More, more,

While
working on a particular character, you have to beat it down. What I mean by
that is you have to work it, left, right, top, bottom, etc… after you do this
for a while, the expressions and the features become more natural. You can’t
expect to write a comic book story and then draw a couple of characters once or
twice, then draw them in the book. Every time you need a different pose, you
will struggle to get it right. Why not start with something that you have
already practiced.
I draw on the subway everyday, it gives me something
to do on my way to work and it makes me a better artist in the long run.
Obviously if you drive to work this is not an option, but if you take what you
do seriously, you have to make time for it. Go to a coffee shop or a mall and
just do quick sketches. At first it will seem hard, because no one waits around
for you to draw them. That is ok, you want them to move around. It is almost
like you’re drawing their essence, their movement and their expressions. Just
keep at it.
