Heloplane

 Heloplane

For those who are sticking through this diet of quick ink sketches - thanks.   I am working on other stuff but I cannot show it  and a lot of my bigger personal work pieces are taking a while to do.  I am trying to make a big push to the end of the year to get some regular work  so that has to be my priority.  In the mean time some inky breadcrumbs. .  . .

 Actually used a ruler with this one - paper was not flat when I took the pic.

 A quick study.  Something I have not had time to do in a while.  I was really busy combined with a hard drive failure meant there is not a lot I have to share this week.  
Below are a smattering of character sketches I did during the character design sprint I did in August.  All were from D&D prompts.

Another week and more ink studies and its Inktober.  I am just about able to keep up with these so I am going to forgo the Inktober prompts and keep going with the themed studies. This is almost the last of the landscapes.  I am switching over to vehicles - my least practiced theme.

Still deep in bigger projects.  Progress is slow. Here are some more landscape sketches.  Sticking to routine of prompt and working on them for about 30 minutes.  Lots of buildings here.  Next task to practice cleaner lines when executing these.

A lot of work this week but work is still in progress.  Above is a study prompt from Bjorn Hurris' stream.  Tried to give the sense of light and dark.  It kind of follows on from the previous study.  
  Below is a work in progress.  Really stretching on this one so we will see how it turns out.  There have been a few modifications of this draft but the overall composition remains the same.

After RuoLi  
This is a selection of landscape sketches.  They are about 30 minutes each done with pen and ink in response to a random prompt.  This is to practice getting landscape ideas down.  I will start to work on composition and values.    

The last is a copy of an oil painting After RuoLi who manages to create amazing textures. It was interesting to do something like this after concentrating on working with linework for so long.  It was done just by painting.
