Obsession #1: Comic Art/Graphics

Personally, I love the drawing styles used for comics. It's usually all so very precise, and well, I wish I could draw the same way sometimes. But I have issues with actually drawing characters (apparently I can't draw the same figure more than once. Totally sucks). I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, so I beat myself up with trying to draw like professional artists all of the time. Good news, it's become quite difficult for me to even find a "how to draw" book that can show me something new. Well, that isn't really good news, that just means I need to find another, and probably more expensive, way to learn new drawing techniques. But anyway, before I get off topic.... I've been quite bored these past days, so I've resorted to trying to draw comic-style art (again, technically). This is mainly going to be about, well, my "journey" through drawing styles, or even types of art, and if I can get my scanner to work, I might even post some pics of my artwork. Yay? Well, so far, my "comic inspiration" has come from select comics. Mostly, Zatanna. And yeah, you're probably like, "why do I care?" Well, if you're a guy, you can look at the nice artwork (it involves badass sexy chicks that are usually wearing just enough to make you think about... inappropriate things that you shouldn't be thinking about) Girls, well, you can look too, or laugh at the idea of guys stare at their computer screens like idiots? If it's your boyfriend you even have an excuse to knee him in the cubes. I don't know. You pick :P

Zatanna

But yeah, Zatanna is some of my inspiration, simply because I'm trying to draw a character quite similar to her. So far, I've spent more time crumpling up paper and throwing it around my room. I'm better at drawing male figures, honestly. Drawing girls is very delicate. A few more pictures that have me chewing pencils in frustration....

Witchblade
Danger Girl

Storm


Well, don't get too excited guys. Heh, well, I was going to upload some of my own work for you all to see, but apparently I have to go through this whole process of uploading it to a photo-sharing site and whatnot. So maybe another time? Or at least in another post, since I'm already tired of typing (fail).
