\"Cinnamon<\/p>\n

As it says on the tin. Fell down a rabbithole trying to clean up my files prior to doing my art, decided to cheat by posting a sketch I did earlier today, then fell down more rabbitholes since I apparently can’t not experiment with coloring a sketch. For reference, here’s the sketch from earlier, the first entry in a notebook that I hadn’t written in in over 18 years:<\/p>\n

\"Original<\/p>\n

I came across this notebook just trying to find an appropriate notebook for a science idea (my sketchbook is at hand, but the science notebooks are … buried in boxes?? Not sure) and found this one, a “commonplace book” filled with various ideas, including a life review from almost 20 years ago. I’m … actually pretty happy with how things turned out over the last 20 years, between my wife, my novels, my comics and Google, but there’s so much more to do.<\/p>\n

Finally, for reference, here’s a piece of art I found while I was re-organize my files. This is from 24 Hour Comic Day, mind you … a bit ambitious, I think, but this pre-break art I think shows the kind of work that I’m intimidated by when I try to get back into drawing:<\/p>\n

\"Porsche<\/p>\n

Yes, there’s a lot to be improved with this art, but (a) my inking was a lot better, and (b) wow, I had forgotten how much the Porsche St. George character was supposed to be a “knockout”. So much of what I’ve written \/ drawn about her since then has been the workmanlike space warrior stuff, not so much the original romance between the twentieth-century time traveller and the thirtieth-century centaur.<\/p>\n

Ah well. Lots of work to do before I can get back to that level of quality, even though I see a lot of work I need to do to improve upon that once I get there.<\/p>\n

Drawing every day.<\/p>\n
