Being good at bad art can be confounding

See, here’s the problem.

I really love drawing, but I’m really not that good at it. I really enjoy it, I usually enjoy my end results, but sometimes it’s really frustrating.

I drew this little guy last week, but he was only intended as a preliminary sketch for my small Doctor Who Monsters series. After I drew him, I used tracing methods and freehand methods and none of my follow-ups look as good yet.

It’s very, very difficult for me to do accurate recreations of things when I draw them, whether I’m drawing from an original or freehanding based off of a sketch. There is a strange and fundamental disconnect between my eyes, my brain, and my hand when it comes to replicating things. So be it.

I’ll revisit him later, I’m sure, but for now, please enjoy my sketch version of
