Thanks man, I do make an effort these days to push a drawing as far as I think I can before going digital. It just makes everything that much more than if I only had a base sketch to go off. I am looking into my job options.
I don't do studies, compositions or thumbnails, or if I do it's very rarely and often never to completion. I start a thing and roll with it. Lately it's been bothering me a little, that no matter how much people like it I know it was never intentional and as to working professionally - I need to learn how to control and implement my skill so that it can be profitable. I'm still vague as to what area. I know this forum is primarily for concept artists, but I'm no concept artist... An illustrator maybe, a writer-slash-artist. Who knows bro. Colour? mebe... We'll see...

Appreciate the pep talk bro. Boundaries is actually a good word for it. A concept I really need to take under wing. I've had the talk with others about learning to say 'No' but often I do things because I enjoy them, it's just those I do them for often take it for granted and soon take advantage of it. Boundaries... I'll think on it.

Anywho, here's a sketch for my next (hopefully full colour ) painting. Everyone's been commenting with gothic art nouveau, and macabre mucha so I figured fuck it. Embrace it. Lines n soft edges both, bruh.
It's a new method. Watercolour paper, sketch, using graphite powder in places, matte medium and then some white oil paint which, when scanned, ads quite a bit of texture of its own. It'll be good to see how it turns out.
