Remember me? I used to draw stuff.. and post it… sometimes.
Work ins’t as intense as the last 3 months, I’m guetting to see more sunshine and Spring has sprung.
So I’m in a drawing mood again! Yay!
I’d also like to thank one of my clients for procuring me with an awesome computer that I’ll probably be paying up until the day I die ( lol ok not until I die). No more brush lag!
The drawing above is 1 of the 6 western themed characters I’ll be posting in the next few days. I’ve been helping a friend brainstorm some western themed comic ideas and it’s inspired me to draw some of my own.
I’ve also been contemplating my style. I usually like trying different things, I’m always inspired by an artist at one point or another. I’m constantly incorporating new things – however minute – into my new drawings.
I’m guessing this never really stops and it’s a necessary process in order to experiment.But when does one decide “This is how I want to draw!”?
I still feel like haven’t gotten to that point. Maybe I have and I’ve never noticed. Maybe nobody does.
yeh…i think i remember you.

“Remember me? I used to draw stuff.. and post it… sometimes.”
…Akira Yasuda?
Nah I kid, but it good to see that you now have time to experiment into other artistic styles, most artist usually consider that approach, but end up being contempt in their own style (i.e: IT’S HARD igiveup)!
Also, awesome sketch, though I first though it was Desert Punk at first glance! XD;
Lol if I was Akiman, I’d.. hmmm… I’d make tons of drawings for this one weird guy people call Qiqo. And more Chun li stuff.
Looks awesome, I’ve always loved your original ideas when you post them. (Though I love pretty much all of your stuff so that isn’t really a change)
haha, Thanks a bunch!
Great sketch, lots of energy!
In ref to your comments: I think the bigger problem I’ve had personally is putting together a portfolio that revolves around a specific style. It’s a lot of fun experimenting, and like you pointed out, you never stop learning new things, but deciding on, or in my case sticking with just one style is a nightmare! Way back when I read a very interesting/informative interview with the Rhodes brothers and they briefly touched on the importance of having a clear voice in your portfolio work. It seems like such a no brainer, but that urge to show your ‘range’ by use of lots of different styles can be very jarring for viewers.
Moral of the story: I totally commiserate and sorry for the novel! Ha!
Good point Haha! And it’s not just jarring for the viewers but the artist and (in this case) myself as well!
I often change style depending on the mood/seriousness/setting of what I’m supposed to draw. I still have this “style” issue today even though I know I have some preferences doing certain details certain ways (those will probably always stick). As the Rhodes brothers said, a clear voice is definitely the way to go in order to get the audience to recognize and stick to your work. Aaarg, I wish I could stick to something lol
Also, couldn’t resist slapping down some color. Sorry for not asking ~_~;;;
