Sketchbook – non-embellishment/ruddle
Back in March, my partner came up with a fun art exercise. We used a random word generator to assign us both two words, which were to form the basis for our sketch. We had limited time to create the pencil sketch, and then the rest was done in ball point pen, so that we […]
Sketchbook – Kidder sketch-shading experiment
Winding down for the night. Thought I’d play around with this guy, first seen in this post. Thought I’d play around with a different shading/colouring style. My computer decided not to cooperate, so I was working without pressure sensitivity or functioning shape dynamics. It was surprisingly nostalgic to do so. Reminded me of when I was […]
Sketchbook – Kidder
Its name might be Kidder or Kitter. That may be its given name, or the name of its species. Its pink body is soft and dribbly. Its shell, which may be another living entity, is made of much tougher stuff. This critter squishes up inside its shell-like lower body when threatened or sleeping. If provoked […]
Sketchbook – two colourful young cartoon monsters
Some monster characters that revealed themselves to me while I doodled. I am having some trouble determining both scale and colour scheme. All three of that kid are actually the same being, just, dressed up in different colours, and in different proportions. Any suggestions for scale or colour scheme are welcome! I’m having a lot […]
Sketchbook – sketch of Jude in dark forest border
Digital doodle of a rather old recurring character of mine. Not sure why I made the sky this colour. If, once I have slept, I realize just how bad my decision-making processes are at half one in the morning, I may correct it. That’s assuming this sketch even remotely resembles what it’s meant to. A […]
Sketchbook – self portrait.
Another self portrait, in which I demonstrate that either I am very, very bad at drawing anatomy, or I am very, very bad at having anatomy. This self portrait it at least as accurate as my last one. I doodled this a few days ago. I think it was in celebration of completing my homework. […]
Sketchbook – a being soft of tooth
Digital sketch, drawn entirely in photoshop. Feels good to loosen up. This fellow strolled leisurely into my brain only two nights ago. It’s pleasant to try and express such an entity while it is still fresh in my memory, though he does look a touch more sinister than intended. His teeth are articulate, not unlike […]
The Intruder – recoloured sketch
I had a few spare moments tonight so I decided to recolour this old drawingfrom almost a year ago. Still not perfect, but I’m fond of the slightly brighter autumn colours I used this time around. It poured through the window frame and hung over the bed, insubstantial as cobwebs. Moths hummed through its flowing body. […]
In the Toque of Madness: nightmarket paintover experiment_01
Paintover of a digital photograph. I was working on the colours for our current project, working title, In the Toque of Madness. The first scene, as we’ve drafted it, takes place in the night market. So of course, we went to our local night market with a dear friend of ours who happens to be […]
In the Toque of Madness – digital protagonist doodles/colour tests
My lovely partner and I have continued work on this story. In order to practice colour choice, as well as practice sketching in photoshop, and to try and get a feel for the protagonist, I thought I’d do some digital sketches of her in various “tight” colour schemes. We’re using a cartoonier style for this […]
