If it's been a while, I sometimes have to use a past drawing as reference (especially for minor details), but that's about it.

Here in the US, women's clothing has buttons on the opposite side of men's clothing. But, I've seen a lot of women wear men's shirts.Dutch! wrote:(Okay... just realised that this would not make sense if other countries have the buttons on the same side for both genders... although, now I'm thinking of it... the school polo shirts the kids at work wear are probably all the same, cos that would make sense. Must have been something Mum told me back in the eighties when this sort of stuff still happened...)

For my latest comic I was drawing Draconus' and for the life of me couldn't remember how to make his helmet look right. It sucked cause I thought "Man I know there's a trick to this but... can't...remember...what...it...was"
So I doodled it out on a scrape piece of paper and it came back to me after a bit.

I always tweak my style, so if there is a character I haven't drawn in a while, they end up looking different.
There's Skies of Arcadia too.yeahduff wrote:I actually have forgotten how to draw the characters I draw most frequently. I finish them up and it's like, "Who the fuck are you? What'd you do with Lori?" Probably has something to do with me recently acquiring the second season of Veronica Mars on DVD.

I had to think about that - from the reader's perspective that is correct, but when I looked down at the shirt I was wearing I went, "Hey wait..."mcDuffies wrote:I noticed that I intuitively draw buttons on women on right and on men on left side.

Well, let's just say I had to mirror a certain picture when I realized I had my main character's alter ego---with her hair parted on the wrong side.--Al

Hells yeah. VM season 2 hinders my comic to NO end. Too damned addictive.yeahduff wrote:I actually have forgotten how to draw the characters I draw most frequently.

Might also be why Tina starts looking more and more like Kristen Bell the more I draw her.

Buttons on men's wear are sawn on the right side, so when you button them, they end up on the left side. So when I draw buttoned shirt, buddons have to be on left.rkolter wrote:I had to think about that - from the reader's perspective that is correct, but when I looked down at the shirt I was wearing I went, "Hey wait..."mcDuffies wrote:I noticed that I intuitively draw buttons on women on right and on men on left side.
