Down, Down-forward, Forward + Punch (ups and downs, sometime you move forward and throw a punch as well)

So it's not all bad, managed to turn my downward spiral into a casual Sine curve.

Anyway not alot to write, so I'll upload some drawings instead. It's mostly quick sketches which aren't supposed to be finished or cleaned up, just bum bum bla bla next... (the red lines in these quick sketch/studies are usually traced - when I stumbled over something I just can't understand I try and trace the referance and compare, sometimes that helps me spot where my biggest mistakes lies)

I did some cartoonish drawings for a friend as well, which tbh are those which turned my mood. They forced me way outside my comfort zone and I was 99.9% sure that it wouldn't be something that I would be able to finish, but turned out even with big frustrations and doubts I sorta enjoyed making them...

Kinda annoyed with this coloring, but I just don't know wtf I'm doing when it comes to combosition, coloring... lines, shapes, forms... shit I never know wtf I'm doing. :)

And some... filler stuff, Tinker Pin-up just 'cause and a failed attempt to draw my old Undead Priest from WoW - didn't know wtf I wanted with it so just turned into some dark buhu shit. I really need to have a clearer vision wtf it is I want to do before I start, I'm not good at just hoping for some idea to spark while I'm working.

Okay 'nuff talk.

More quick sketches and a squirrel… (the logic boat sailed a long time ago)

The squirrel started out as just a quick sketch. I was staring at it for ages trying to find a starting point, but as something new I started out with a square to fit the little dude in, which prolly isn’t the worst idea, just to avoid that annoying moment where you discover you drawn the entire thing way too big to fit the paper… yes that happens… more often than it should -.- Anyway after that I finally saw the starting shape which is the circle the tail and head/hands makes, after that it was just business as usual.

 When I was “finished” I kinda wanted to spend some more time on it though, not sure why, but it was interesting on some level. I just continued to loosely sketch some extra details down, nothing major, but at some point I got the bright idea that the background should be ALL black and using a pencil for that would be too much…  so why not a little charcoal, what’s the worst thing that could happen…?

… Yeah… some quick lines and… OMFG!! Why did I do this?! CTRL+Z CTRL+ZZZZ - OH FFS!
Sigh - it looked fucking stupid, the coal didn’t match the pencil sketch at all and the whole thing was just… no… no no no.

It took me ages trying to balance and correct what I could. I don’t really like how the fur looks, but I don’t know a way to make it work or “simplify” it though.

The rest are the standard weird quick sketches of random things from my stock folder ^^

The shark was kinda fun though, I started out with the body and it looked stupid, it made no sense at all, so added the back fin and… side fins? Which only made it look like a freakish Mola fish, but after I draw the tail fin in it was *puff* a shark – it’s so fucking funky how our brain works, one simple little detail and “oh yeah, now I see what the retard is trying to make…” - oh yes, that’s an actual inner dialogue… or it could be at least :P

I prolly should do a lips/mouth study soon... "tomorrow..."
