Doodles - I made a comic about my artblock/burnout

Published: August 28th 2024, 3:35:13 am

I've been messing around with traditional media and had some version of this comic in my head for awhile so I went ahead and made it lol. Last pic is the page with no edits so you can see my scrungly work. I used a fountain pen and dip pen with inks.

I'd kinda been toying around with the idea of moving to traditional for coloring; I don't think it's as immersive as digital color but I find it a lot more textured and interesting. One of my big pain points in my art is color, selecting color just doesn't click in my brain, but having limited color always helps me a lot; plus, the chaotic nature of inks to just move around how they want and interact with each other is really interesting to me. I don't know yet, I think it might add too much to my workflow, since I would still want to ink digitally (you can see how many mistakes I make haha) plus my shitty phone camera chews it all up when I photograph it.

I have another batch of doodles selected that I've been working on, I hope I can post those soon! I also read a little bit of Berserk so I kinda wanna do Berserk art now... I think folks have requested it before, but I will have to search through the old requests to see.

As always, thank you for your patience with me!
