Sometimes I have a hard time deciding what the difference is between an orc and a goblin.

In any case, I did this image as an exercise to give a body to the little circle guys I draw (see the lotro comic post). The other style doesn’t lend itself to having clothing on the characters (besides head accessories). I also have some difficulty with certain poses, the whole thing of them not having a body really limits their physical emoting.

This guy is from a larger sketch I’m working on. I did a quick color test to see how I liked the look, so far I’m happy with it. I expect though that there will be lots more experimentation!

20 min creature sketch.

I scanned a little doodle from my sketchbook and colored it in photoshop. It was a fun little exercise, I’m going to try and do some more. I got rather distracted by games and relaxing after finishing this last semester, but I’m finally drawing again. ^_^

In my continuing effort of trying to draw everyday I did a page of creature sketches in photoshop. I had fun with it, but I need to be looser and quicker about it and not think so hard. I question what I’m drawing as I’m drawing it, rather than letting myself freely explore the possibilities. Something to work on ^_^
