I'm having kind of a crisis with my artwork. Being so easily discouraged, I haven't ever put a lot of effort into it, but all the random sketches and avatars and uncontrollable doodling in class have wrought bit-by-bit improvements. But now my style is in this dead zone, where everyone looks the same and nobody shows very much expression. And no matter how much I refine the style, those problems are going to persist. So I need to either get more cartoony or more detailed, and either one will be a pretty conscious choice.
Basically, I'm pre-emptively confessing to a couple months of mimicking the shit out of
Matt Rhodes to see what happens. Sigh.
I did draw a really good pair of lips today, which cheered me immensely. It's the little things in life.
