Sketches
Uncle Bubba originated in ~2009. He has his own action figure.
Part of Inktober 2019 or 2020.
I had an epiphany that year, while bedridden, that the subjects of my art were too sedentary, too stationary. And obsessively revised some of them to wander.
One of several Inktober cg sketches created on an Android Samsung Galaxy S1 via nubby stylus & an amazing free app called Artflow.
It's not good and I have a hard time wondering it went so wrong. And the more I worked on it, the worse it got. If it was for a gig, I'd have to start over. These corvid knaves vexed me.
Or rather, they were the only thing working. I think the trouble was that I lazed out on the background and tried to dial it in, then piled on effects as if the sheer mindboggling spectacle of whimsy could dig me out of the trench of lousy forethought. Fool!
Originally started as an oekaki-style doodle, but then I wanted to break the rules of the medium to access the dark magic of opacity controls, and added an ethereal Photoshop caduceus.
her posture is whack. The whole thing is whack. There's enough about it that I like to warrant keeping it, though, and bro, if you were looking for the ultimate perfection, I don't feel like you'd be scrolling the sketchbook section.
I guess the idea is less about "Wow, this artist never makes mistakes" and more about "Wow, this artist has the persistence to fix those mistakes". The latter is the test I'm actually failing here. Who knows. Maybe someday I'll fix it. I ran out of steam on this one.
