Description
Tonight I went back to drawing with an ink pen like I did many many many moons ago. Each figure probably took about 1-3 minutes to draw, but the masks took a while longer. What I wanted to gain was to not over think the drawing. I tend to over think my work often. Tonight was an exercise to draw without fear of messing up, and getting a perfect line.Hope y'all digs!

I gotta try that sometime. I bet it feels pretty liberating not being afraid to mess up. I know that's what sometimes stops me from drawing altogether.

If you ever get your paws on a PSone or an emulator try Crash Team Racing. It's as addictive as Mario Kart

Lines are the death of me.. Honestly It's like I've got selective-Parkinsons. When ever I pick up a pen my hand starts shaking. I'd love to see a tutorial from you on how you mastered line drawing.
Anyway, it was great to see these three minute pictures. It was very informative to see what you draw under a time limit. I can see how your process builds... well I'm starting to see.

These are awesome, man! Looks like you had fun doing these. It often happen to me that the drawings with a lot of planning behind them ends up looking really stale, but the ones I just do for fun really.. I don't know.. keeps the fun? You know what i mean?
Anyway, I really like how big the masks are. It gives them this kinda toony feeling.
