It's been extremely busy for me the past few months. I know I say that a lot and in general that's the way life is when you work with large numbers of people. The quarantines and lockdowns made it very difficult as I had to migrate away from face to face in person onsite classes to a fully online system. I've managed to handle it okay but the demands on my time have actually increased as a result. So I do the best I can as far as managing it all.
Although I enjoy what I do my personal creative time has been compromised even more as I attend to helping artists develop their work. I have a chance here and there to get into my own art but it's rare. Things will change someday but for now I have to deal with what's in front of me at any given moment.
One area where I'm able to do a little drawing is in archiving the large volume of class demonstrations I've created over the past few years. Most of these demos are in blue pencil which smears easily and is not water resistant. So I'm going over these drawings with black line to make the images permanent. I then format the composition into a little mini lesson so others can gain something of it through my social media presence.
Here's a sample of what I'm doing. I hope you find these helpful.

Hey Charles!Design are very creative, expressive and the turn arounds do make's these helpful. btw I did a original drawing like to what your thoughts are. https://twitter.com/HazBlackslick/status/1304283346428596224
Hazman your characters look fun. There's good things about the drawing. I'd say take your time and give it a sense of completion. Put more effort into making the quality of your work top notch. Quick sketched are good. Try giving your future drawings more attention. Build on what you've got.
Thank you your input. The drawing was just ideas that I used from the people that I talk to at art class. I might work on more realized version.
Hey Charles, you should write a character design book!!!
Hi ClassicMusic20. I have a character design book in progress. Trying to clear things out so I can finish it. One of many projects on hold.
It's always so great to see stuff from your lessons, a self-taught artist like my can learn a lot from just some simple pictures like the ones in this post!
Hope to see more in the near future, also I think you should link your blog posts on your Twitter account, so people can see them easily and also share them with others quickly.
Thanks Geb I'll keep that in mind. Prepping more soon.
Hey Charles. here's one of the characters that I made more refine this time. https://twitter.com/HazBlackslick/status/1306813688418988033
Hello Hazman! Good character design. Good pose. Take your time when shading and coloring. Illustrate the drawing with the same quality you put into the drawing.
