Everyone thinks their own stuff sucks, It's like some sort of universal artistic rule or something, but it's also a useful tool to improve your work. One problem I've been having for a long time is that I focus too much on the end product and end up rushing through the starting sketch/composition phase. So with this latest batch I decided to slow things down and "front load" my process, so to speak (gah, double pun!), and try to spend a lot more of my time on the underlying structure of the drawing before starting in on the details, inking, shading, etc.
What I found is that it allowed me to get a lot closer to what I saw in my mind, and as a side effect made the process of drawing a lot more fun for me.

Heck, there is nothing I'd like more than to see more artwork in these forums. Our neck of the fetish woods has been a little dry lately.
Not sure anyone is ever going to make our little niche into a mainstream thing, and I'm fine with that.

David Tenant is, and always will be, the Doctor.
But I really wanted to draw the redhead, and using Tenant's Doctor would have caused a time paradox, collapsing this reality thread and everything in it. Also, people would probably complain about it not being consistent with the show.
