I’ve been studying illustration and fine arts for quite awhile now, so my living room has two configurations: PC related tusks [from work to games] - pc screen in “main” position And studying/drawing/hopefully, also, working - one day… and ideating, I guess😋 [studio configuration if you will)] but the only difference usually: screen, keyboard and mouse along with my tea pot and cup move around the table to a stand where I usually have canvas/sketchbook/ipad as simple and as convenient as it got so far)

Let’s gooooo said I, but may be will start tomorrow) anyway, as an aspiring illustrator [a bit scary to write it out loud, but aren’t we here to fix that😂] am very excited for that course!

And some inking, detailing 😋 my sci-fi-esque pancake approach!) planing to make many more of these! Pancakes - perfect for environment, blobs - for things that fill it!)

Fast sketch of ideas without idea) pancakes + small blobs

I’ve met that dude while out sketching, am I in trouble? He didn’t follow #noircat #catnoir

I feel I used to like Lego more.. before brilliant idea to draw it 😂 p.s. next time will use millimetre grid paper for it) [and will get a t square, now I deserve it😂]

And it doesn’t stop there! 🍯 🐝 🤘

Calling out Marshall👀 that technique is contagious today all ideas started with blobs! love it! #sketchingoutside

a bit more about new techniques! my progress of studying sci-fi concept art is on its way! This time not as much perspective, but I’m already working on a bigger piece!) original design belongs to Doug Chiang, this is my interpretation both visually and in story: We are in a world with dragons! Some of them are ancient and wise beasts! But others are domesticated and with time, turned into beasts of burden. This particular example lives far in a tundra regions of a planet, where there are not many trees, or anything in fact. So Nomads of the north use giant unwinged dragons to transfer there entire houses, goods and rare tourists around.. like it or not, it’s the only way you will get to places where you can get that precious material I haven’t yet thought through!👀 However, fun fact for those who decided to read my post!) First known use of the phrase “beast of burden” defined: An animal employed to carry heavy loads or to perform other heavy work (such as pulling a plow) was in “1740” and the first recorded use was in “*1795–1805”. [quora]

So that was a lot of fun! but I’m terrible at picking up new techniques on the fly 😂 anyway thanks a lot! That was a very nice experience to sit through im convinced to join the course) [not going to finish that drawing though, better will draw it from a scratch one day, thought my kiwi skill is improving!😂] p.s. I guess it’s not fare if we don’t share failed work where we study - part of fun of having a community, isnt it)
