Drawings and conclutions.

The night fell upon me once again!
I've just finished my second ice coffee this evening, and now it's time to go to bed. No surprise when I say I'm not tired eyh? Anyway, I can't say this day started out good!
I woke up 3pm. way too late! Ole Morten and I ordered pizza and watched Sweeney Todd and Juno. I must admit, none of the movies impressed me. *sigh*
I've been drawing today. I continued on the drawing I started yesterday. The bad thing is that I get in bad mood when I draw. It wasn't like this before, you know? I was alway happy drawing some years back. I really don't know why this has happened. I think I have higher expectations now. I really get annoyed when the drawings don't turn out the way I want. Also, before, I always drew things without any form of reference.
I always though reference was like cheating and that the drawing wasn't going ti be as original. I was really against using reference but now, I must admit that if I want to improve. I really need to use reference. If I don't, my drawings get to simple because I lack of information. When I was at the age of 14 I often copied other artists drawings, and therefor improved. I "saved" information on how to draw for example anatomy. After some years, I felt good enough to manage without copying other artists drawings. But I really need to start doing it again. You learn so much doing it. And then again understand so many different things. You also get aware of how to draw things you can't.
For a period now, I think I'll only copy other artists drawings to improve. Perspective is a must. I suck drawing perspective. I use John Howe and Allan Lee's drawings as reference these days.
Here are some pictures from today:
