Can you draw? Because I sure can't...

...but I want to do something about that.

You see, I love comics. There's some great storytelling there as well as some beautiful artwork you'll ever see. I've always admired those who can create. It doesn't matter if it's music, photography, a video game, or drawn artwork like comics or paintings.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to draw. The piece of advice I always hear when discussing drawing is practice, practice, pracice. You'll draw a ton of crap before you get to the anything good.

So that's what I'm going to do. I even have a variety of subject matter available to me. Over on Comic Geek Speak forums there is a running thread called the Birthday Sketch Thread. Basically you ask what you want during your birthday month, and the other participating members draw it.

This year I'm going to participate. I've even drawn my first sketch. The Joker. I'm going to store them on the Comic Sketch Gallery, and I'll post them here as a kind of sketch blog.

Here's my first one. The Joker done for GreenSkeletonII on the CGS forum.



I hope you won't be too offended my my crap work.
