were AMAZING at figure drawing and character work in general. So, whenever I had designed a new character, I'd bug them to draw my characters as well. And it was always something cool, because they could get my characters across better than I could.

Except... now that person is ME. I'm the best one of anyone I (personally) know at drawing people. I have friends who are also very good, but they are not better than myself. Their styles are different, which could provide for some interest, but if I ever want to see my characters done better than I myself could do, I'd need to a) make them popular enough to entice fanart or b) pay for a commission.

Damn.

(ON bright side, am writing! Oh, and my character drawings DO rock when I get off my lazy ass and draw :p)
