Colour Experiment

It's actually easier to demonstrate how I move from one step of a drawing to the next when I'm doing it digitally, as long as I remember to do it in layers.

The actual base sketch for this is a bit dodgy, but I like the colouring.

Surprising news

The best of my 5 drawings for the day, this was originally going to stop at the "pencil" sketch stage, but I felt like adding some colour. I think it turned out well :)

Lean

Drawing #12 for today, after 6 hours, my highest count ever, and ever more encouraging results.

I'll hopefully stick with this level of commitment for another few weeks to lock in the drawing routine that slipped after my return to work.

Fire

A possible alternative design for my Pyro character... if I go the T&A route...

Selection

May was an almost entirely drawing-free zone, after I'd managed 2-3 hours a day the previous 2 months. Luckily I've made a better effort so far in June. Here's just a sample.

Creature

I have no idea what this guy was doing in my head... One of the very rare occasions where I genuinely captured what I saw in my mind's eye. Maybe my drawing skill is slowly starting to catch up to my imagination :)

Eagle

More of my favourite animal, again taken from my March stockpile. I have drawn about 180 pics in the past 7 weeks, so no surprise I haven't thrown up everything on Flickr.

Tiger

Another pic saved from March

Defiant

Since I'm busy preparing a couple of drawing-based birthday presents, my current drawing output is top-secret. So here's something from March which I haven't published before.

Inked

Really happy with this one. Turned a quick sketch into something interesting with dramatic shading. I think all the proportion practice is paying off too.

Fed up

Just something quick and easy, aiming at simple expression and body language.

Face

My last couple of faces lacked symmetry, so I went with the easier profile... I'll keep working at the front-on shots though :)

Face

Somewhat wonky...

Face

Rather than just rushing through sketches, I wanted to go back to more of the detail work. My first face for about a month...

Waiting

Supercolour

Step 1...



Step 2...

Reflect

Scene

A very quick sketch I drew while testing whether a 39" TV as my monitor was better for drawing. Turns out that's a bit too big... my eyes took a couple of hours to recover!

Today

Many drawings today, this is just a selection.

Turns out if I'm well enough to sit at my computer, drawing acts as an excellent distraction from the current craptacularness of my health.

Big cat

Today's been equal parts miss and hit with my drawings, but thought I'd at least show I'm still going, even if it's something simple.
