Vámonos

I’m beginning to suspect that painting manly, squinty, scowling men in great detail for hours at a time in bad on my skin. You see, I have this odd habit of getting really emotionally involved in the facial expressions of the drawings I’m working on. Most of the time, they are unreferenced and have to occur naturally within my imagination. I want the guy to look like he’s convincingly sneering at the audience, so I have to feel it as well. This manifests itself on my own face.

That’s right; I squint and sneer while I draw, because I unconsciously feel it helps me draw it better.

This is something I should probably stop given I now do most of my drawing in a crowded office

(Have a bad old drawing of a naked dude riding a giant bunny)
