The Sketch a Day Thread!

[Lensing]

It´s something completely different for me to hear my music on vinyl with a selfmade cover artwork compared
to listening to a soundfile or a cd.

The portrait of your mom looks fantastic, super beautiful

[Xiostar]

I sure hope so, but are you sure you aren't already that artist?

[Kelheor]

@Xiostar Oh gods no, I am most definitely not xD
Of course, "sketch" is different for everyone, even for one artist it would vary depending on the day, and you can call literally every step before you consider the art finished "a sketch"? But I sure understand the sentiment, that's why going in Twitter is so hard, every Mona Lisa there is someone's daily sketch hahaha

@Lensing thank you

[KSlinger]

@Lensing Congrats on your EP! Can we listen online anywhere? Only if you're happy to share ofc.

@Kelheor Drawing family is always risky business but this is so nice! She's v pretty

More Eliaz and Candor

Wheee! More attempting to make my own font.

Obviously the free version has limits. No hyphen for example, which is why the one in the image doesn't fit with the rest of it. I can work around it but I might bite the bullet and pay for something.

[Lensing]

Thank you and thanks for the interest. The songs from the single will not be uploaded anywhere, it´s just that
one single which goes into the distribution

But I´ll let all of you know when the Rhythm´n´blues band release is, there will be a youtube video for it
and everything

[KSlinger]

@Lensing Aww, well I hope it all goes well for you on that side of things. A video sounds great! I was with a musician for a long time and on the scene for ages so I understand the effort. And the expense. Making music ain't cheap! And that was like ten years ago.

How it started

How it turned out.

I’m so tired

[Lensing]

The ugly and unsympathetic characters are just as much fun to sketch as the beautiful ones

Second digital doodle ever! I absolutely cannot believe it is almost October, but it’s almost spooky season! I still haven’t planned out my Halloween costume yet, but hopefully I can get it together before it’s too late and I’m rushing at the last minute. Are you guys hyped for spooky season??

[thepenmonster]

I realized that I've been drawing in such a way to need either add screens or jump all the way into colour. So I did a wee test tonight coloring the original and seeing how it all looked.

So far my thinking is that both the balloons and font look too reedy when in context.

The colours do make everyone stand out much better and they're in the right neighbourhoods for the characters but they need a bit of desaturation. Or maybe they just seem too intense next to the black and white. Dunno.

Gonna sleep on it.

I've hit my peak minimalism period it seems. I just keep trying to draw characters with fewest details. I drew some silly fan comics last year for my football team that were pretty popular with the other fans, so I tried applying it to my characters.

I dunno how I feel about the results. It doesn't quite feel like me. I think at some point in time you hit diminishing returns on low detail, because you may have fewer lines, but then each line becomes more important...

I also randomly got an e-mail asking for more material for a pitch I sent out at the beginning of the year and kind of assumed was a rejection. So, uh...

[Lensing]

It was worth the effort, it looks absoultely amazing

[Lensing]

I think it´s one of the greatest excercises you can do but like you said, the pressure is high,
because every line gets important. This reminds me that I should practice that more

[Lensing]

I will not use the sketch I uploaded yesterday. I dislike everything about it except the text for
the panel
I need a simple hair cut because I will draw her again and again in the comic.

And the daily Loomis practice, friday is side view to the left, I´m doing
this since 10 days

[zzshizooo]

Still working on my mc. Almost done with the character design

[KSlinger]

I don't share 'after' versions of my sketches very often so here are two of the latest ones. I have an 'extras' series for West so I'll sling these in there with other sketches I can scare up.

[Kelheor]

Damn flu, why did it made me so tired.

I guess I will make a rule for sketches. Putting a timer on. If in like 10 minutes I figure out nothing is coming out of it, leave it for later
