This page quickly went from let's see how much I can cram on a page to let's see how small I can draw.




Well, I'm gonna get back to it and try to get as much finished as I can today.

The beginnings of a no-name town

Image
All in all, pretty simple and straight forward. Step 1; lay the town out Step 2; design the buildings Step 3; combine Step 1 & 2 for town (currently I'm still on step 2) A little generic looking, but that was the idea. Gas and Auto shop. Alright, I'll explain this. In the wee hours of the morning, this struck me as philosophical. Actually, ontological would be more precise. I'm drawing all this stuff, of course, because it's all leading up to a larger project, but also just to get better at drawing. That's the big picture. That's been the main goal for a very long time; always try to better myself at this stuff. So I try not to take shortcuts. Whenever I draw something, it's pretty much always with that in mind. So, when I started to draw this gas station/auto shop, I wanted to use everything I could to get the distances and proportions as best I could (just as good a time as any to practice, right?). So I drew the entire building, not just what you coul

Cover

I did this cover a while ago. I'm so behind on everything, I can't believe I'm just getting to this. Everyone in charge was flexible, so I pretty much did whatever I wanted. Its double sided ; the back cover is the other side's view of the front. There wasn't much behind it, other than I don't remember seeing a two sided cover like that and wanted to. (I'm sure it's not the first, I'm just saying I haven't seen one) I'm pretty happy with it, not because I think it's great, but that it looks as good as it does given the tiny bit of time I had to do it in. There wasn't much planning. This is all of the planning and prep work that took place before it was drawn-  Despite the stamp, this was not drawn on July 26. It's been long enough now that I can look with fresh eyes. I'm pretty happy with how the hands turned out. And from looking at the sketches, it's because I got them right in the sketches; the ha

Drawing Table Tuesday

Let's see, how do I explain this... I've been trying to decide on a side project for what seems like a couple years now. I've chosen recently, so I've been working on it for a few weeks now.  It seems like there were about a hundred  thousand things that led me to it, but I'd guess it started a couple years ago, when I was talking to Staci about ideas for another sketchbook. I'm not sure what they'll be used for when I'm finished, but I think they're going to be a little more meaningful than I originally intended. I think the idea really came from wanting to give popular culture the middle finger; sort of a rage against the machine ideology. Eventually the idea evolved, and I settled on a little more complex idea, really liked it, and sort of ran with it. I love the idea and, simultaneously, it's against about a thousand things I've grown to hate roll my eyes at (hate's a strong word, more like grown tired of ) . I love thing
