I know, it doesn't look like much, but I worked all morning on this.
So what is it? It's a thumbnail (very large thumbnail) sketch of what I'd like to draw next. If you look very carefully, you can see a stick figure crouching to one side and sort of a background roughed in behind it. And you can see my notes. This is going to be another manga illustration, but maybe this time with a more painterly approach.
I'm still working from "Girl to Grrrl Manga" for the details, like hair, face, clothing, but now I'm also trying to incorporate the stuff I learn from Imagine FX magazine. I read this magazine all the time, and I'd actually like to do some digital painting (thus the purpose of this blog). So rather than just follow along doing a bunch of little exercises, I thought maybe I'd just jump right in this time and get to work on a full blown image. I like the idea - a feral Cupid or Eros hunting for his next victim in a ruins or abandoned building. I'm thinking of calling it "Love On The Prowl." Honestly, the hardest part so far was to come up with a decent idea, but now that I have one, and I have a rough guide of how I want it to look, I'm ready to get to work.
