Back to Basics

        Hello again darlings. I realize that I've been somewhat hiatus with the art work on this blog, which sort of has been rubbing me the wrong way. My art work is the sole reason I made this blog in the first place. I've been really analyzing my technique of cartooning and drawing "Burton-esque" figures. I just recently made these two little gems the old fashioned way; With paper, pencil, and pen. Let me just say, it's really refreshing. I have to say these two have to be the best work I've done in a very long time. I'm very detail oriented and found that specific details were being left out in my previous drawings. they weren't as fun, took longer than they should have for what they show for, and (were good) lacked something.
       Like I said in the past Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors/creators and I really base a lot of my technique off of his. I don't really think I'm copying, but merely creating based-off of. I was very hesitant of doing this style, but I found that it suits me. There are a lot of "cartooners" or "illustrators" that do work that has the same type of aesthetic. For example, on tumblr i've found multiple artists who draw cartoons with the same features; rounded figures, large eyes, etc. I guess I just like this style, so I'm going to cling.
       I also posted my 500 Days of Summer (top) image to tumblr and got quite a response! Which is a good feeling. I think I might continue this "old fashioned" way of using paper and scanning. I'll post again soon, take care!
