Some kind of compositional sketches. This and body language and perspective and color and cars, and clothing, just a few things to work on. Faces and hands aren't work, they're play, 'cause I enjoy...

My eyes kind of hurt from sitting there with my face inches away from teh cintiq all day - I need to get new glasses so that I can actually see things again. I'm finding that it's easier to work out...

Guillermo Del Toro's Devil's Backbone is great. It's what I think of as real horror - the way people treat each other, with just a little bit of ghosts floating around. There's some amazing prosthetic...
