Nice, Tim. Love me some Nightcrawler. Interesting about the "people watching" problem. I have it too. I feel like I'm performing or something. Like they're expecting something amazing to happen and it's a lot of pressure. I'm sure it's only pressure we put on ourselves, but it's definitely real.

Cool piece Tim!
I know what you mean about people watching though. Takes me time to get used to it and I never completely do. Hard to do your best work when your focus is divided.

I literally just freeze up. Its wierd because Im not shy in the least. I have no problem with people, crowds, or getting up on a stage and belting out some Karaoke. I just dont know why I freeze up when working. And thanks!!

Heh... I can't stand to be watched either. So I tell them to go away for a while or make them talk to my writer.

i don't like the not being able to look at the people I'm talking to when drawing. and my multitasking skills aren't that highly developed to talk and ink at the same time *lol*
but I like Nightcrawlers head a lot (the facial expression, his hair, the left eyebrow, the ear)
when and why you use the whiteout is also interesting to see

amazing as always..do you use curves on his tail?can i ask a tip if how can i avoid a shaky hand?thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dont think I used a curve on this. I dont take stuff like that to conventions. As for the shaky hand thing, I wish someone could help me with that. I have a lot of problems with that. It usually subsides after Ive been working for a while but it drives me nuts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh i see..but do you use french curve when drawing?hmm..i don't see a shaky lines on you stuffs..perfect lines..im becoming shaky when i draw curve lines, any tips?or it is my hand prob.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When drawing? No. If Im inking a gradation of lines that like 5 inches long I might bust out a curve though.
As for my shaky hands, I recently injured my back pretty badly and, as a result, it looks like I might have some nerve damage. The docs' say it will subside. Lets hope theyre right. You might want to consult a Chiropractor and get your spine checked out. Sometimes neck problems can cause this.

yup..ah ok..
oh that's bad.ihope your ok now..i didn't know that it can cause shaky hand..thanks for the tips Tim..i appreciate that...i'll try..

I hate when people watch me draw, too. I always screw something up and want to just scrape whatever it is - but you've got these people staring at you... I don't know how people can do it...
