Robot pencil sketch

Here’s an interesting technique that I have been practicing recently, however on an unfinished example.

So I was sitting in the dark room (lights off, only light source – a TV) and jotting random fine pencil strokes and doodles on the sketchpad without looking. Just making sure to apply almost no force to the pencil. After that, I started connecting lines, tightnening them and so on to end up with this, whatever you call it. Ah, and a silly craping cat added for a funny factor.

This (technique) is actually inspired by one of Andrew Jones’s (from ConceptArt.org) movie-lectures where he said he did something like that while working on a concept for a nintendo game characters (can there be a cooler job?).

As said – unfinished but makes for a nice sketch, doesn’t it?
