How To Make Your Drawings Betterer

One question I am frequently asked by those aspiring to creek more is, "What can I do to make my drawings more better?"  The answer could not be more simple.  Allow me to demonstrate, briefly, using visuals.

Here's a drawing I recently finished after several months of work.  It's a man standing in a tree with a small girl to his right:

It's kind of hard to see what I was going for and the forms aren't exaclty easy to discern.  So, what I do in this situation is take this logo:

...add it to the top of the drawing, and *boom* you can really start to see what I was going for.

It's that simple.  Add the New Yorker magazine logo to just about anything you've drawn and it will immediately look better.  Here's a piece I did of a bunch of people being attacked at a crosswalk by an orange octopus:

Just look how much better it looks after I add the logo:

One more?  Here's another drawing I did of someone in a tree.  This time it's a woman and there's a tiger leering up at her:

...let me just add the logo...

So there you have it.  If you're struggling with your drawings, there is a way to instantly make them better.

And if you'd like to own a book that's 50 pages long and collects all three of the illustrations you see here along with many more of my completed works, you can find it at my bookstore
