Sketching late

Anatomy study

Caveman

A little disappointed with myself over not being able to complete the Miyazaki Re-Marketed challenge. Gotta move on, though. Here's another sleepless sketch.

Bloodsport 5: Mononoke

Starting the new Bloodsport challenge a bit (extremely) late. I decided to go with Princess Mononoke. Gotta push it hard these next few days! Here are a few thumbnails to get some ideas flowing.

Brave

Something else unfinished.

Analyzing my process

A friend of mine suggested I show my process more often, so I made these. I'll probably do some more. Looking back at these I realized that I like some ideas that became mere steps in the painting more than the final itself.

I don't really have a single process I follow when I sketch or paint. The reason for this is that a lot of my work comes from random sketching. I'll spend a lot of time looking for shapes in scribbles or fiddling with color comps until I decide to render something I like.

I'm going to try and approach my work with more purpose and planning. Someone told me that I'm a concept artist stuck in illustration mode. I don't really know if that's true or that I'm just a messy artist. Time for some discipline!
