Notes and Sketches
-
Some warm up sketches today before continuing the project. Really wanted to focus on action lines.
-
Here are concepts pages I have done during this week, most of them are pages I have re worked to create a more interesting visual story.

Had a rough start with this week, my car broke down and threw my whole week off. And so it through off my art. So here’s some of what I got sketched out, and shortly I’ll share the other pages of the comic I have done as well.
-
Been busy doing sketches, reading comic books and practice with photoshop. To the point where I completely forgot about this site. So here are a few sketches to share, from character design to page thumbnails.
-
Testing out customizing bushes. Here I’m trying to mimic chalk pastels. Though it looks cool and good for practice, its not a brush I want to use in my current project.
-
Went to the Oregon Zoo in Portland to do some life drawings of the animals. Little sad that I couldn’t get a good view of the lions and tigers, and that the wild dogs weren’t out. But I had some fun times sketching the cheetahs and polar bears!
-
Another sketch, testing out movement and gestures with alligators
-
In addition to watching videos on Digital tutors, I began working on alligators! Although my current project won’t see too many of them, but the universe I have established for my story do have a lot of them.
-
Having finished story-boarding the first 8 pages of my graphic novel, I decided to slow down and test out the eye flow. The concept is to layout the comic page in a way to direct the viewer’s eyes as the read, so they don’t get lost in the art. There are subtle queues that help
-
I love the concept art for Kung Fu Panda! The flow, the movement, and how the eyes follow the figure as a whole! Needless to say I’m inspired by this work, so I did some tracing of the work in hopes to better my own style for my project.
