At one point today I started thinking that these line drawings were too simplistic. After really thinking about it, I decided that my first thought was wrong- they are very deliberate, and in fact in a majority of cases I don’t do any erasing- just plot lines and try to control my hands so that everything lines up.
The fact that it’s “easier” when I’m uninspired or tired doesn’t make it any less worthwhile, and I probably just need to be nicer to myself.
