illustration + design
It really feels like summer is wrapping up, pumpkin spice is featured in everything already. The year is far from over but starting to think of some final pieces to work on for my end of the year art book. These are just my every couple of days drawings. I can’t get it to daily but doing the best I can.
I have been trying to do reference studies of faces at least every other day. After doing a couple I pick a pose and build it up a bit more and force myself to color it. I don’t hate coloring but after finding my lines in a rough sketch I really want to move on.
Having a blast edited my brushes and changed a couple of settings Medibang Paint on iPad feels so smooth now. It finally feels loose like how a blue line pencil sketch should feel. The coloring is still a process I am trying to get faster using.
Trying to do full color designs. I get into a habit of doing VERY loose sketch lines followed but clean-up lines and moving onto something else after that.
Filling up the sketchbook daily again. I try to do a couple pages while watching summer shows, but most of the designs don’t make it past the thumbnail stage.
Back at it again. I fell behind on a couple of projects so right now I trying to remember how to draw again. I have 5 pages of scribbles and 3 bristol sheets that never went anywhere. This is the first batch that feels good.
Things have been a bit hectic no real time to do larger illustrations. I do try to just do a reference sketch just to stay on routine every couple of days.
The last couple of weeks just trying to fit a couple of sketches on paper or on the iPad just to keep creative. Watching a lot of Into The Badlands such an epic series.
Into The Badlands – sketches
Misc stuff:
Caught up with the first couple of episodes of Attack on Titan it’s great to have it back. Besides that a couple of great shows are coming back but of course gotta make time for Persona 5. I have been just filling up pages in my sketchbook while finishing up some shows that don’t require my full attention.
Took sometime to finish up the end of a sketchbook I have in the pile. Very excited Attack on Titan is now back I started a couple of sketches and should drop some color in them when I have some free time.
Really happy the winter darkness is over with and the sun is out until almost 6:30pm. It’s almost time for running season to start up again. I really liked a couple of Oscar photo’s that were taken on the red carpet, I had to do a couple of illustrations. Besides that I am working on a couple of smaller design projects but still making time for kind of daily more like every couple of days illustrations.
Trying to spend more time actually completing an illustration. I really enjoy the quick sketch process but lately I know I need to add final colors and render colors more often.
