I picked up a couple of design books and have been trying to figure out a process for portrait styles with a couple FRENDEN brushes.

The last couple of weeks I have cut back on my daily sketches. Trying to figure out some animation workflows in Clip Studio. I have been doing weekend studies mostly trying to put in practice what I have been picking up recently.

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 blog post for 2018 it’s been fun going through my illustrations and sketches through out the year. The art book is almost done so far its around 47 double sided pages, the best part is working mostly digital this year I didn’t have to clean up paper scans. I really enjoyed just experimenting this year and hope to push myself further into the new year.

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.

The last two weeks I have been busy and doing mostly quick at work lunchtime sketches. I did have time a day before Batman Day and drew a couple of layout sketches. I did eventually finish both during last weekend. With the model illustrations I was trying out building out grey levels before applying any color to the images. I always enjoy approaching a drawing with a possible new way to apply layers and colors.

Enjoying the best time of the year and getting back into a couple of smaller projects hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Also really trying to do full color in my semi-daily drawings, I really want this years hardbound sketchbook to have a larger color section.

With the year coming to and end I need to start scanning and clean up for my 2017 art book. I feel pretty comfortable with simple color illustration in Clip Paint Studio, the majority of the Frenden brushes imported perfectly. These illustrations were done on the iPad at 300 dpi still quite impressed how well it handles 20+ layers.

It’s almost time for Inktober. I still haven’t decided if I am going to do some sequence stuff or just single page for the daily challenge. I do have a good grasp of the pencils and pens…so that’s the good part at least.

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.
