Berries Again


I have been trying to draw this berry bush for a while now. The lighting conditions at the time of my walk usually prevent me from being able to draw this particular scene (the light in the morning shines directly into my eyes). Lucky for me, it was an overcast day.

That mood probably comes across in my other drawing of a tree in the parking lot. When I showed the drawing to my girlfriend, she thought I had visited a graveyard (that's a parking sign, not a headstone). I tried out something new here - a soft graphite stick and micron pen. I really like the variety of marks I was able to create with the graphite stick - but I had to be extra careful not to smear everything around.

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.
