Weekly Wrap-Up 2-26-18

Lately I have been all over the place in terms of styles. When I start with a blank screen it either ends up being cartoony or a realistic style. I haven’t been keeping up the Olympics but some of the photos and stories in my newsfeed have been interesting to read up on. Of course I had to do a couple of Black Panther drawings. I need to pick-up the art book at some point.

At work during lunchtime I started filling up an old unused sketchbook. It’s an interesting practice the pages are thick and can take tons of abuse with an eraser. At first I tried using ink pens but the paper sucks the ink too easily a mechanical pencil and a couple 2b’s with a rough tip do the trick.

Clip Studio on iPad has a pretty extensive brush set but I haven’t spent much time with their pencils. It’s very intuitive to use the pencils really have a rough look to them. I have been doing a few model studies to give a very natural media look to the illustrations.

Of course I did this months character design topic: motorcycle. The funny thing is all month I did a few rough sticky note character sketches and a few days before the deadline came up with a new concept and finished it all the same night.
