Sketchdump

I’ve been doing so much work in photoshop as of late, I thought it was time to change it up a bit and experiment with trying to do some tonal work in pencil. I recently bought a conte carbon pencil to use for life drawing, but I wanted to do a dry run of the medium. After seeing Dave Colman do a tonal demo in his character design class, I thought it would be something worth trying out for myself. I didn’t use the same tools as Dave did, but I kept the essence of the demo in mind. Whether or not I was successful in it, who knows? The only thing for sure was that I had some fun trying it out.

Although I’ve been doing speedpaints during my lunchbreaks at my internship, I grab my sketchbook and draw whoever is in sight while I’m eating my lunch.

I’m not sure how successful these sketches are because I just sketched for the sake of clearing my mind. Sat down at a Starbucks and just drew as I collected my thoughts. More of a therapeutic drawing session.
