two days ago i was chatting with a buddy of mine, a student of a sorts of mine i guess would fit.
a student that is so good people keep thinking him and i are the same person, which has been causing some epic hilarity, but thats besides the point

so we got this idea we should mess with people and i should try and draw some of his characters, a fanart of the sorts, and even do the whole linework thing he does

and then i realised something dreadfull

PAINTING HAS KILLED MY DRAWING SKILLS!!!!

by this i mean i have zero patience for linework.  its just alien to me. all the time i was trying in my head i was screaming: 2 NO DAMN YOU, PUT SOME LAYERS OF COLOR!!!!

i used to draw alot in th eold days, but now, that skill has eroded.
and im not talking about traditional shaded drawing, shaded is easy, i mean pure line drawing
i have trained my mind to think in volumes shadows and colors to the point where line just kind of died out


AND I BLAME PAINTING!!!!!!

modelling was its accomplice
