Yessss.....

Well. It's...been a while.

Lately, I've been focusing on publishing and expanding my webcomic, Nevertheless (www.nevertheless.smackjeeves.com). It has been both a great and frustrating experience, what with planning it and writing it and drawing it and putting it up on my hideously ugly website (I, um, need to fix that....). It's been big, and it's been.....well, it's hard to explain.

At any rate, I don't know how often I'll update this blog (not that anyone will read it), but I still stand by my goal to at least try to update it as frequently as I can.

Which will not be often. (Cough.)

At any rate, thank you and all that. Tootles!

Cartoons Are Wonderful

Just finished this today! Took me about 45 minutes. (does it show? :3)

Ahh. Drawing cartoons is very relaxing. It really takes the pressure off on you to make something look as realistic and awesome as possible (not that cartoons aren't awesome!). It gives you a chance to just fool around, have fun, draw something absolutely ridiculous. You can also use it to experiment with your style a bit. Very fun!

And of course, some cartoonists have a gorgeous way of drawing, as is evidenced by the style of Yuko Ota in the webcomic Johnny Wander (check out johnnywander.com - it'll be worth your while), or the style of Lucy Knisley (um....well, she wrote a book called 'French Milk' and has a website somewhere...meh, just Google it. You'll find her.)

Maybe someday I'll write a highly detailed blogpost about the amazingness of cartoon drawing, but right now I am lazy and tired. Yawn. Away with ye.
