Sketch of the day: fig leaves and dots

on February 27, 2012
Posted In: sketch of the day

Trying some figure drawings, following Civardi’s volumes on drawing nudes, because that’s what was sitting on the coffee table. I’m still working on technique/paper for getting a smooth fill of colour using Copic markers.

Felix sports this season's most fashionable accessory

And an attempt to Photoshop-out the dots on the dot-paper (but the fig leaf stays):
it's a warm and happy universe where Civardi's model lives

Actually, not as cheap as I’d remembered. But not too bad.

Sketch of the day: Big Project sandbox

on February 22, 2012
Posted In: sketch of the day

The loose pencil layouts for Big Project are coming in useful for playing with different pens and pencils and Copic markers. After this mundane scene exciting stuff in a scientifictional vein happens.

Big Project page 73
From this bit of rough scribbling I learned that Kuretake Zig CocoIro pens smear horrendously under an eraser on the Canson paper I used for the sketches [update! unless you let the ink dry for an hour!], and that I have no idea how to scan this so the grey shading doesn’t look weird.

Oddly, I’m most pleased with the sketch of the faucet.
