Description

A little weird one.

As many of you may know, I'm working on a bigger piece. But I decided to relax a little and do some simple drawings.

The interesting thing about this one is that it's far from complete... How can that be good, you may ask... well, I think it gets you some inside look on the "creative process".

You see, when you have a very clear idea, everything is good and you just draw whatever you want. But when it's not so, that is when there is struggle.

There is nothing more intimidating than a fresh piece of paper. Every single drawing is there, waiting to materialise, and yet you don't even know how to start. I can say for myself that I have spent hours in front of a blank page, scared to do the first line.

The solution is simple: "just draw something... anything", and yet you can't.

This one is a little farther from that beginning, it's taking shape, but it still has an infinity of possibilities (I haven't decided what girls will be in the final version, but I have some idea ;) ). And you can see some of my methods. Every single of my drawings passes trough this stage.

You can see the full body, kind of "nude", and I try to draw everything, even if on the final version you won't see it (for example if the girls will have a long skirt, I still draw the legs).
They don't have a face, sometimes they have multiple limbs (you can of see that here) when I haven't decided where to put them. And sometimes I draw the fingers or not, it depends on how I feel.

Ok, that was long, if you read all that, good for you. I will finish this whenever I have time, and it may look a little different, but I always like this stage.
