Like I said here
camac.deviantart.com/art/Drago… I've always loved drawing. As a kid I wanted to be a cartoonist and even now it seems like that would be a pretty sweet life to live but I don't really feel like I have the drive for it anymore. This past week I've been trying to change that. I've been forcing myself to draw for an hour a day, yeah forcing. I have all sorts of great ideas (well great to me
) but when I go to put them down on paper, well rather draw them out on the computer, I can't seem to do it. One day I finally just end up doodling instead of trying to create something great and that's when I have the most fun: drawing silly cartoons.
It annoys me! Really. I mean... I want to be able to create an epic picture like this:
velinov.deviantart.com/art/Hyd… or this
gh-graphics.deviantart.com/art…or create something fun and quirky like this
asawaki.deviantart.com/art/Wha… and this
khorosho.deviantart.com/art/te…or something with a ton of character and style like this
pascalcampion.deviantart.com/a… and this
dchan316.deviantart.com/art/Ch…In the end what I create are just silly cartoons. Sure that's fine and dandy but at times I feel like one of those comedians who make comedy after comedy and then one day decides to try their hand at making a serious drama and fail. I set out to make a epic (or at least in my mind epic) picture but rarely get past the sketch phase. Those drawings that do make it to the inking or outlining phase end up just illustrating to me how bad the drawings are without the sketchy messy line work to hide the bad anatomy and perspective. hah. I dunno, maybe I'm going about it all wrong.
So I'm stuck a cartoonist. This past week I have been trying to create serious and fun pictures only to realize I really don't enjoy anything past sketching. Refining the sketch, coloring, shading, its annoying. So I'm stuck heh. I don't want to be stuck doing just cartoons though, I mean I love that and its easy and fun to draw a silly cartoon to make myself or others laugh but once in a while creating something that gets a "WHOA" or "Thats beautiful" would be nice. Honestly I'm not going to hold my breath anymore but I'll try again once in a while.
On another note, I think I'll upload all my Godly Chicken comics here now that I don't really have a website anymore. Well I'm out of here.
