So I recently graduated from BYU-Idaho and am now back with my parents (which no I am not even remotely happy about). I'm not looking forward to finding out how long I can stave off the insanity my dad can inflict. 
On a much happier note I got to go through all my old sketches and I can honestly say that I was flipping out from all the nostalgia I was getting from seeing all my old drawings and all the  characters (there's gotta be hundreds) that I created throughout my life (including my childhood characters). I even kept copies of all the character cards I made as commissions for all the missionaries that wanted one on my mission.
Going through all those I started to think that even back then I wasn't all that bad (or have I just always sucked and not known it?). I also thought that some people might be interested in seeing them so I plan on doing a sketch dump sometime (whenever I can get around to it).
I thought of one last thing that I want to ask those of you who do watch my stuff. Question is do you want to see my sketches? Previously I haven't bothered with uploading many sketches and if I did they usually just end up in my scraps. But if people reply to this wanting to see more then I'll at least start uploading most of my sketches to my scraps for anyone that wants to see them.
You'll for sure see a lot more from me since coloring in pictures is such a pain for me. The reason I don't color much is because I don't care much for colored pencils anymore for the things I draw and when I use Photoshop I only have a mouse and the pen tool to work with when I try to clean up my lines. Using the pen tool can get me some good lines, but I don't have any fun when using it so it just turns into a chore. Then after I'm done with an outline I'm so beat from doing the outline that I have no motivation to color it beyond the fact that I have just gone through all the trouble to give it an outline. So my coloring in Photoshop comes out lacking and I'm so tired of it that I don't want to try it again. Then I've tried just coloring in the sketches and they don't usually come out looking very good... So I'm in a rut until I can get a real good tablet or something that will make that process a much less daunting task. 
So now that you know what's up do you think I should just start uploading a lot more sketches or just keep trying to scratch out some real works of art?
