New Post, Old Drawings







Whaaaaat?!?!  I came across my old sketch book and lo-and-behold, I was a better artist then!! It's from 2002 and I think I cared more then to get the lines right, to complete the anatomy, and to get facial expressions down.  I was in a drawing class with an amazing teacher, Glenn Vilppu.  I worked less.  How many other excuses can I come up with?

Now I look at my old drawings, and I don't see the flaws as I did when I was drawing them.  I am the king of self-criticism!  What I do see is the imagination I tell myself I lack.

Glad it was there in 2002!  Now I need it for 2008!!

Here are some examples.  More to come in the next post.

Those are wonderful!
Makes me want to sketch more myself.
So true about the inner critic getting in the way. It's like a backseat driver.
Glen is/was amazing.
One of those guys who could make a lifelike figure with a few lines.

Thanks for sharing 'em.
