Even more drawings! The James Jean collection:

Aaaaahhhhh!!!! I'm finally drawing just because I can again! It's been so long since I've done that, I just haven't been able to get any kind of inspiration or drive to draw on my own. In fact the past while, it's felt more like a chore than the outpouring of soul and imagination that it used to be. But I feel it again, and my god I love it! Maybe it was getting that tattoo, I mean, I started doing all these drawings that weekend. In fact I drew each of what you see here the Sunday of that weekend. I don't know why but ever since that weekend I just want to draw so much more then ever.

I call this the James Jean collection because the basic images are all from James Jean drawings. I had to choose a favorite artist to draw in my sketchbook and James Jean is amazing, So I looked up his stuff and took a basic person or element from some of his drawings and made it my own.

NONE of these are traced, this is me just looking at what he had done and drawing it myself in my sketchbook. This first drawing is my favorite. The original image had her arm going around that of a boys, but he seemed so bland in comparison that I found myself getting bored drawing him, and wanted her to be the main focus, so I just edited him out with my brains version of photoshop and made her the only one in the image. This next one originally had a broken down man clutching to poor Lady Lucks dress, but that I decided to edit out with PhotoshopCerebral3 to make her the focus. I had a lot of fun playing with the falling cards, I think that they spiral around her nicely. This is the only image that I did of James Jean where I edited almost nothing out of it. There were a few more branches in the corner, but I just didnt feel like redoing the WHOLE image so I decided to leave them out.
