. . .
Today, I attempted a little clean line illustration. This isn't a style that I typically work with, as you can see throughout this blog. I tend to be a messy artist, and I like being messy in art. However, I do find myself deeply fascinated and attracted to beautifully-executed and clean line art, and I have mad respect for artists who can pull this off. Especially for someone who is so used to messy sketches, I find having to decide on a single neat outline daunting.
However, this proves to be a useful exercise in focused decision-making. Messy sketches leave beautiful impressions, but clean line drawings, though more challenging, leave solid, clear depictions, and when done right, can feel so satisfying.
So my subject? A confused bespectacled man in a Japanese samue. Quite happy with the final product.
So happy, in fact, I decided to have some fun after that.
Like so:
