Creative Boot Camp, day 2

RAR WAH DRAWING IS HARD.

And, can you believe it, all this whine from drawing chibis? I'm trying to do a LotR drawing meme I found on DeviantArt, and I had all these adorable ideas, and I thought "This will be much easier and save a ton of space (i.e. make it possible to draw scenes with multiple characters within the space of the meme template) if I do chibis!" And let me tell you, my friends, blobs of cute are DECEPTIVELY COMPLICATED.

I did an experimental drawing in five minutes on a post-it at work today and I seem to remember it looking much better than the ones that took me the better part of an hour. My hand hurts from drawing, and my neck hurts from craning over my lap with my face three inches from my sketchbook. Maybe I should start drawing on, like, a hard surface or something e_e

I did succeed in drawing a convincing hat on somebody's head for the first time ever, even if it is in minimalistic chibi form.

But you are a very clever elaby who can draw beautifully! Just ask the bouncy Mr D. :-)

I can't even draw stick men properly, so i am pretty much certain that whatever you have drawn is significantly better than anything i could even imagine. Your art always looks beautiful.

B'aww, thank you :) Artists tend to be overly hard on themselves *shifty look* I've gotten over my frustration, thankfully!

You must be getting old. *sporfle* *teasing*

Your chibis are exquisitely adorable, extremely recognizable, and wonderfully detailed.I totally loved seeing them! You're waaaay too hard on yourself.
