Pokemon

After lots of challenges, lots of learning and more time than I would have expected my Pokemon Drawing is Finished

Today was another very long day of art but this one also included a lot of wood working.

My wonderful day of art started with an early session, then a fantastic call with other artists from Optimize.me then the rest of the day was spent preparing my artwork for a show.

Another shorter art session today but I got to play with a new pencil sharpener from Kum that works wonderfully.

I needed to just take a day. None of my days are spent doing nothing but this was definitely less productive than most.

In order to help me visualize how light would fall on an imaginative form I had a brilliant realization that I could use my kneadable eraser as a maquette.

I continue to challenge myself with my Pokemon drawing today by imagining how light will fall on an imaginative form.

For the Pokemon drawing I focused on seeing the simple shapes that made up the Aerodactyl. Then shading the Pokemon to match the light source.

I began shading in the Pokemon drawing this morning which is trying to be heavily influenced by comic book art.

I’ve always tried to avoid tracing in my art career but for this Pokemon drawing and it’s complex assortment of cartoon characters I decided it was the best route.
