Sat down to warm up before my 3rd entry to the gorillaz character design challenge and came up with this. Can’t really say it gave me any clue for the gorillaz character or practice in handling the unwieldy online brushes on their website but I quite like how it came out after slapping some colour on… Will get back to this. In the meantime – do vote for my gorillaz character design, you random reader, you.
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?
