A different sort of thumbnail

I recently ordered an artbook from ConceptArt.org and it came with two tutorial downloads. One such, by Andrew Jones was focused on thumbnail design. It was really inspiring. I gave it a try this evening and while it is a more abstract creation method, I feel mine are more abstract than they ought to be. I do that a lot though, jump into a more advanced technique before spending the time on the fundamentals. I’m not caring much at this point, I’m having fun ^_^

The red scarf

Inspired by the art of Inio Asano. Hmm…I felt like I had more to say than that a moment ago, but my mind has gone blank. Well, check out his manga solanin, I highly recommend it.

A sad house

I’ve been considering getting a tablet pc. I’m torn. I haven’t made a decision one way or the other yet, but I realized that regardless, I need to be drawing! If I don’t draw, then it would be absolutely worthless to me.

I started this sketch last night, at first it was just a simple doodle of a house as I was testing out my brush settings. I had left it open when I went to bed and today when I saw it, I thought I’d paint it. It was a fun little drawing, I look forward to doing more of these.

Sketch in painter

Did some sketching when I got home this evening. I’ve got some work to do tomorrow, then onto some drawings for a comic.
