I got some drawing done today. It felt good to pick up my pen again.

I started from a photo of a guy walking down a street and had some fun with it.

A quick sketch of a figure using the same speed painting techniques I’ve been trying out. The proportions feel off on the figure, one of my weaknesses, but I like the feel.

I had the energy to draw today, that was a nice change. I typically have so many things I want to draw, I can’t decide what to work on. I decided to try and do some quicker sketches that I can come back to later. These are my first two.

The top one is from the Cloud World universe, the bottom image doesn’t have a home yet. It almost looks like it could be underwater, though that wasn’t what I had in mind. I’m thinking it’s a jungle area with a lot of plant growth and a dense atmosphere.

It’s a fun style to work in. They still aren’t turning out exactly how I’d like, but experimenting is fun. I think on the next image I might work from a reference image and see how that goes.

I made a new rock brush today. I had some fun testing it out and made this image. The image is still a bit flat, I think I could have pushed the atmospheric perspective.
