Fanart
More power to those who can draw fanart and actually get it to look like the character while using their own style of art. Seriously. Everything I draw looks so different from the original that I often wonder if anyone can honestly tell who the character is that I have drawn. Sometimes I think people are just being super nice when they compliment my art; I think it looks bad, more often than not.
I've been working on a picture of Sherlock for a few days and pretty much decided to scrap it today. I had started it from scratch, not even using any sketchy line art as a guide. I was proud of it until I started the face.
Now I am redoing that piece with a sketch as a guide. The sketch is still not perfect, but I believe it is better.
I think I should avoid posting things on Facebook for a while, if only because I get compliments I don't think I deserve. I am by no means a professional artist. It's just a hobby, and while I enjoy drawing, there are so many other people out there instead of me who should receive recognition for their awesome talent. :/
Not complaining, really. These are really just my thoughts on this matter. I really am liking this sketch, though. Sherlock is extremely hard to draw. It's a challenge to step outside of my comfort zone like this. :)
