Game: part 5
Well, I’m finding myself drawing way more buildings than I thought I would. Yech.
See, I don’t like straight lines. Or rather, artificial lines. (I don’t like perfect circles, either.) I’m really more an organic lines sort of artist.
Which of course means that I have to force myself to do buildings and machinery occasionally. It’s part [...]

Traveller
I have no brains, due to hayfever.
Therefore, I have very little interesting to say. Um… Line quality! Look at me be not precious about it! It goes wibbly-wibbly! (Highly technical term meaning ‘it looks like she could use a bath.’)
