Day 38 - Space Cadet

I was doodling away at this on my commute home today and suddenly realised I'd managed to jump on the wrong train, so was pulling up to Gatwick Airport. Not where I needed to be, tempting as it was to head in and jump on a plane to somewhere warmer and drier than the U.K. is right now. Annoying to say the least, but on the positive tip I got to get this done by the time I pulled in where I was actually meant to be going. Swings and roundabouts ...

Day 37 - Chick

Thought I'd posted this earlier, but it seems my tethering skills are not what Nokia promised...

This came about in sketchbook pro as I discovered that editing one of the supplied brushes actually does allow some similar results to what I was previously getting inside the Brushes app. Started as a silhouette doodle and evolved into the Chick.

Day 36 - Z

The drawing on my commute home was abandoned, as I wasn't happy with it at all. This Zombie came out as the result of a very transformative doodle. From a few haphazard marks with the intention of some degree of cuteness, to something slightly less cute but which at least has a little punch (super saturated complementary colours help ...). The first sketch is at the bottom for warts an' all coverage.

Day 35 - Tribal

Another doodle with no real intention behind it; it just became. Fun to do, and loose which helped.

Day 34 - Silhouette doodle

An exploration in silhouette today. It's fun playing with the shapes, and seeing fairly quickly if your form is fucking up in any way. It seems like a good way to design, as you're not concerned with messing up so much - just focused on playing with shapes and relationships with each other. This is pretty heavily influenced by some of Benoit Godde's fantastic work.

Day 33 - Old photo study

Hitting the traditional medium today, and a quick ballpoint/watercolour study of a great photo I came across a while ago on someone's website (sorry, can't remember whose). Good to try something different, though the drawing could have done with some more work. And the paint. You know, the usual.

Day 32 - Portrait

Heavily inspired by having looked at some Egon Schiele today, so remnants were in my head on my commute home. Kept it simple, and got it done quickly. More fun when I'm not focusing on tight line work.
