Ugh

I suppose I should be glad to be able to say I am working on something. This last week or so seems to be about two things. One, I have been meaning to push the comic art a little just so I know it can work. I figured I could take a month and focus (such as I can) on that. The main issue here is to both become comfortable with the genre and develop a solid style wich presumable will go hand and hand with my aforementioned comfort. This involves being non-critical in the period of development as well as unapologetic of any outcome. In other words, it is what it is.
The second issue is the loosening up and leaving my comfort zone for art projects. The sketch book is great for this. It allows the chance to work on stuff with out pressure of an outcome. It is also a place to return to and rework pages, a great place to experiment and hone techniques.
Beyond the venue of the sketchbook the comic art focus allows me to work without models and references in a way I have NOT been doing. So I am hoping to free up both my hands and my mind in the coming weeks.
Case in point the Spiderman pic is not so very bad and one done without reference. I wish though I took a before pic of the drawing which was sub par at best, regardless of your opinion of the over painting.
So here I am working both on painting techniques and subject matter all at the same time.
I have other stuff in the book that I took the before of so that'll come soon.
