I’ve been trying to sketch quite a bit more lately, I agree with the mantra “Draw! Draw! Draw!”. It’s been difficult in the past to make time for sketching, especially when I have other (paying) projects going on.
I think it’s an important step to learning though, and I want to be a far better artist so it’s time to practice more. The image above is a sampling of some of the sketches I’ve done. Upon looking at them, it’s fairly obvious that I have quite a chaotic mind.
As a footnote, the “cartoony” characters are a means to an end. There’s something in the future that requires I lay aside my more illustrative/painterly abilities, and just leave in line art. That’s a tricky thing for me, after almost ten years now of learning how to make things more painted, more “realistic”. To go back and re-learn how to just let a single line say it all, it’s tough.
Then again, I’m probably just a big baby.
