So, I'm thinking I'm going to be a little more active going forward.... I guess I didn't realize how much I missed drawing, the community... everything! I sort of tested the water earlier this year, and was taken aback by the sheer number of people welcoming me back with open paws. It was a shock. You furballs are the greatest....thank you so much, it really meant a lot!
Looking back at some of my earliest stuff, I honestly don't think I started out with any real talent. I'm half-tempted to post the oldest drawing of Echo I can find and compare it to now. You thought early Garfield was cringe? This would blow your f*****g socks off.
The only thing I suppose I had was persistence.... and maybe that's all you need? Then again, some of you artists and your perfect line art, color blending and photorealistic detail....yeeaahh, I don't think that's physically attainable. I have the shakiest damn hands, probably because I'm strung higher than an upright piano.
Regardless, I'm going to continue to draw and improve, maybe even start taking on some commissions again here soon.
Just a few thoughts, thanks for reading!

In a way your work always had soul, or atmosphere or whatever you want to call it. That connects with an audience even in rough pencil sketches as far as I can tell.
I am sure if you keep having fun the higher quality will just happen over time through practice. Some of the best artists I know say they have never learned a technique but simply drew for a decade or two.
So, have fun filling scaly bellies, and I am glad you are back.
