50 minutes sketch using photoshop.
I’ve been sketching a lot lately. Mainly because I finally grew the balls to work on big issues I had with my drawing skills. You might have seen the project I’m currently working in this blog. Well, I put it on hold to work out some problems. Clothes were atrocious, camera angles were astonishingly boring… I feel like I can draw it so much better, if I only I sit down and work on this things I’ve neglected for far too long.
In the meanwhile, I stopped focusing on american comics (even though I’ve been analyzing Sean Gordon Murphy’s art for a couple of months) and started looking at different things. Hence the huge difference between these doodles and the stuff I was doing before.
Artists like Katsuya Terada, Kim Jung-Gi, Kozaki Yusuke, Katsuhiro Otomo, Moebius, Bertrand Gatignol or Larcenet really inspire now. Maybe I’ll finally be able to achieve a blend between european, american and asian trends.
One can only dream.
Trying out new rendering techniques. I think I like that way.
