Hi everyone!

ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ

*** I decided to experiment more with my drawing and work on drawing without references. This series that I'm starting called, Stranger Things, is supposed to be more cartoony and of course, strange. While in the past I did draw things that were cartoony, I did make attempts to make them a little more realistic. It's definitely something I'm not used to and even makes me a little nervous because I've always felt that "good art" is one that either closely depicts life or has some aspect of lighting and shading to give it a more 3-D look. So, drawing something that looks more 2-D almost feels like a step backwards, but it is a step forwards in attempting to change my perspective of "good art". ***

Digression: Where do I put it all?

I expect it to pile higher because I do plan to do more art on canvases... but I think my biggest concern is figuring out how to preserve the edges of the artwork on marker paper.
