Photoshop play

This was supposed to be my submission for the last Illustration Friday theme of Impossibility, but I was a bit tardy and decided to colour it in photoshop since I was already late. So here it is. Not too sure if I like using photoshop for colouring. It probably took longer to do it this way than doing it by hand.

Sketchbook

Sketchbook

I've been in a sketching funk lately. I've been forcing myself to sketch everyday to try to break through this wall... Sketching in my smaller book seems to help. I think one part of it was the pressure to fill an entire spread with "quality" images in my larger sketchbook. The battle continues.

EDM #219 challenge -- window(s)

Decided to go to the University of Toronto campus to sketch a few windows.
It was also my first attempt using my pentel waterbrush. Quite challenging regulating the flow of water. Just means I'll have to use it more.

There's only one way for me to enjoy a beautiful day and that's to draw some of it. Went down to the waterfront and sketched the Round House, a former train terminal which now houses the Steam Whistle brewery. Plus, a few people by the water.

Not really a sleepless night, but rather my regular nocturnal habit of sketching when the city's sleeping.

sketchbook: 08/04/09

Just started sketching in a smaller sized sketchbook. It's not the best quality of paper, but it definitely has given me a looser approach to sketching people. Possibly a combination of smaller spread size and cheap paper make my entries a lot looser and less anal. I like that.




These are the uptight, anal spreads.

Subway people

I very rarely get a chance to ride the subway and I had a chance today so I thought I'd post a few faces I drew.
