I don’t know what these kinds of drawings look like to other people like if they look lazy or whatever, but truth is posting my drawings like this has been super cathartic for me. Instead of worrying all the time whether my drawings are good enough and hating what I draw, now I love the weird stuff I wanna draw naturally. And I’m having fun.
Drawings like this have been amazingly cathartic for me lately, mostly for the posting-them-online part. I used to be basically ashamed of drawings like this, which I would always naturally draw in my sketchbook but never felt like were “real” drawings. Lately I’ve been learning to accept them by forcing myself to post them to instagram, and in the process I’ve been overcoming this fear I have of what other people will think of them. I’ve also learned how closely my drawings can be tied with my self esteem.
I’m extremely happy with this drawing. I’ve reached a point where I can be the harshest defender of my own art, and I think that’s the position every artist should strive to be in. I’ve also been happier with my body lately; I wonder if it’s related?

As usual, the new Starkid Productions’ musical is brilliant, and you all should check it out! I couldn’t help but loving Joey’s character as Uncle Wiley, and as soon as I saw him with that freaking apple I knew I’d end up drawing him.
