Superman's Dead

I can not draw lately. At all. I spent four hours the other night drawing half a head that I threw away. Hah.

So I've been doing whatever I can think of to get around the problem. Today that was using a reference to not draw. This picture is only notable or even remotely cool in the fact that I used nothing but markers on it. That means no outlines or guidelines or whatever. I referenced a picture of Travis Fimmel I have by my computer. For the record, I HATE using references. The proportions are neither Travis', Lance's nor my regular style... they're just what happens when I go straight to markers.

It's an ugly Lance... but whatever, I moved his eye three times and fixed his mouth way more than I should've. The picture is also way overworked. But it's cool, because most people are afraid of markers for their permanence when they're actually very forgiving. Anyway, I've scanned it and decided to 'fix' it three times already so I'm calling it... abandoned, if not done.

Maybe I'll try for a better one sometime.
