This has been an interesting week. After drawing almost 300 pages of figures since June, I can definitely look back and see the difference between my work now and when I started six months ago. There are now these occasional flashes of brilliance in my line work, but I can never seem to replicate them. I've realized that I need to learn to control my line weight, and by doing that, I'll probably move into my own "style," that elusive thing everyone says I need in order to succeed at art and life.

But that means figuring out what I'm doing right, long enough to be able to do it consistently.

Maybe by the time I've drawn another 300 of these pages I'll be able to say that I actually know what I'm doing 🙄.

Saturday was the first snowfall of the fall/winter season for 2025. In keeping with the theme of being cold, which I was, I decided to draw a bunch of people freezing their arses off.

After all, drawing for animation is all about storytelling and emotion, isn't it? And I have plenty of that right now. Let's be kind and clean and say that winter is NOT my favourite season.

I have six months of snow and cold ahead of me. At least I should have lots of time to draw. 🙄
