The Very Sketchy Sketch Days

Journal Entry: Mon May 19, 2008, 5:26 PM
Recently, I've been putting up sketches in the Scraps gallery.

I noticed a long time ago that I draw a lot, yet only about one percent of the pictures ever make it into the final stages and get posted up in deviantArt.
I learned recently that I shouldn't be uploading only the things that I really like, because then I would become lazy when I start feeling I can't seem to draw anything. Sketches are made during these times, but I don't feel they are all that great.

Sure, I had put up a lot of things in Scraps before, but it was only because:
  1. I didn't really feel like working on them any further, yet I still liked them.
  2. They are WIP pictures, or
  3. They were part of the main gallery, but I disliked them later on.


  4. I plan on uploading at least three sketches in the Scraps gallery per week, unless I'm really tight on schedule or I'm working on a picture that will actually go on my main gallery.

    Okay.

    Expect more smut, though.

Makes me want to upload a lot of the sketches I made into my scraps. They aren't great, but perhaps someone will enjoy them. :shrug:


I'll check your Scraps!

As long as it's art, I'm not complaining! =D

I have an idea to draw one day, then I try it and it pretty much gets dropped shortly there after...

I'll try and check them out then. All sorts of hidden treasures end up in peoples' scraps...

Sketches let you explore more freedom of styles and different subjects. I need to draw more too. :D

Smmmmmuuuuutttt.

Smutty Smutty Smut-smut.

Yeah, as anthropomorphic artists, we tend to neglect our sketchbooks. I know that atm, I'm starting a lot of artwork and leaving them unfinished, but that's 'cos I'm pining a tablet. :\

It's definitely insightful to use the sketchbook. It may even convince you to finish some of the uploaded sketches so that everyone can see the finished product. :D
