Now I understand why I keep seeing old work uploaded by the Deviants I watch. Every time I have to find something on my computer I shake loose old art. Usually I just let old pieces stay in the past. I cease to be excited about an illustration as soon as it's done. I just move on. But there's a lack of color work on my front page, and I'm holding what I'm working on pretty close to my chest right now soo.... Here's some old work.

This is something I did for caricature class a long time ago. My teacher kept trying to complicate it. I stuck to my guns. The only real failing I see is that it looks like it's a digital piece pretending to be organic instead of really feeling organic. That's my big problem with photoshop... It begs people to waste days, even weeks sometimes trying to make digital paintings feel authentic by layering textures and making goofy brushes when ultimately it would be quicker and easier to just whip out some paint and do it for real. At school the facilities closed super early so if you wanted to paint you would have to take the time to set up your paints 2-3 times a day so I ended up relying on ps for that reason. Now I'm in Norway and the only art tools I could manage to bring were my computer and some general drawing stuff. I find myself relying on Photoshop again despite my general distaste for it.

Anyway... That's way more words than this piece deserves.
