Last week it was my first time ever I got to get close to one of them Cintiq screens, and I can only say it feels as it could develop into some form of addiction to drawing :D Really great tool! So, if there is good 20 minutes free, I exercise in sketching. So these two below are my first attempts (:]
This octopus, I imagine, should be first of the series of sea creatures, which I am studying for a personal collaborative character design project (more about it when I upload few more examples in the future). I study real life reference , but to make it more of a interesting task, as well as explore character colour palettes, I just experiment with colour and composition
Another hour-long drawing was done for a topic by Illustration Friday Challenge:

was not important to me. I wanted only to help the truth burst forth." Alice Miller
It's been 3 solid weeks of drawing every day! ( yay!) and I feel like my hand is back from the dead, so to say. I hope there will be lots more to share (:]
The octopus is absolutely enchanting :)
ReplyDeleteyep! LOVE the octopus JJ. So - how's everything going? I must say I'm missing seeing you in the CGAA studio - not quite the same without you being there, somehow bright-eyed, but always the earliest! Drop me a line when you're not painting Octupi and tell me your news. I thought of you actually - Monsters Inc was on the television - I kept thinking 'yoyos'... :D
ReplyDeleteHi J.J - Cuuuuuute! :) Got to love those Cintiq's
