Some Figure Stuff and some sketchbook stuff.

Two Drawings

So, I'm annoyed and depressed by my own blog and so I am now posting a couple drawings from my sketchbook to lighten the mood.

Devil Concept

So this is a page from sketchbook where I am working out ideas for demons, devils, imps, whatever. I was trying to come up with a devilish creature that would run around and screw things up.

Pros: Some interesting ideas produced, never went with the storyline that required them so these never got used, though in the future they may.

Cons: Not really all that original, or that intersting. Designs are rather bland, not much character. The devils don't seem to have their own life or vitality/personality which is a huge problem.

Corporate Practices

Alright. Pros, I think it's a nice, clean, little drawing that is pretty funny and visually interesting.

Cons, It needs to be touched and inked, the hands are obviously off, the arms don't have as much structure as I'd like and the right guy's head is....weird.

I don't like critiquing my stuff online, I mean, I know that I chose to do this and no-one will ever see this most likely but still, if someone were to stumble across this site and see the drawings and think they were okay but then read my critiques they would be like, "Yeah, he's right, these do suck, I'm not coming back to this losers site!"

So that's that.

Annoyances

I like this image, I think it's gets across the message I was trying to achieve. True the draftsmanship is not perfect but it is a sketch...

I suppose I am of two minds of this and I seem to be facing this problem. To me, this image works, it has the feel I want and I don't want to waste my time cleaning it up etc.

On the other hand, I know that I would probably not really look at this if I was a casual viewer, it's not finished, it's rough and takes work to see what's going on. But I'm lazy and I don't want to work on it anymore, because that's all it will be, work, it won't be enjoyable like the initial sketch was, thus my dilemma.

The begining.

Post 1.

I like it because it's a half decent drawing, by my abilities at least.

I dislike it because the lines don't serve the image, they are too sketchy. The face should be better defined, the arm is stock, the chair is 2d looking and I really suck at hair.
