gonnadrawcomics

I just saw some clips of the anime on you tube...
waaaaay better than the comic

I'm jazzed to draw the characters now
I just wish the writing on the comic wasn't so lame

here's my first shot at Sonic X

i like the one of Tails the best, and Sonic the least; I'll get better at Sonic.

or more of a psychological challenge than a mental one (anatomy)

I just picked up a couple of comics to redraw
latest X-men (Umberto Ramos: one of the best in the super-hero genre at the moment
and um... SonicX
and uh, not just any issue, the latest one: "Valentine's Fray!"
*sigh*
I'm embaressed to type it
it's put out by Archie comics
that's even more embarressing

but its such a simple style, and I'd have none of the anatomy hang-ups with a gig like that
I used to love drawing megaman
I used to love megamanI can draw that stuff
I kinda like it
but the story, its soo corndog lame...
it could be cool, for what it is... but its not.

hmm...
my biggest hurdle might just be my uppity artsy sensibilities

Well, I managed to take it to the counter and purchase it, which was actually pretty painless.

Wow, I've like a ways to go:
weak in so many areas

I think the first step is just tightening up my grasp on general structure
I have lots of problem areas
mostly around joints
like arms connecting to torso, thighs to legs, thighs to hips...
just on and on

so I guess I'll just pour over my general figure drawing books, meditate on masterful artists, sketch, with pen, and look at anatomy ref photos

I'll do this for about a month (or less if I get to feeling really confident)
