Chapter 4, General Thoughts

One of the things I'm trying to do is challenge myself, largely by drawing figures at angles I don't normally work with, backgrounds every once in awhile (something I typically never do because I am lame like that), and working with a variety of techniques I wouldn't normally try. It's not working out well, and is mostly blatantly obvious. I also find myself subconsciously trying to rest on the strength of my writing a little more often than I'd like, which will be clear in a few pages.
