Sketch dump - 06.19.11

Bought a new sketchbook yesterday. I decided I wanted to draw on tinted/non-white paper, but also wanted it in a sketchbook format. It's a lot harder to find than I thought. Four art stores later I got an ecru colored sketchbook. I would have liked something a little bit darker so that white shows up better, but it still works better than pure white paper. I could have gotten a paper shopping bag colored sketchbook as well, but for some reason I went with the ecru. Now though I'm thinking I should have bought the other.

But oh well, I was just trying out a few different methods to get the best results.

The first one here was done all with my finger and in Sketchbook Express so there were a limited number of layers and types of brushes and settings I could use.It's actually still one of my favorites though. I like how the jeans look, and I felt like I really got a sense of the colors overall. There were still some things I wasn't happy with, but oh well. This next one was also done with my finger, but now in Sketchbook Pro. It's nicer because there are new tools and menus which help with workflow, as well as a bunch of new brushes and settings, so I got to experiment with some of those. I was developing my taste in brushes on this one. I also tried doing some less realistic skin tones but still trying to maintain the integrity of the shading. I've never tried it before, but I've listened to my life drawing teacher t...
