Finally getting round to doing these!!!!
First of all, a big apology for not getting round to this sooner. Fundamentally my excuse is that I hit an art block, or rather I lost my confidence in my own skill and felt bad drawing requests for you all with what I felt wasn't my best, so went back to drilling figures and faces and whatnot.
Partly this was caused by my drawing spree on holiday, which made me quite aware of my lack of skill level in a bunch of areas. Fortunately the block is almost gone now, helped a lot by my new working ethic of WIPs, and being able to split my work up if necessary.
Up until now, almost all of my pieces have been drawn in one session, often with no break at all (given that most of my pieces took less than an hour or two that's not so hard to imagine). But this left me with the feeling that I
always needed a whole block of 1-2 hours free all in one go to do these requests, which I didn't always have, and this was holding me back.
After sorting out my WIPs and unfinished drawings, I started to finish them off, which made me realise that I could start a drawing, add it to my WIP pile, and finish it later, or half finish it and put it back into the pile again. Which then made me realise I can do that to a request as well, and I can do random sketches in between starting and finishing it, on different days.
So here is my current WIP for WalterB. I wont post WIPs normally but it goes nicely with my explanation. I left it more sketchy so the finished one will look really good in comparison haha
