That's an age old problem; when you just can't reproduce the magic on a second drawing. I suppose it comes down to well you can interpret your own designs......and know when it was just a fluke! All day yesterday I was trying to re-draw a character from a fast thumbnail and it just looked crap without the carefree loose lines. So I just traced over the thumbnail Yeah you’ll notice how frustrated you get if you keep erasing and trying to fix it, so I now just start fresh and it really works.

How does this work? When I'm drawin' its like sculpture. I must refine until it works for me. If i try to redraw something, it never turns out right. Do you ever draw a one of a kind character that you just can't seem to reproduce? P.S. Awesome comix! This guy says:
