I would lean more towards artists that define the form correctly and with accuracy, versus those that distort it or bring it more into abstract shapes. Look at people like Gary Frank and Steve Rude, for instance. <br /><br />I admire your efforts and your goal, however. I've always felt that what stops most adults from drawing is the misconception that they no longer have the capability to do so. Like anything, you can teach yourself with practice and hard work.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912087467973939642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-30953198116214691702011-01-13T22:30:33.174-05:002011-01-13T22:30:33.174-05:00GARY PANTER GARY PANTERGARY PANTER GARY PANTERMatt Senecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829387617100854532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-9893515269890633342011-01-06T04:23:36.539-05:002011-01-06T04:23:36.539-05:00Very good improvement and intresting path Tim!

My back hates you. My hair remains indifferent.<br /><br />I've been rereading Elektra Assassin, so I vote for Sienkiewicz. <br /><br />That'll give you more appreciation for Deadpool MAX, since Baker's been riffing on that series' look. You can appreciate John Garrett more in Secret Warriors, too.Bruce Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846693035012897076noreply@blogger.com
