It\’s been a while since I did any character sketching. Honestly, after the last bout of pathetic idiocy on DeviantArt, I thought I\’d just hang up my pencil bag and not bother doing anything character related ever again. Mostly because I felt so annoyed and upset by outside sources that I\’d be better off without it in my life.

I don\’t think that\’s true though. This need to draw characters and keep drawing them is inbuilt in me somewhere – I didn\’t stop because people at University told me \’I suck at it\’ so why should I let some insignificant, arrogant shithead on the internet put my off?

I am out of practice though – it\’s been a couple of weeks – and I am questioning the direction I\’d like to go in with my characters. I\’ve not had much \’luck\’ with the furry fandom; I\’ve made some great friends certainly, but as of late it\’s not been \”for me.\”

So, I\’ve returned to one of my other fandoms. Warhammer. Combining with doing a spot of painting as and when I can, I feel it\’s only right to come back to drawing it as well.

The sketch above is Knives. The Scout Sergeant from my home brew Space Marine Chapter – I can see a fair few errors with with the sketch, but it\’s a start back on the path that I\’d like to be on.
