Fiddling With Sketches
Sep. 27th, 2009 09:29 pmBeen toying with a number of things in between job searching, research, keeping up with friends and family and housechores.
One of those is a bit of spacecraft design based on material from Christopher L. Bennett. Seemed like a cool idea at the time, based on a discussion of favourite starships in novels over at TrekBBS.com. Still does. I should really be doing something like this in CorelDraw, Illustrator or SketchUp, I suppose, but a real pen on real paper ends up most mentally efficient for me right now. None of it's officially sanctioned in any real sense, but it's a fun exercise that I can learn from.
Also, I've been toying with Manga Studio.
Not quite where I want to be with it yet, but then perfectionism holds sway in just about everything to do with illustration for me. Especially after visiting Montréal the previous weekend and seeing several Big Names working away in Artists' Alley again.
Practice, practice, practice...
