Redirect to original
Description
A bit of fluff from last year that I just got around to cleaning up. Lately, I've been practicing "triage." When I drawing is not very important I don't put as much work into making a nice, tidy original, nor do I paint out every last blemish or extra line using Photoshop. I intend to leave rough drawings looking rough in future, so that I have time and energy for drawings I value more.Related content

Extensive research reveals that Taral has used the same title on a 2009ish cat-girl pic.

I can always retitle it, "Get Stuffed Twice."

You can make drawings clean if you're really good. I'm not nearly there myself, but that is my goal: to not be dependent on Photoshop.

The thing is, these are just pencil drawings, not ink, so to boost the lines I also have to boast everything else. Even erasures will show up, and faint grey due to the pencil smudging slightly. When I scan inked drawings, there's no such problem.

You can use a light box.

If I wanted to trace the art, yes. But that doesn't serve much purpose in itself.

If you don't want to, of course it won't.

I have simply too many drawings to ink them any more. When I was younger, I did about three drawings a month, which gave me all the time I needed to ink them. In those days, too, there was no other way if you wanted them reproduced in fanzines. A crude photocopier of the 1970s wouldn't usually work well with a pencil drawing. Even if you sent the original art to the fanzine editor, the photocopier he used would't work any better, or -- if he used a stencil making machine to mimeography the pages himself -- the electrostenciled copy would be even worse. But fanzines have changed a lot since then -- many are only issued as PDFs, and there's little reason to send xerox copies to the editors.
Then to, I draw quite a lot more than three pics a month, even if some are just simple things like this one.

My dream is to draw a lot every week. So my dream is essentially changing myself, starting from the inside.
