I... yam... DEEEAD

Or at least I feel that way. I celebrated St. Patty's Day with my cousin, my sister, and her boyfriend. Long story short, I am never getting buzzed again. One drink per day, max, but only on holidays, and even then only if it's one parts alcohol to nine parts something else.

That aside, I've got a PayPal and I'm starting commissions tomorrow. Keep an eye out for my journal tomorrow for details.

Since I can't edit my previous journal, I'm throwing this feature in here:

I've chose these three not because they're flawless, but because they highlight your progress. This one in particular is good background practice. It's good to fill out the canvas or page, because characters don't exist in vacuums. They exist in environments. And you have a good habit of filling out your canvases, so I'm happy to see that your latest deviation continues that practice.

You can learn a lot from a good reference image. And references are always important, even to comic artists. References have taken you a long way. You've gotten a lot better over the years, especially at faces, as this sketch proves. There's just one thing you can't learn from references: why things are proportioned the way they are. For that you'll need to find tutorial videos and anatomy guides. Trust me, it makes drawing a lot easier. In the meantime, this is a good drawing of Arnold's best role, and great job on the hair!

This is my favorite of your deviations. Good work on the shading, lots of volume. Great depth thanks to the difference between the blacks and the highlights. Hard work adds up! I can tell you were tired by the time you reached her fur wrap, which tells me you saved it for last, but that's good prioritizing. You've got a solid grasp on pencilwork, and you've learned a lot to come this far. Which tells me you'll only get better.

So, next thing is that I'm slowly wearing out my welcome at the house of old family friends. They're great people, I owe them a lot. And they're about to have a family party, so I've got to get off the laptop!

Again, taking commissions tomorrow. Keep an eye out!
