Sketches of the day: May 2011
Last May, surrounded by my pen horde but unable to draw a comic, or really much of anything except feet, I challenged myself to do 10 drawings of ANYTHING every day. An object on the table, a character from a French comic (Lou! by Julien Neel, Kheti: Fils du Nils by Dethan & Mazan), more feet. This lasted about five days.
I only posted a handful of pencil drawings from that attempt, to show a comparison of fancy pencil brands. In the current spirit of posting the stuff I was planning to throw out, here’s most of what I drew last May.

I really like the girl in May 1 “X” drawing; she could be an inspiration for a story.
Seriously, you do such nice work. I admonish you to be kinder to yourself. <3
If it’s any help, I do think, now, that the art isn’t as completely trash-worthy as I thought when I drew it last May. Most of it, anyway 🙂
May 1 X chick is a loose rendition of one of the characters from Big Project. So, since I’m not doing that project, I suppose I can do anything I want with all those character designs. A lot of the pages weren’t completely trash-worthy, either. I need an idea for what to do with them other than post them here now and again. There’s scads of stuff I haven’t posted here yet; literally hundreds of drawings/pages/pencils/rubbish…
