Voodoo: Hey thanks man I really appreciate you stopping by. Yea, I need to thumbnail and plan more, it's always been a weakness of mine. Maybe sit on ideas for a while even, since I think I made a mistake not going with that more towering composition. It's good that this is becoming the central problem now as opposed to my perspective and stuff being totally fucked lol. and yea, make pretty stuff for clients and your folio and scribble and figure shit out on your own time.
Anyways I made a bunch of studies of fingers today because I wanted a better at constructing them. Hogarthe has a cool method that he never really describes but I can pick up on it looking at his work. Basically, use simple cylinders, but then add these curved bones and then solidify the perspective with these long tendons that run through the fingers into these bumpy knuckle shapes.
I need to work more on figures, and get comfortable to where I can draw them in decent poses without too much scribbling and add coherent faces (that aint too small.) of course I could do it in pencil, but I want the confidence to execute in pen since I'll know for sure I understand what I'm doing. I really want to be fast as fuck like with high quality, and I'm willing to grind those shapes and suffer to make it work even with an unforgiving medium like pen. But it's fun and feels like I'm getting shit done.
Also wanna practice with marker more since I notice my lines are unhinged when I go to do caricatures. Just working on the same shit but developing a better handle for it, since the size of the line massively changes.
