Sketch of the day: I'd like to finish this in ink so I can work on doing some dramatic shadows—something I'd really like to learn to do.Click to see whole thing.
Not safe for work, if you work in, say, an elementary school, or an art school where they teach perspective and proportions and stuff.

Date: 2011-01-02 09:09 pm (UTC)A few weeks back, I told a panel moderator how much I enjoyed the way he handled the panel and that his voice was just like listening to Ira Glass, and he didn't take it all that well, silly lad :D

Date: 2011-01-02 09:04 pm (UTC)As for the characters talking to you? Oh yea, normal. My good friend who is an author, tells me all the time she has conversations with her characters about what happens next in her novels as they form. :D
The birds in my artwork don't really "talk" to me, I don't think - though I've never noticed or hadn't paid attention. I think maybe they do sort of take on their own personalities (not the best term but going with it), once they are 'done'..
S'all good!

Ah, the fine line we walk with psychosis. And I'll bet there's a real difference between infusing personality into the birds, and an artist who creates a technically correct picture but doesn't see the birds as living individuals. So to speak. They're talking, I'm sure, in their own enigmatic birdy way :)
