My comic book illustrator pal used to tease me long ago about being "sloppy", then let me help him out filling in blacks on some of his pages for Escapist and Queen & Country so I could learn restraint.
While the exercise totally helped me to clean up my line work and premeditate my fills and lighting more, when I get back to colors and paints all that goes out the window and everything is about gesture, layering, and a lot of happy accidents. Not a lot different from kindergartners with their first batch of finger paints and a big ol' Kool-Aide sugar buzz, I guess.
Any rate, sorry to ramble, just glad you all enjoy seeing my "sloppy" productions! :)
