Illustration Friday – Sour

It’s late, this is all I could come up with.

Failed Experiments

I guess when you’re a completely amateur type of artist, you’ve possibly gotta draw about a million not-so-great pictures before you end up with one or two halfway decent ones. Like, with these two things, which are both from a few years ago, back before the art hiatus, I think what I was trying to do was to capture a little bit of a Twins Seven Seven sort of feeling, with marks and lines and patterns all over the picture space. But, you know, instead I just sort of confirmed why I ought to do this kind of imaginary animal subject as cut-out wooden figures instead of as drawings. I mean, sometimes I wish I was one of those horror vacui style of artists, but I think I’m instead pretty content for negative space to stay negative and totally blank. Well, anyway, I still think maybe I’ll eventually end up with a style of some sort. Someday.
