I am working on the idea for yet another netkultura.pl article about the six nation and rise and falls story of one of its participants – Italy. This is a first sketch. I really like the idea, but have to make changes to the layout. I hope I will be able to do it up in illustrator, but I am also considering inking it by hand. So little time… Thankfully, I also came up with a back up, simpler cartoon like illustration for the same article.
I have already converted this one into vector + photoshop illustration, you can see here Doesn’t he look a little like Fat Rober De Niro? I think I lost the resemblance a little when I vectorized it.
he he. Practicaly unusable…
So here is a bunch of twitter sketches I did when travelling to and from work on the tube. They are to be transformed into my sketched twitter icons collection that I am planning to share when I have time to sit down and finish off. I am planning to vectorize them, mostly. Some of them you can already see developed into illustrations in this blog but these are not quite so usable I guess. They kind have the anti-twitter to themJ Some of the sketches here are quite cool, though, with quite different, cartoony take on the twitter icon. I still haven’t worked out which to use for myself but I am recently so inspired on the “blue birdie” subject that I might come up with something better and do not want to spoil itJ
Yes. They are quite rough. It’s because I draw them on the tube, not spending much time to refine the lines since they will mostly be turned to vector anyway.
If there’s something here you really like, drop me a line and I will try to do it first.
IF… you’ll find something here you REALLY, REALLY like – drop me a line before it’s made downloadable and we talk exclusivity (my terms apply, obviously;))
The rest of the sketches here:
So here is my take on The Ashes related illustration. It is a warm-up but this one is more on the subject matter compared to the other one. I am still chasing the demon cricketer here but not forgetting the batsman attributes. Anyways, I will be taking it further with a T-shirt design in view.
Yup, still keeping it greyscale. Not much time, especially recently as I have started freelancing for this cool new company creating personalized wedding invitation. Do check them out if you’re after a wedding invitation with a little extra love. In
fact, this website it in polish but it’s opening for UK really soon. link
I need a new sketchbook. Things are starting to pile up:) I drew this rat looking at the photo in METRO paper yesterday. I forgot what the article was about but the rat was a fine example! I changed the face expression a little bit after I sketched in the girl in the background as it gave me some ideas… go figure;))
Something I drew today on the tube. Still listening to The Prodigy. I know, I should be taking advantage and sketching the actual people on the tube, but I am little afraid to have my pencils broken…
- people are so tense nowadays…
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?
