Of Trolls and Dragons

I’ve been doodling a lot recently. Especially in physics.

Is it really that creepy that I drew the people sitting in front of me?

I think it depends on which people were the people that were sitting in front of you.

ugh, exactly. that’s why i draw with my eyes shut. just to keep out all those horrid outside influences, you know?
and when i get jury summons. i make sure i’ve got my mp3 player in with me to drown out all that relevant information so i can make my judgement based on absolutely nothing at all. same thing when i’m voting. i just drop my pen onto the ballot paper and hope it makes a tick in one of the boxes. heck, i’m reblogging this post with commentary and i didn’t even read it. i have no respect for people who put any research into what they’re doing whatsoever. they’re just gross.

Reblogging for amazing comment.

OP, how…. how do you think master painters work? Illustrators? Do you think professionals at Disney or Pixar or Ghibli work without references? That they’re just magically able to accurately draw architecture and animals and natural looking movement without references?
Using a reference doesn’t mean copying an existing piece of art; that’s just copying. It means researching your subject matter and using your research (often visual) to create stronger, more accurate work. It’s not just “okay,” it’s necessary to attain the level of skill the artists you admire exhibit. These artists don’t generally rely heavily on references for every piece, either. They look up what they need, learn from using it, and are able to absorb that knowledge for use in future work.
This may not change how you and those who share your sentiment feel about it, but I urge you to look a little deeper into what using references really means, as it would appear your understanding of the subject is fairly shallow.

If you haven’t already guessed, I did John’s talking portrait for the latest interactive flash update! Eyes5 did Rose’s, and Sockpuppy did the Dersites/Prospitans. I’m really glad I got the chance to re-do John’s, since my first go at him was a little stiff, I think, and on the small side.
I’ve also been asked a couple times lately if I did any of the older portraits, and I guess I haven’t really posted them anywhere outside the MSPA and Penny Arcade forums, so here you go!

When, when did it become almost the end of the month shguyhurhgujgijuehertg.
I think I remember promising someone I would draw them EriKar for someone’s birthday before the month ended. I hope I’m not too late! I’m sorry it’s so shoddy! And I don’t remember who you were because I am the most fail but I hope you see it!
