A New Year

I filled an entire sketchbook with my daily drawings. I tried a Halloween-themed drawing-a-day project. I made the most of (forced) time away from my little office. Of course, I also slacked off quite a bit during the holiday.

Today marks my return to daily posting. This discarded and torn Chinese food takeout box is my first drawing of the new year. I am putting together the final details for my next daily project - which I hope to start soon. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

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!

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.
