# nifty tutorial
i think i might get back into doing some freehand sketching in the near future too... either that or i will start scanning in my old stuff and retouching it and colouring it

# i was really tempted to retouch
the above sketch - in fact I had done, I'd moved the features around to the correct positions and everything in photoshop... but it felt like cheating so i didn't save it
edit: i'm not saying theres anything wrong with retouching though, just avoiding it on my own stuff for a bit

# i don't consider retouching cheating
as long as i am the one who is doing all the work. I know that i can do it just as well in either traditional media or digital, i just prefer to do the retouching in digital because it's easier to undo errors if i screw up somewhere, whereas if i am working with pencil it tends to smudge if i erase or with ink it's damn near impossible to correct an error

# i'm on a self improvement mission at the moment,
so hopefully keeping my mistakes visible will spur me on... :)

# thanks
the art teacher didn't think so...

i got a B on that one... but then again my art teacher was a crackhead. i can honestly say i learned nothing in art class.

# most art teachers
have no clue what art is. i always despised being graded on what they thought was "good" or "bad". grr.
