The Seduction of a Metaphor
(bandwidth:vcl)

This is the first time I've done a finished piece with outlines in forever. You really have to have outlines to nail the Art Noveau Hair, and having strong outlines printed in a color besides black is also good for a lot of points of Noveauness.

In case you haven't noticed yet, I like raccoons. They're the only kind of critter I have more than one example of as an active character I play on a muck, unless you count the two sequential variations of a crazy butterfly. This does not mean that any girl raccoon I draw is Me, though this one has much the same arrangement of sexual characteristics I do. I have a nicer ass, though.

The sketch started out as a cheetah, for no immediately obvious reason, and got revised into a raccoon. Weird.

Weakness or not, you can sure do it when you want to! Me? I LOVE lines. I've been told I love them too much and not enough. For me, that's where the drawing starts and a good deal of where it ends as well. The flat, lineless color area thing is an approach I've made few times. And even then, for me, there's lines. I'll admit; working with an old copy of AI, lines aren't as fun as they are in the more recent versions. I'd love to be able to brush digitally as I do manually.

Still, know that you can do lines if you want to!

Thanks for the hints on Pseudo's LJ. I wouldn't have known otherwise. :"D
