Warm Up Sketch 16/08/2017 – House 3

Forgot to post this from yesterday – 20 minutes.
Thought I’d try outlining this one – not my favourite thing to do. It’s okay but it doesn’t make me feel excited or happy. Just confirms that more colour and minimal line is a more natural way for me.

Warm Up Sketch 15/08/2017 – House 2
[image error]Warm up sketch – 15 minutes.
I’m time poor and tired today after a sick night for our youngest, so my warm up today is just a quick and loose under-painting (with colour palette – you lucky devils).

Warm Up Sketch 11/08/2017 – White Car, Snow and Dalmations
[image error]
Trying to draw a scene with lots of separate white elements – part speed painting, part over-complicated, over-blended muddle. This doesn’t quite work for me but I feel I’ve learned something from it. And I’ve stayed on the pet theme. I need a new theme for next week…

This one took longer than I thought it would – around 45 minutes. Just playing with colour and blending.

The colour and the shape are making him look more like E.T. than I was going for…

Warm Up Sketch 08/08/2017 – Baby Guinea Pig
[image error]
Warm up sketches help me to experiment or try new things first thing each morning. They’re not highly detailed or finished art – I usually spend anywhere between 5 minutes and half an hour just focusing on the thing/technique I want to learn more about. When I’m busy, it’s important to me to find time to do this because I lose track of myself, especially when working to prescriptive briefs or doing a lot of copy-artist type work.
Today I’m carrying on with my domestic animals study and trying a new eye shape – around 45 mins

Today I was thinking about backlight and I tried a different eye shape – around 15 minutes.
