Really inspired by Marco Nelcor’s recent post of his Sentai warrior “Mango”. I did the camera movement without 2d camera software controls. It was very informative for some future work.

Not really doing much sketching mostly going through some Clip Studio guides for animation and storyboard notes.
I did get a couple copies of my physical sketchbook collection dated 2018-2019. It’s still a strange feeling to have a year’s worth of drawings in a glossy hardbound book.
Animation 02
Went through a couple guides online for the toolbar in Clip Studio for 2D animation.

Really having fun sorting out frames in folders. The small shortcuts really save a lot of time in the process. Trying out some background work in this shot.

First blog post for 2019. During my holiday vacation I cleaned up my 2018 illustrations and got them together in a book, I still need to get them to physical print. Besides that I started working on a couple of concepts for 2019 that I want to refine and build this year.

Last month I picked up the new iPad and spent sometime getting the brushes just right. Lately I have been trying to brush up on my layers before final color style. The recent collection of images have been greyscale for that reason. Besides that I am almost done with this years holiday card and after that I can start the yearly archive process for my annual sketchbook.

I haven’t been doing much daily sketches getting ready to finish up a couple of projects. I did finish up an illustration I have been putting off since October. It always feels good to revisit an earlier sketch and realize right away what needs fixing.

Nothing much it has been busy lately. I did do a couple fashion reference studies, all on iPad w/Clip Studio Paint pencil tool. It’s super comfortable the way the pencil really builds layers over time with soft pencil marks on the screen.
I had a couple more idea’s for this month’s character design challenge I might revisit them sooner than later.

Since the last post I have been doing smaller reference studies with the grease pencil in Clip Studio. I spent sometime working on grey scale values with clothing folds and soft lighting shadows. I did find a couple new fashion blogs that will come in handy for a couple of designs I have been trying to work on recently.

I started the beginning of October with allergies at this point I don’t want to burn out trying to catch up on my Inktober drawings. So this year I will take a break. I did enjoy the art meme going around with Bowsette the collective art going around is all so much fun. My final concept for last months character design challenge the creme brulee wrestler was something that came to me towards the end of completing my initial concept the chocolate bar model.

Finished a couple pre-Labor Day blue lines sketches I had “laying around” on the iPad. Of course I took the time to design an insect warrior for August character design challenge. It’s always so much fun just seeing where the initial design ends up.
I have a couple more fashion reference illustrations I want to wrap up before moving onto the next project. I really get excited by the next drawing series even after all these posts.
