Hey ARTfans!
I stayed up late again last night. I'm jumping back into the
swing of things, although, I’m having a hard time getting warm this morning… (I
hope this isn’t a cold coming on).
Anyway, I’ve been needing to really work on my faces, and
expressions for our characters. I have ‘consistency issues’, basically, when I
draw a character multiple times, they don’t always look like the same person.
To resolve this, I think I’m going to
start looking at doing an Expression chart for the bulk of our ‘main’ group of
characters… I need to work out this little bug, and make these guys look
consistent from one image to the next. That, and just practice, practice,
practice. I also have a desire to do traditional ‘style sheets’ for each
character. ‘Style sheets’, are basically just a page or two of doodles,
outlining the ‘rules’ for each character. (For example: Mickey Mouse is 3 ‘heads
tall’, wears white gloves, and red shorts. He has yellow buttons on his shorts.
There are three black lines on the top of each of his gloves, etc.) Think of it
as a blueprint. A map for drawing that character, and reference for facial
expressions, and such.
Anyway… today's ART challenge, (Day 15) is not a style sheet. It’s just a page
of doodles from last night.
Not a ‘finished’ image, just some good ol’ practice. I did really like how the 'butt shot’ came out, I just need to work on those more
cartoony proportions. Oh, and I did finish inking Celeste from the pages I did yesterday.
I gotta start finishing up some images soon... sketches are good... But I already miss not having something to color...
Well, True Believers, I guess that's it for today, check back tomorrow for another rousing artistic adventure with your friendly neighborhood...

Yeah...Neil was up late, too, but not doing anything *near* as productive as THIS. LOL I like the butt shot - good work!
