slow hand ~ Andrew Ken's sketchbook

[aks9]

Have so many drawings and paintings that I've lost the will to work on, they pile up and take up space in my mind. I think there might be some discipline here in learning to let go of them and allow new creative energy to come in, instead of being "disciplined" and not letting these pictures slide, or maybe I just need to find a more productive and less laborious way to speed up the work on certain sections. A lot of these pieces are ones that I enjoy working on and see potential in but they usually start on very shakey, "stream of consciousness" type compositions, which end up not being all that interesting (although I do believe there is a certain charm that comes from compositions that aren't too highly pre-planned and thought out).

Might start posting some of these abstract pieces in the crit section. I know I'm somewhat of an oddball here in that I'm not into concept-art or entertainment design, but I want my work to still be rooted in fundamental techniques and good draftsmanship, so the same crit logic could possibly apply.

I welcome any crits, especially of this last sketch, thanks :)
