Never Quite Showed Up

This afternoon, I tried capturing the pose with a couple quick brush strokes. This really helped me to capture and accentuate the angle of the pose. Unfortunately, the face never really came together. I made a few attempts, but each one seemed to be more off than the last. This is an unfortunate case of my previous lines informing future attempts and throwing everything off. I would have been better off drawing the face by itself or just throwing it all out and starting again.

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.
