i just had one of those moments when i realized its harder than i thought it was. i have more work ahead of me than i thought. i go back and forth about whether KJG is overrated or not. i'm back in the he is not overrated camp. this picture seems pretty simple. i like to draw women on motorcycles too. i think im better than average at vehicles, and ive been really working at getting better at people. but when i see this sketch this is what i realize:

for one, he didn't draw multiple drafts of this. he didn't even construct it in pencil or anything like that. what i find so impressive is his ability to put more than one person in a scene together like this and have the proportions of both people end up looking good, and the poses look very natural, not stiff. the way the guy is holding his arms, the curve of his back, the angle of his head. it doesn't look awkward. it is extremely convincing and it came from his imagination. and with the girl, im looking at her clothes. every time i go to draw a girl... i mean, i want to draw them in high heels, but it will look stupid. it will look like coomer trash. somehow he did it in a combination with these skinny jeans. so its at the perfect taste level.

And if you look at her feet and his knees. they are both perfectly on the ground. He didn't fudge anything he just nailed the proportions.

and on top of that he used a lot of black. he has no fear that he will mess up his art if he adds too much and that gives it a finished look instead of just looking like a sketch.

And also like i said i have drawn girls on motorcycles. and they usually have a gun. this is nothing new. for me this goes back to bulma from dragonball, but im sure it far predates that. but he has the guy licking the sword. wtf is that? she's smilling and pulling his tie, and his hands show that he is submitting to her.

i mean, not that that in particular is what interests me, but what im saying is, we get a lot of information from a single drawing.
