Backgrounds and other things

one thing I love is reading John K's blog. However I'm starting to notice a disturbing pattern. All of my original drawing patterns (having flow with my drawings, and organic feels) I have to go back and relearn, it seems that when people gave me suggestions (like using a ruler) it degraded my drawing capability.

Anyway above is the new page to Tides of Change, the page is turning out nicely but it still needs work. Panel 4 and 8 bother me...



This is a background drawing I randomly started doing. I love the colors on my trees
