Sketches from Exhaustion

I am starting to spend more and more effort on drawing human characters. Primarily because I need considerable practice in that arena, as demonstrated by this page. The pilot is kinda funny, I have no idea what the ball is about, you’d have to ask him, but the rest of the page is an utter disaster.

Why did this page go so horribly wrong? That is a very good question, and one I think about often. Well, not this page specifically but any days work that is less than what it should be. I’ve come to several conclusions;

1) Stress, and mountains of it, hinder creativity and thus stifle the whole process.

2) Emotions in an image are great, but anything outside a calm, collected head is disaster on the page.

3) Some days I just suck, and should walk away and do something else, or at-least not fret over the lack of quality images being created.

Currently I am involved in a new company that is getting ready to launch it’s product. Of course I am the center of all activity for the product, that is the nature of my job. So, consequently there is a great deal of stress, and this comes out in the drawings.

The benefit of doing these sketch sessions right before bed, is that it helps me clear my mind, so that I can go to sleep and wake up rested. Of course that assumes I went to sleep last night, which right now is not a  safe assumption.

On that note, goodnight!
