Drawing is like... hard.

Gotta agonize over how to make the roughs, then you gotta make some more roughs because your roughs weren't awesome enough, and you gotta be super light with the touch until you're ready for the shading in the final... and then you have to scan it before you ink it incase it all goes to shit, and maybe (by some miracle), just maybe: you finish it up and it looks awesome and gritty and gory and I am so glad I picked horror.
It's a lot of work, but actually really kind of fun 
...
Been putting in this effort after tying salvage to the web (and stripping, and hanging, and the construction stuff (holy scary heights)). I haven't played a video game in *weeks*, though the loneliness does lend itself towards pumping oxytocin into my system through happy 'squee-level' adorableness of ze well constructed (usually lezzie) romance... 
Went out solo in the canoe and broke myself some ice yesterday (had a real hard time making it back to shore... quite a wind), come in and draw some more utterly terrifying nonsense.
So, anyone die?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Drawing was always naturally easy for me. Have not drawn anything in forever, though.

Hi Vae
Good; means I'm not drawing reality: That's great. ^__^
Englishmen wouldn't happen to filed under 'important', yeah?

The level of (stylized, gritty) detail I'm putting in kind of makes it not... easy.
I can trot out a boring face or six in what feels like no time at all. Making the same characters, true to their details from multiple angles, in various (graphic) settings, states of injury, and/or death(?).... is not easy for me, at least
... Human hands... are the devil.

Oh, you wouldn't like that. In this story: the important people pretty much all die.
Dead, like. Totally this side of deceased.
Granted: plenty of totally unmentioned people die too... so it really just sucks to be alive these days.

For a very long time, I would draw complete images from the top down, without any rough shapes as a guide. The results were predictably awful, but drawing was fun, so I persevered. At some point the light bulb went off and I understood how to build a drawing from rough shapes and lines, and that opened up a whole new world of possibilities, which has kept me entertained in the ensuing twenty years.

Welcome back, I missed you.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
