Chameleons and more Knights

Worked up these guys to a more presentable level with color, and another pair of Armor designs

Even More People

More of the same!  A bit of body gesturing as well, and some iterative attempts (probably an awesome practice) with the same woman.

Chameleons and Earth Painting

Working on a few characters with an inked style - originally stylized based upon reference.  The painting is very much an experiment also sprung from an old sketch.  Usual ink sketches from observation

People Drawin'

Mostly from this afternoon, a few from sketch group on Sunday.  The 2 guys with hats are probably my favorites

2 Armors and dogs

After switching from traditional inking to digital I kept making some quick structural improvements here and there...trying to keep the time investment in this style lower.

One challenge is knowing when to use black, or a dark grey, for which shadows - both can do the trick, but a balance of full black across the piece seems just as important.

Armor Designs and Drawings

Phew - I think those armor studies helped a ton before leaping into my own designs - these took a long time and I must admit a little rushed (some leg posing and construction likely off) but I enjoyed getting into a lesser known subject.

A few gestures of people in a coffee lineup and shape design on some busts, plus a strange frog/rabbit hybrid exploration

Portrait Sketches

Studies from photos, trying to keep a close eye on interesting shapes.  Might be time to push the designs further.

Bot Update and Sketches (Brush Pen)

Some new people sketches - continuing to think about about designing the shapes and balance

Pencil sketch with Brush Pen on top for fun mark making

The fuel bot!  I find the right image of just the robot empowering, with a strong composition and sense of focus...but after people didn't understand his function I've played with adding a 'scene' for him instead.  Now exists the choice of which style of character illustration to pursue.

People and City Sketches

First sketches were done sitting downtown and the rest came mostly from sketchgroup on Sunday.  Trying to get down to more appealing design with shapes and line flow and caricature...which is still proving not simple.

Paintings Poster Characters

In what seems to be a continual wave of variety here is some new work.

Here is a poster for an indie film: Contained.  They are currently competing to earn a budget for their horror movie production.

Some quick environment concepts using some new techniques

I found this blog post with Luigi's character process, seemingly common for cartoon character design, and wanted to try it out while looking at a fashion blog.  Not the best but some lessons surely reinforced.
