Weekly Wrap-Up 1-1-17

Happy New Year can’t believe 2016 is done and over with. The last week of the year I try to organize a number of projects and scan my drawings into an end of the year folder for the annual sketchbook.

Last year my final sketchbook was 50 pages with 18 full color pages. This year its 83 pages with 18 full color pages. I can’t wait to get the physical hardbound version of this book. It’s nice to actually hold something physical that I made.

Above is the final design for Vol:2

Above is a much earlier concept I was playing with

Getting down to wrapping up 2016. I really want to cross a couple more illustrations off the list. Hopefully like in year’s past the last week of the year should be a good time to catch-up.

Weekly Wrap-Up 11-20-16

Can’t believe the year is almost coming to an end. I am very excited about creating my end of year sketchbook. So far compared to last year I will have a few more pages.

Lately I have gotten into the habit of looking for a quick warm-up sketch reference on Instagram. Thanks to everyone for posting.

I have a 1/4 stack of inked sketches that I will never get around to coloring them. My art book for 2016 will be stacked. All of these final pieces were illustrated in Procreate.

Hit an art block for a week, rested up and back at it again. I have a lot of sketches that haven’t fully developed at some point I am going to collect them all in a mini PDF sketchbook. It will be fun to look at them later.

Weekly Wrap-Up 6-26-16

Catching up on my backlog of summer tv with my iPad on hand. It’s still amazing how much I am still learning about Procreate.

It’s very rare I revisit a sketch but I really want to develop longer illustrations. Normally by the time I blue line a sketch and ink it I just want to move onto the next idea.

Sorry for the lack of post the nice weather and staying busy has kept me from posting more. Good news is I feel lately like my art block has cleared up. I need more time to actually finish concepts.

Super busy lately I need to get back to a more regular posting schedule. Otherwise post like these exist with 10+ illustrations from the last month all on one post.

Still having a blast with Procreate but my drawing time is still the fastest on paper but with digital it’s getting much better.

Lately it’s been a mix of Sketch Dailies late night illustrations and some personal for fun weekend stuff.

Trying to work on this phase of creating more original character work minus the Ash illustration. The Jake Parker video channel series has really inspired me to do more work that I can say is my own.
