New Faces

Yet more scribblings. My next task is to scan them in, digitize and improve.

I have found that by initially switching to pencil, paper, and pen, I am less distracted from everything else on my PC, and am able to get on with sketching. Getting the roughs on to the PC afterwards is a doddle as I just take a photograph and let iCloud automatically put them in a folder on my PC. From there I can import them into Clip Studio Paint and use them to trace from.

UPDATE 18th July '20

Digitized and coloured

In the below second set, I was working on one character at a time, inking then flatting, but I forgot to switch back to the ink layer when inking further characters, but carried on anyway. MISTAKE!!! I should have corrected at this stage, but because I carried on regardless, I ended up with 1 ink and 2 flat layers which got a little awkward. As this is only a practise though I've left my errors in.

Random Scribblings on Paper

Rough work drawing practise on paper. I've decided that I get too easily distracted on the PC, so occasionally I should practise on paper. It should be a lot more than occasionally really, but we all have to start somewhere. These are practise drawings whilst reading the book, "Cartoon 360°: Secrets to Drawing Cartoon People and Poses in 3-D" by Harry Hamernik. My intention has always been to design and draw my own characters, but I keep taking the shortcut of utilising designs from Freepik or Pixabay. So, I'm trying to turn the computer off on alternate days and reverting to pencil, paper and pen. How far I get with that remains to be seen.

UPDATE 18th July '20:

I have now traced the figures into Clip Studio Paint.

Whilst adding colour, I noticed that I had to add several lines and also close up lines to allow for proper colour fill.

I may return to these heads for use at a later date, but if I do I'll start a new post.

Random Scribblings in Clip Studio Paint

Just some pretty basic scribblings in Clip Studio Paint. Nothing fancy and nothing great, just practise in both drawing / cartooning and in the use of Clip Studio Paint.
