It occurred to me yesterday that for all the times I posted this as a work in progress, (or whatever) I never posted the final!

So here’s that.

Also woah, this is from 2010.

2//52.

(I started this last night so it counts as being drawn during the second week of 2012 shh shhhh it’s all good.)

Mila! Because I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of drawing pretty faces, and she clearly qualifies.

Okay, so I seem to have some sort of aversion to the concept of ‘easing’ back into drawing. My drawing modes are ‘ten minute scribble then I cry because it’s horrible and I assume I can’t draw anymore’, or ‘six hours of neurotic perfectionist attention to detail’ (even when I intended this to only be a rough sketch??). I guess it could be worse?

On an artisty note, while this isn’t quite fully realistically coloured, I consider it a huge personal improvement that I painted it this way in Photoshop and not in grayscale and I didn’t have to edit the fuck out of my original colours to get it like this or anything. I just had a decent palette from the start which is rare for me. Yay!

1//52. Because you all seem to really like my face.

You all know I’m really neurotic right? So I can just skip the part where I type a block of text describing my creative process (i.e. “oh shit oh shit what am I doing I can’t draw anymore this is the worst aaaaaaaah hey this isn’t so bad”) and get straight to the part where I say that I drew something! And I don’t totally hate it! And that’s pretty cool! Okay good.

In black and white.
