I’ve always struggled to draw pretty. Ugly, is more my metier. But I keep trying. Two good friends of mine have suggested, and I think they’re right, that US comics, especially ,thrive on “attractive”-attractive women and attractive men. It may be a British thing that we tend to move more towards brutish (or it may just be me).
British artists that can do pretty do remarkable well in the States.
British artists that can’t, end up having a decent career in the UK, but never noticed beyond those shores.
My mum (god rest her) used to say my women looked like men. I’m horribly aware of my shortcomings in this area.
Anyway, this sketch is alright though – literally a 2 minute pen & ink sketch – drawn using one of the Frenden brushes in Clip Studio. My instincts are to use a very controlled line, nothing rough, thought it’d be a fun exercise to use a rough pen to draw something nice.
