Drawing on Photoshop

Tablet drawing...

So it's been a while since I've drawn digitally, as over summer I spent a lot of time drawing with paper and pen. However TODAY I had the chance to kick start the digital drawing again.

Drawing characters of various calibers, face shapes and features is a lot of fun and I enjoy following characters line of movement. I used to draw characters straight on, alas now I'm incorporating actions and situations into the sketches. This way it's far more dynamic, and they immediately become better 3D characters.

Brush experimentation lies in my future...

Character designs

Penryn Folk After refining my original sketches (which, for the record, were way off style to begin with) I adapted my approach and made sure the eyes were not as round and far more in proportion. I actually really enjoyed coming up with these 6 Penryn characters! The colour scheme is gritty and representative of the age as well as being colourful. I love the bearded character second in the line. His jacket's all torn and patchy, plus he looks pretty trust-worthy. The blonde-haired girl in the green dress standing next to him is also one of my favourites. She has a bizarre mix of hesitancy and adventure in her eyes that I find refreshing (I hope other people see this too) I think the way her arms are hung by her side gives her an proactive personality. I'm told the woman on the far right looks like she could bake a really good loaf of bread. Little tweaks have to be made here and there, but overall I'm proud of this line up. Watch out for that cheeky lil k
