I know, I know, all this past week there have been memes flooding the internets with adorable horned alligators. You’re probably already sick of them but you know what? Glen loves himself a good trickster god so I had to run with it. Now we get to sit back and see how long it takes before Disney sues us. *innocently whistles*
The Making of Glen
So for the past week I have been watching all sorts of tattooing videos hoping to learn enough to become a proper artist and maybe do some sort of creative endeavor that actually pays some bills. It’s interesting because it’s a completely different art form from comic design but weirdly I can still apply some of the lessons I have learned from both. For a while now I haven’t really enjoyed drawing Glen as much as I used to because I always felt I could make it somehow better – more realistic looking. And although I still want to achieve realism I realize now that I should do so when doing other projects. The beautiful thing about comics is they’re simple – they get to the point with the least amount of details possible and that’s good! So today when I drew the squirrel I didn’t give his tail individual hairs, nor did I give anyone fingers and toes on their paws because I realized I didn’t have to and it wasn’t adding anything to the piece. So for now laziness wins!
