sketch post

I'll try once again to be more active with posting in my blog. It's sometimes just hard to find the energy after a days work.

Here's some picks from my sketchbook and random sheets of paper. I'm trying to do more sketching with pencil and paper, markers, and other more traditional drawing methods. Cintiq is a great tool, and I couldn't do my job without it, but it's nice to try doing something without it. And I actually find my left hand looking for "undo" every once in a while after a horribly drawn line. I try not to use eraser either. I hope that helps to realize how much there is to learn. And possibly over time I get more confident lines.

a lot to fix in this one, it needs work on pretty much every aspect. But there's something that I like so here it is.

Seamonster, some character sketches for flipbooks and random shit.

Control

I'm the laziest blogger around...
I saw the movie Control couple of weeks ago. It was great. Here's a sketch of Ian Curtis.

sketching, lipsyncing

I visited Manchester couple of weeks ago. The whole weekend was brilliant. Thanks! These sketches are from Manchester Piccadilly station. I was waiting for a friend for about 45 mins and luckily I had my sketchbook with me. It was really nice, drinking beer, sketching and watching people coming and going. (all size A4, 2-3 sketches per page, fiber-tip pen, 4 pints of lager ;) )

I have to say that I like large sketchbooks more, I bought this Moleskin sketchbook. It is nice and tiny, but I really don't feel comfortable drawing that small. Here's couple of sketches from that sketchbook too.





Here's a short lipsync test I did using TVPaint. I want to use them cowboy characters in something.

Don't you just hate punks like him?

Amusement Park in Berlin

We went to Berlin last November to visit Pictoplasma animation festival. I was walking around the city in the evening and saw this closed amusement park. It was nearly a full moon so the lighting was incredible. It's a pitty that I didn't have tripod with me. But you can feel the mood in this blurry photo. I didn't bother to adjust colors afterwards, I just added this little monkey character in TVPaint. I hope you like it.

I wish I had more time. Here's a little sketch. I did clean it up, but it wasn't worth scanning in.
