#that one henry post on my art blog gets linked to a lot lmao

[ask-joeydrewstudios]

((soo since June 1st is the blog’s anniversary, I thought I’d post some “concept art” in celebration? :o please excuse the wonky anatomy and errors (GLARES AT THE SAMMY AND SUSIE PAGE), i didn’t think I was ever gonna post these. buuut i personally really like seeing stuff like this from other artists, and I’m sure there’s other people that do too, so I’ll post ‘em since it’s a special occasion. it’s really cool seeing how both the characters and my art style have evolved in the past year tbh xD

some of the characters i knew what they looked like immediately, some of them i sat on for... a while. joey took me a week or two i think, and i don’t know where the drawing went but on my first-ever henry, he had joey’s hairstyle almost?? it was like joey’s hairstyle with sideburns :’D it was horrid. the second henry and all henries after had roughly the same hairstyle he has now. thank god. also that second henry sketch, the fullbody? still one of my favorite henries i’ve ever drawn for some reason...

sammy and susie were easily the easiest out of everyone, i knew what they looked like immediately. soo... they don’t really have any real concept art, they just suddenly Existed xD and long-time followers should remember norman wasn’t with the blog when i started because i was struggling with him, i had a lot of ideas for him and none would really stick but the stuff you see here is when i was finally starting to get a grasp on it.

aaand at the end there is the original sketch of the blog header ; w ; i guess it got smeared on the other page so it lightened out a lot, but it’s still kinda recognizable. i changed some things not including adding new characters over time lol but that’s what it looked like on paper.

...BTW, you can see some of my even earlier henries over here, and my first lacie over here!))
