Taking a little time out the past couple of weeks to look at and anylize my creative process. Trying to think outside of the box in several ways. You see... you can't grow as an artist if you continue to go about things the same way over and over. You have to experiment with new tecniques, styles, and the way you think about things in order to hone your skills and step up to the next level.
I have really been doing this a lot lately. Sometimes I find a cool new inking tecnique and sometimes I learn not to do that again, but the main thing is, I'm learning, growing, and maturing to the next level. Everyones taste is different and Indie comics to me is where you get to see fresh new styles and concepts. Great stories are just as important but the art is a big influence to many fans.
My biggest experiments at the moment are anylizing every line and thinking if I truly need it and if the art really benifits from me using it. Trying to keep it simpler by using less linework and also adding solid blacks to my work. Shodow work can be a tricky thing so I have been focusingon that too. Sometimes overdoing it but learning non the less. It's all a journey and you have to keep moving trying new things to reach your goals. I'll be trying a lot of new things with my art. Until next time.
