Sketch-dump

Summer has arrived quite suddenly, along with crazy temperatures, which makes me feel lazy. However, I'm doing my best to keep up with my warm-up regimen.

Environment warm-ups - 30-40 mins each:




Other stuff:



New character design for the Masahiro-verse - not final yet, but it's got the basic idea.

Bonus fanart-warmup of Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden's Joe Golem and the Drowning City:

I haven't read all of it yet (in fact, I think I'm still on chapter three), but I simply ADORE the setting; the dystopian, post-apocalyptic, steampunk-y flooded city full of rickety rope-bridges, water-taxis, rust and grit and scary dudes in gasmasks. <3. It's like they sat down and tailored a book entirely for me.

Feb. 10 - warmup

My sorely neglected characters - The Gentlemen Birds. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with them (besides obviously drawing them) but we'll see.



För er svenskar som läser det här - Stafettserien rider igen!. Kepskrigare, räkmackor, explosioner, enhörningar och kampen mellan ont och... mindre ont!

Warm-ups

Have taken up a new habit this past week - before I start working on the day's to-do-list (inking/lettering comics, working on bigger paintings, etc.), I do a short warm-up.

It's all sketchy and unfinished or lacking a background, or just really simple, but it's good exercise either way.

This is what I've made over the last few days:







And I also did this - because this is what I've looked like for most of the day. Except I'm not sitting in a grey void:



Charlie Chaplin and the self-portrait are done in Sai, the other in Painter IX.

Daily sketchbook dump July 21-August 1st

I'm stepping down my daily sketchbook-habit to only one page a day instead of two. I've fumbled a little over the last few days (I'm blaming the good books I'm reading - the hours just seem to disappear), but I'm keeping it up. I might substitute the sketchbook with digital sketches some days.
