67 - Lumphead




Yes, the thirteenth of the month: Ungood Art Day.  It's not that this poor little lumpheaded boy is all that bad, at least in terms of penmanship.  I consider this to be one of my more careful inking jobs.  What bugs me is that I spent all of that time laying down good, accurate line, only to realize after I was done that the boy has gorilla arms and a lumpy head, not to mention a horribly clunky pose.  Why didn't I try to refer to a photograph or a model?  Gahhh.

As the boy was required in a larger composition, I used Photoshop to give the kid's head a more humanoid shape, and I fixed up the arms a little.  It was like putting lipstick on a pig, though.
