Day 17: Trying to draw more like a kid

For the comic I’m working on, the main character is a young girl who draws in her sketchbook.

Here’s me practicing what a kid might draw like. (This is basically how I draw minus art school pretensions.)

Those drawings are adorable and heartwarming, actually. Aww. I love the bearded bald guy with the 8D face.
so good.
geez I wish I drew that good when I was a kid
I dig it. A while back our buddy derek posted about kids’ drawings styles and that process of being socialized and how it ruins this weird creative spark (which you have to fight to get back with much effort later in life). I’ll try to dig it up (it had snapshots of kids’ doodles he had seen them make at an art museum hands-on exhibit)
