Two Faces

Let's get this out of the way first: the eyes are out of proportion. They looked great until I looked at them again. Yikes.

Today, I attempted to finish a face I just started on the day before (it's the upside-down one at the bottom of the page). I really liked the effect I was able to achieve with a little water and a water soluble crayon. The whole thing has an ink and brush feel to it.

I don't have complete control over my lights and darks yet. I was able to create some really nice, light washes whenever they were needed. There is definitely something to these materials: some bits of style are coming through.

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.
