Heehee 'terrible habit of biting my nails'. He rocks. So much.

I like her little bonsai tree.
Makeup as an "offense mechanism," heh. That was great, as was the terrible habit of biting his nails.

Thanks! The idea of the makeup as 'war paint' sort of inspired that line.

Psssh, thanks. There are TONS of mistakes tho.

HA. Mistakes schmistakes.

The piece I'm working on now has me wishing I had your skills at hand-drawing. Fingers on a guitar? Fail. They look like worms.

Dang, the 'guitar-hand' is a tricky one, because it's all arched and staggered and such. Wooo, I been there. Well, if it helps, I regularly make people pose for me so I can draw from life. It was pretty funny to see my dad holding a book while watching TV! If there's nobody around, you can draw from your own hand in the mirror. If all else fails, I think it's OK to look at a photo, especially if you took it. I really don't understand this idea that 'reference' = 'cheating'. Since when is looking around at the world for factual data something to be shunned?

Yeah, hands have this thing about them. I just can't get my pencil to trace the lines I want it too when it comes to fingers.
Haha! That's a cool reference for the book! And I don't think it's cheating either, to use a photo as reference. Heck, even with a reference I manage to fail - or sometimes win - so it's still the artist's own work. What next? Copyrights on family members? Don't think so.

Sometimes if I try drawing someone from a photo, there's less resemblance than if I just draw them from memory. Go figure.
They do have, those, like wooden poseable hands at nice arts n crafts stores...I always wanted one of those.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, that's a feat.
Oh yeah, that hand thing. I'd love to have one too. Though I have a mannequin and I NEVER used it for reference.

Oh, gosh, I didn't mean it to sound like I was bragging. I just mean sometimes the mental impression of a person's face yields more of a likeness because memory exaggerates the recognizable features...what's unique about a certain person. Plus, I tend to get bogged down in the details when I look at a photo, like the shading and such, instead of focusing on the geometry.
Yeah, sometimes I think those mannequins are just to look 'artsy'. The head of the one I've got is WAY out of proportion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, that's an interesting point of view, about the memory that exaggerates facial features. I wonder if caricature artists feel that too.
And you didn't sound like you were bragging at all. I was a tad too enthusiastic, that's all.
And yeah, my mannequin's head is also HUGE. D:

I dunno what the first mannequin head designer was thinking!

Yeah! Maybe those we have are just decorative? Mine is from IKEA, I must admit.

"I have this terrible habit... of biting my nails." I seriously have tears of laughter in my eyes now. That was brilliant. And I just love it when writers/comic artists have Joker using his face paint as an "enhancement" of his "personal beauty" - you know, like he's making a statement or something. Deidre is pretty. And that's an interesting name. The conversation in this one was amusing. If Jonny wasn't a patient as well, they should have had him be Joker's doctor... Now that would be interesting.

He'll get called in for a consult soon, hahah.

Yay! I love that man.

Somehow, he even rocks the soulpatch. And I am not a fan of the soulpatch.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Eww.*shudder* They repulse me for some reason. I prefer my men clean-shaven.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, me too. Somehow it cracks me up to think that Crane would EVER, in a million years, have a soulpatch.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think someone should at least lecturing him for ever considering such a hideous thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Shit, I meant the guy in the Joker Blog video. I pretty much like Crane in any form, tho.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes. I've always wanted one...

Haha, her lip gloss IS poppin. Oh man, good luck to this lady trying to use modern psychotherapy to "help" him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, for reals. Still, it's worth a try.

Nicely done. Love the last panel; his profile is just *sigh* Heheheh....
Can't wait for more!!!

Imma drawwwin!!! Seriously, it's like all I do...I don't know why it takes me so long.

I find it amusing that no one GETS that Joker's make-up is him being himself, not a mask!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, most 'normal people' probably wouldn't get it. To me, it's complicated. I mean, we all make choices about how to present ourselves to the world. Most people wear their 'freakishness' on the inside, or behind closed doors, etc. But some looks are calculated to shock. And some shocking looks are accurate to what someone is like inside. Yet, I don't know if we can ever appear as what we truly are, because we are constantly 'being'...we're verbs, not nouns.
