Well its now called Autodesk Sketchbook Pro but regardless of the name, DAMN. This is one hot piece of kit. Especially when combined with my Cintiq. I was up till nearly 3AM last night mucking around with these two bad boys. Here’s one of my sketches – should really make a habit of drawing at 3AM… the inpiration gods r kind at that time.
14 more days till the trial runs out.. sigh
For abit of practice I hopped onto you-tube and dug out some clips of tennis players. *poc*
sketches of random passers by, ppl waiting at the bus stop and ppl having coffee at Exomod Cafe in Mount Lawley.
From memory, the large chap with the akubra was waiting for about 20 minutes at the bus-stop one sunday morning. The rest are a mish-mash of people I saw during the week.
Done using my new pigma brush pen. unfortunately two drawing later, the tip has frayed. *sigh
So I recently signed up for a Character Design course at Schoolism with Stephen Silver . We had to do some sketches of Fat Joe and these were my submitted final pieces.
This was the first assignment:
Tagged schoolismYou are to design a concept sketch of Fat Joe based on the play, The Long Voyage Home. Take it as far as you like.
Description:
SCENE—The bar of a low dive on the London water front—a squalid, dingy room dimly lighted by kerosene lamps placed in brackets on the walls At the far end of the bar stands Fat Joe, the proprietor, a gross bulk of a man with an enormous stomach. His face is red and bloated, his little piggish eyes being almost concealed by rolls of fat. The thick fingers of his big hands are loaded with cheap rings and a gold watch chain of cable-like proportions stretches across his checked waistcoat.
the last one on the right is the final version. the rest were my experimentations in the leadup to it.
martial arts poses are really awesome to draw. not only do they look good but you get great practice with folds and shadows when drawing their costumes
