Cat Got My Tongue
April 3, 2006
When I can't write, I doodle even though I'm not one for the talent. My art teacher always scolded me for pressing the pencil down too hard; she complained of my penchant for darkness, especially after a particularly insane sketch of an animal skull. What can I say? I was younger and thought myself to be a rebel of some kind, when in fact, I was not. I don't need to mention that I never did prosper in the subject.
Inspite this, here goes. If you look at them at an angle and in quick succession, they look like suppository victims. Comic.

If these are doodles, it’d be great to see what you would come up with if you spent time on doing a real drawing or painting. You definitely have the talent.

Doodle was an understatement, I did spend some time on those. I don’t know how to handle paint, just HB’s, so I think that’s as good as it gets!
Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it. I would love some constructive critisism though, what can be improved, or if you hate it, or anything. This would apply to my writing on any post, not just this one.

Great stuff prose…My teachers used to tell me the exact same thing about holding the pencil too hard, Fuck that. Its awesome the way you capture that feeling of anger and frustration in the features, I especially like the first one cuz you get that same feeling with the eyes being closed, thats really impressive cuz its the eyes that really give away the emotion. The fact that the emotions are expressed purely through the facial features is a real feat.
You said you didnt like using paint… why use it then?
try messing about with different mediums..
Great stuff…now go do some more!

What is it with art teachers and graphite hatred?
Different mediums: I messed about with acrylics once, but it was a disaster. I used to like the soft chalk, I wonder if I can find my old set.
Thanks! I will do more, time permitting cuz I’m not quitting my day job!
