Ok, so for the last 3 or 4 weeks, I've resumed my observational drawing studies. Normally on a sunday we draw outside for a bit (if its warm) then end up in borders, however for the last few days the weather has been amazing in Dundee, so Kenny decided it'd be good to get out of Dundee and draw in a place called Broughty Ferry, which is about 20mins away by bus. It was such a nice day I ended doing only 2 drawings. Kenny and Mick did none. Instead they played football on the beach......and yes I joined them for a bit. I'll try and make up for my lack of drawing during the week.And Again....

PS: Is it better to have one style of drawing which is distinctivley your own or be able to draw in multiple styles which show a little of yourself?

Wow another post! Lovely stuff. I really love the second one.
as for your question, I think it's a real amazing skill to be good enough draftsman that you can adopted almost any style, and I would think it's almost a must of your a commercial traditional animator. But if you have a style which is seen as your own then I think it's more satisfying to the artist and is more appreciated by others.
Just look at the success of Jamie Hewlett. and there must be thousands of artists who can Technically draw better than him.
Those are great dude!
And the answer to your question is, yes. Both are correct.
messytimbo, I'd agree with that. Good comments.
sweet work, turned out great.

hey Wesley, long time no speak ;-)
I agree with Tim, well that's Bobby Chiu's take on art. Copy the style of the masters to develop your own one. And as a commercial artist it is better to be able to adopt any style.
Both man, both. Work on your own style and do some other stuff in between.

id love to see a post of your cleanup process. although i am getting closer and closer (actually i think ive just experienced a breakthrough!) it sometimes just gets technical with scanner settings and stuff you know?

Take care,
