illustration + design
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.
Lately I haven’t had the time to do larger illustrations working on a couple of other design projects. These are weekend portrait studies and a meet the artists meme.
