I used to to do quick 30second sketches just to get creative juices flowing, or sometimes to vent and express emotions on paper.
Some quick ones from dark days...

"Fear"
(I think there're a couple words mixed into the darkness...)


"Despair"
(Scan didn't turn out very dark... it was a light sketch).


"Hate"
In a perfectly aligned world, all it takes is a slight skew to fuck everything up.
Here, just two of the lines are out of whack, and it envelopes the entire page, eventually destroying the whole.
Look close and tell me what you see...

hope you don't mind i played with your despair image

nice work Atomic.
what'd you use for the background?

just a stock image i had lieing around, changed the brightness and contrast and the bleeding properties

Cool...........I always love rumaging through my old sketches and books. I did it the other day moving some stuff from boxes into new boxes

Actually, Despair is pretty darn good...

OK what am I missing?? all I see are two straight lines that intersect squares (rectangles) of different size.

all makes sense now...
Despair is interesting, Fear... yeah? Hate, i never woulda seen that
Either way..

arhh i didn't see that either

heh.
It wasn't meant to be seen...
It was the underlying emotion in the center of it all...
You can tell something is not quite right, but you can't recognize what it is.

I actually drew the word HATE first. Then I just extended the lines in the word... then filled in the adjacent lines to complete the picture. I didn't have it planned out or anything... I just drew...

Lol, I like that Hate thing. Despair is also quite nice. I think the person in the middle of Fear should have been made a bit bigger though...
