It was probably after getting an artbook by Steve Hanks that I started drawing differently. However, he does photo-realistic paintings. I just do sketches in pencil with occasional ink and color. (He also does pencil sketches. They're photo-realistic, too.) My artwork doesn't really look anything like his, but he did inspire me to try something different. These sketches mostly took up the entire page and were just close-ups. I tried to make the the drawings look very clean.
I don't know why I stopped drawing like this. It's not very realistic, but not very comic book-ish either. Perhaps it was too in-between to carry on with and be satisfied with. I might consider going to back to something like this someday.
The first one here is a black ink drawing on copy paper. Out of all of the sketch books I've had, I don't know why I kept falling back on using copy paper on occasion.
