from the archives: always gonna be like that







my sketches are often in weird colours. finished stuff is toned down into the neutrals. this was from a few years ago when I went through a phase of using fuck-off bright colours for linework (click on it for full view - it looks muddy in the preview, but it's actually magenta. it's so not done justice in the preview). I actually like it, like a lot. I'm gonna do more of that. this is really simple but it's up there in 'favourite thing's I've ever done' territory tbh.

i bet the title is from some song, but I really don't know what. oh, it's prefuse 73! awesome.

  1. The magenta is great. linework in colours other than black is so much more interesting

  2. I like the little blade of grass one of them is sucking. Colour line art should be a riot of colours, otherwise there's not much point. The overall effect is interpreted by the brain to make it seem sometimes like a totally different colour scheme to any of the individual colours used.
