The Wayfaring Stranger… Where Will They Go Next?

Inktober Day 2 - Scurry

GLaDOS on black paper :D

Bonus doodle sheet under the cut ^^

This is my first time using black paper so i had to figure stuff out a bit xD

quick studies of hergé’s style for tintin! the last two images is me breaking down how he draws nature in his backgrounds, and me attempting a sketch (in his style) of the view outside the cafe i was at! (the buildings were rushed so ignore that LOL)

i have been really enamoured by his artwork ever since i was a kid, and even over a decade later, im still just as (or even more-so) fascinated by it.

his linework and form is impeccable but he still somehow nails this sweet spot of refinement and realism with really fun stylisation, expressiveness and flow. he was a master at his craft and i just AHHH. i wish i could go more into detail and analyse more of how he draws people especially, we’ll see if i do more of these!

The moment he died, the desert was brought to life for the first time since the beginning.

The smell of petrichor had never brought a more bittersweet sense of relief, nor a heavier sadness.”

My dad and I once had a disagreement over him using the adage "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I said, "That's just not true. Sometimes what doesn't kill you leaves you brittle and injured or traumatized."

He stopped and thought about that for a while. He came back later, and said, "It's like wood glue."

He pointed to my bookshelf, which he helped me salvage a while ago. He said, "Do you remember how I explained that, once we used the wood glue on them, the shelves would actually be stronger than they were before they broke?"

I did.

"But before we used the wood glue, those shelves were broken. They couldn't hold up shit. If you had put books on them, they would have collapsed. And that wood glue had to set awhile. If we put anything on them too early, they would have collapsed just the same as if we'd never fixed them at all. You've got to give these things time to set."

It sounded like a pretty good metaphor to me, but one thing I did pick up on was that whatever broke those shelves, that's not the thing that made them stronger. That just broke them. It was being fixed that made them stronger. It was the glue.

So my dad and I agreed, what doesn't kill you doesn't actually make you stronger, but healing does. And if you feel like healing hasn't made you stronger than you were before, you're probably not done healing. You've got to give these things time to set.
