Glass and Twine

I took some extra time on today's drawing. The initial outlines were basically done yesterday - all of the shadows and textures took way more time. I struggled quite a bit in the beginning trying figure out how to create the textures and make the glass look...glass-y.

This was a challenge. It feels good to walk away from this with a little more experience. I haven't done this much drawing in a long time. Tomorrow could use a little color, though.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Twinbee

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
