Back to the basics. . .

So, I figured out why I was (and still am) having a hard time drawing a certain pirate. It's simple really. I am very much out of practice when it comes to drawing.

Between the injured wrist, the stress and the not-break for Christmas I haven't had the time to sit down and draw when i want to and what I want to. And when that happens, i kinda forget how to draw and then it frustrates me and I whine and complain until i realize I just need to step back and practice once more.

And keep reminding myself that it will come back if I can just relax and go with it. So, I'm going to post what art i can (even if i feel it sucks) because that will make me feel like I'm actually doing something and will hopefully let me relax and let my skills come back.

Man, I'm a high maintenance little artist aren't I?

At least I know it though.

So, now onto the first piece of bad art ^___^;





*shudders*

I am so lucky to have wonderful loving people that put up with me. *snuggles* And I WILL get this bastard right(and actually looking like himself) because there is one big picture I wanna do sometime later on in the year. Wish me luck? Please?

Well? I'm waiting for the bad art. I don't see any yet.

*hugs* I'm glad you figured out your solution, though. And the shading in the sky behind him is awesome!

Yeah, the colouring is actually really nice in some places. The sky and the sash around his waist make me happy, but well, I'll figure out how to fix the stuff i don't like as i go along and do my best to continue to just have fun.
