Hello all you happy people! I’m hoping you’ve had a better month than I have.
Let’s see. Between it frequently being too hot to sleep, pinching a nerve in my elbow, and possibly having sleep apnea I haven’t gotten a lot done.
Sigh.
While I’ve been struggling, I’ve decided to work on my art. You’ll remember that, ah, my webcomic art isn’t great. So I decided to put Dragon City on hold for a bit while I practice and fix up my left arm. Fortunately, I can draw with just my right. Hold your jokes please.
So I’ll indulge you with some of my practice work!
This is my best interior yet! As you may know, I’m a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series and of Art Deco in general. Dragon City is supposed to ape much of BTAS‘s style but alas, I’m not quite there yet.
So I started scrolling through Reddit’s Art Deco sub. I know, I know. Social media is a disease and all that. But I’m not interacting with anybody or getting into fights, I’m just looking for references. And I found some good ones! This image doesn’t quite match its reference but that’s okay too. I’m very pleased with it.
Do you ever fall in love with a piece of art because of just how bad it is? That’s how I feel with this pic. Just about everything about it is completely wrong. But I don’t know. It’s got kind of a goofy charm to it.
Just like this piece! I mean, I’m getting better. A lot better. But I clearly have some things to work on.
Like, you know, proportions.
This is much, much better. I have a long ways to go, but still. Everyday is an improvement.
Okay, my arm is hurting again so I’ll leave you there.
Hope to see you soon! Bye.
