A small colour sketch
Saturday, 9 October 2010 07:41 pmI'm swamped with work, so naturally I can't stop thinking about the comic X(... I want to DRAW! Well, I had to give in for a short while, at least, so I produced this small Gawain sketch in my brand-new pocket Moleskine.


Guess what: I have decided that I am not happy with my inked style as used in the first finished page of TDH. From the very start, I have had doubts about what style to use, but I went ahead because - well, the project is so huge, I should get on with it. But I don't like the result. Now I'm thinking of taking some serious risks and going for pencils + light watercolour, possibly monochrome for TDH and with more colour for Gawain's story proper. Black and white just doesn't work for me here.
Of course this would mean I'd have to draw on watercolour paper, and some experiment will be necessary. I can't wait to get started - but I have no time! Argh!
Also, I think I'm going to let go of all attempts at more realism in my art for the comic. What I need is something more poetic than realistic. The sketch gives you some idea of what I have in mind.
Must be off now. I do miss posting ;_;.
*hugs flist*
