Daily… Environment thumbnails

Trying to get back into the habit of sketching environment thumbnails. It’s great studying from life, but I also find it invaluable working from my imagination (and memory). It helps everything stick.


Daily… Thumbnails

A couple thumbnails for an idea I had for a painting. At this point I’m just trying to figure out general placement and proportions, I’ll do another round of sketches better describing his expression and clothing etc. I had been thinking of going with the portrait versus landscape orientation, but seeing them all next to eachother, I’m less sure. I like the vertical arrangement, but having open space ahead of him is nice. If I stick with my plan, the final piece is going to be 16″ x 20″.
