Trying out Color

I've never worked that much with color when it came to drawing, so whenever I tend to sketch or doodle, I don't touch the markers or color pencils. Part of it is that I'm just lazy and don't want to carry the extra stuff. The other part of it is that I'm just hesitant to put that color on paper and mess up whatever drawing I just did.

But you can't get better at something unless you try it in the first place! So here goes...

The second two drawings were sketched out with a pen at the actual places and then colored in at a later time. They're all pretty generic though.



i originally tried to draw portraits of ira but making it fish-eye versions. needless to say, i failed so i turned them into those weird themed pictures.
