Thanks Todd! I've never liked my own sketches, but I love seeing rough work from other artists. I'm actually bad about keeping ANY of my own original art, even finished stuff.
please, please, please keep your sketches! I'm with Todd! If Henny Penny here is any indication of how they go (and the studies of cow faces and more recently of sheep) they are publishable, like Todd Said. One file cabinet. Drawers for animals, buildings,etc. with folders for sheep, cats, pigs, (waiting for this one!) and barns, churches, etc., etc. You're throwing away GOLD!!
Award-winning illustrator Shawn Braley started putting pen to paper from a very early age.
His first forays into creating included large sheets of blank newsprint with markers and pencils, lovingly supplied by his grandmother, Hazel. Once he saw his first illustration printed at the age of 7 in a local newspaper supplement, Braley was smitten with the world of publishing.
Shawn, your line work is alive, kinetic. Keep all your sketches. Someday you could publish a sketchbook.
