Chicken scribbles or something more polished, old images or new - it's all treats to the folks who visit your blog; which, by their response, have a range of tastes when it comes to the stuff they like looking at when they do come to visit.<br /><br />Me, I just like drawings. And yours, rough and/or finished, are awesome. Rock on, gal.<br /><br />Eric.<br /><br />PS - this close-up of the image is great. The proportions are different and unconventional and I'm a proponent of both. Her eyes are how I would draw them (which I've been ribbed about in the past as being less 'predator' and more 'prey'). And the wider shot in your latest post is a dream. I hope this current project is consistently keeping you invigorated. Like I said, rock on.KAHNEHTEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960053507361416433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-9208239664224311642007-01-11T13:41:00.000-08:002007-01-11T13:41:00.000-08:00either way you go I know that the results will alw...either way you go I know that the results will always be stellar!

But with a bit more leeway drawings would not be limited to one character as they generally are now, I'd be able to do more environmental work and it would give me the freedom to explore drawing subjects that are new to me... knowing that I'd have time to do several sketches to get it right :)<br /><br />I will definitely still post very regularly. I like having a deadline of sorts. I will also keep up my hour story roughs, because those are meant to be story-board like :)sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736594830061244680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-67507838295139984242007-01-10T23:49:00.000-08:002007-01-10T23:49:00.000-08:00I always like to see all the stages of an artist's...I always like to see all the stages of an artist's work. That's what has really attracted me to the blog community. <br /><br />It used to be such a rarity to see new sketches and works from artists you admire. You had to remember to pick up their new book or find some piece from a fan site. <br /><br />But now I get to see so many great artists produce something new every day. And I find it very exciting to see a loose sketch or phone doodle, because you get an insight to the artist's process. <br /><br />It's tough to put something that's not "finished" out for the whole world to see, but those are the really cool things to see! Post as much as you can, but don't be afraid to post something that is a work in progress.Tony C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06448359569924748595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-90434040634383679482007-01-10T23:02:00.000-08:002007-01-10T23:02:00.000-08:00I do want to take exception with the term "higher ...I do want to take exception with the term "higher quality". All of the things you've posted are high-quality - I love rough sketches as much (sometimes more!) than highly polished and finished pieces.<br /><br />I'm just a visual arts fan and wannabe painter, but I am a real guitarist, so I'll make a musical analogy. Jimi Hendrix studio albums all tend to be extremely produced - tons of overdubs and effects tweaking, and just doing things that can only be done in the studio. His live albums are extremely raw - just a classic power trio playing their hearts out.<br /><br />They're both great - sometimes it's cool to hear Jimi layer six guitar parts in the studio, and sometimes it's cool to hear him make the same song work with one guitar live. In the same way, your 'finished' pieces are cool, but your sketches are just as cool, and not lower quality. They're really just a different expression of the same piece.<br /><br />So, if you go to just occasional posts, I still hope that some of them are sketches, and not finished pieces.<br /><br />My two cents, so do whatever you want - it's your blog! (As long as you keep posting something!)Tysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471097574427732454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-42360345803013311892007-01-10T21:04:00.000-08:002007-01-10T21:04:00.000-08:00Hey, it's your sketch blog.

I personally like seeing the loose sketches or early stages of an illustration (the 'foundation' stuff) but seeing the more polished finshed results is good too of course. No matter what you post or the time frame in which you post...I'm sure your "fans" would appreciate it.

I would love to see your fantastic final work, but I would miss the daily goodness that I have grown so fond of. Thumbnails, roughy roughs, scribbles, marker doodles, scratchels, and napkin drawings are all welcome.<br /><br />You have to be comfortable with whatever the situation may be. I just want to see your work... :)<br /><br />JeremyVanhoozerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379631131703306394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624250.post-77658640118234785222007-01-10T11:33:00.000-08:002007-01-10T11:33:00.000-08:00Non-Daily posts and higher quality art is no conte...Non-Daily posts and higher quality art is no contest to me.

So a hybrid notion like this might work well (regular sketch updates, finished peices every once in a while as they get done).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
