Nasty


As happy as I was with yesterdays drawing I was really disappointed with this one. It was my last drawing of the day and I was so excited about the previous one I couldn't resist having another go, I got caught in two minds about this one, was tired, hot and had to rush because we were on our way back to the airport. It all made for this insipid looking sketch which I thought about not posting but then again, as I mentioned yesterday, in the attempts of full disclosure I thought you might find it interesting. We learn from our mistakes.

You are too hard on yourself. The perspective of this sketch is right on the money. I wish that I could draw like that (sigh).

Hans Jenssen Illustration said...

I predict a whole string of fully justified comments all agreeing with Bob. I agree with Bob too, and Fraser of course.

Now this! is what I like to see.

And read.

Thanks guys, I really didn't enjoy this one but that's going to happen from time to time. I think I've put a word verification device on the comments from now on. How many penis enlargement adds do I have to endure.

Hans Jenssen Illustration said...

I myself have been targeted by those penis enlargement people. How the hell did they find out?

Munich Newman said...

Aaaaah, you mean other people get these ads too.
Hans, didn't Janine tell them in your case?

Steve, I agree with Bob and Hans I was obviously only joking yesterday, though would now like to make that official. You are a brilliant star. I am grateful and impressed that you blogged one you aren't pleased with. Good man.

Stephen Gardner said...

I was starting to get paranoid about the penis thing.

Fraser, I posted the bad one for you and I have another one that will be coming your way soon.

I agree with the others...you are too hard on yourself. I really like this sketch. Maybe because you were so happy with the previous one nothing else could measure up? Your sketches are all terrific and I also just love the Venice Beach one. It makes me want to go back there.

Sonya said...

Oh and another thing....i get those spam ads too! I changed mine to not accept comments from anonymous posters and I haven't had one since!

Steve, you leave much desired in the "full disclosure" (read: mess-up) department. I did have a hunch you would be a total disappointment.
Though, I would find it inspiring to see some real bloopers. the ones which you are tempted to tear out or scribble out.

Stephen Gardner said...

Sonya, thanks and also thanks for the spam advice, I,m going to be keeping an eye on the spam situation.

Moish, I will post some more disasters, I do have plenty to share.
