Description project i'm working on...more info to come...when i actually find out of i'm supposed to be putting it up here. but i thought it was kinda useful to put the very FIRST drawings of the characters up here, seeing how they evolve is ALWAYS invaluable and important to me.

i always start off with biro pen, just your normal 'bic' ball point, drives my mum crazy! ha! it's because of the inadvertant lines the pen makes that helps me with the character designs. it always starts out as shapes, then i keep drawing, thinking about the character and his/her personality, sometimes it comes quickly, but sometimes i could be going for several pages before a character takes shape.

there's nothing better in the world when a character stops becoming just shapes and starts becoming a personality!

Weird, the one on the right would look a heck of a lot like me, if he (?) had bangs. Dude in the middle looks like a ham. Not sure about dude on the left.

whoops, I'd no idea that was an Americanism. Attention-seeker, always acting everything out to the hilt, very expressive and loving every second of it = ham.

I love these first drafts, I always think its amazing to see you draw and it start at shapes, I turn round to pour the milk in to the tea, turn back and its a character!
Hehe. it amazes a talentless hack like me.
sigh. Maybe I should write plays like that. just write words and see if it turns in to a play or story or something. hmmmm.

Bed time for me. am starting to spraf poo.
