I kind of loathe it, really, and I think I use it as an excuse to listen to music, which I can't do when I'm writing.

So I sit there and sketch from photo references--because the only things I'm interested in drawing are people--and I listen to music. Then maybe I get a feeling for the character by the look that turns up on his/her face, and then maybe I get ideas for a scene or something, which I think I did this time, but in the end really all I have to show for the process of drawing itself is Yet another profile-to-3/4 sketch of yet another one of my characters.



Damn. Someday, I swear, I'll do a drawing with, like, actual bodies doing things.

And as for you, well, don't worry too much about me, because drawing's really just a hobby and nothing serious. Writing, too; and yes, even on my worst day in writing hell I am still a much better writer than you will ever be on any of your best days. Tch, no, not you, you ninny. You. Over there in the corner.

Sheesh.

By the by, that's just a sketch, damnit. Didn't do anything with it yet. Am annoyed once more with the androgenous look that I can't seem to get away from. Trying very hard not to make him look like freaking David Bowie, about whom I don't even want to think, never mind draw.
