Sketchbook noche dos, mucho exito y un ambiente magnifico. Tu eres guapissima! That is about every word I know in Spanish, gracious.

Anywho here are the sketches from another successful sketchbook night at the coffee shop.

The next step in the Skillful Huntsman is your concepts. Today I just wanted to touch up on Digital painting skills. So I took my sketch I did of Royo’s Painting a on Day 31 and painted it.

Day 35 (Hero Sketches)

So I’m thinking of some kind of Post Apocalyptic, Wasteland Cowboy, Drifter guy for my “Hero”

Day 33 (Hero Silhouettes)

I tried Felix’s style with the black and white, I was using most my time on the little details that didn’t really matter. I moved over to Mike’s Silhouette thumbs and found this study very effective. At first it felt not so productive, but by the second row of silhouettes you start to see the character come out. Your drawings become more loose, and comfortable to try new things making more dynamic character silhouettes.

Day 32 ( Silhouettes )

The Book starts with the story of the Skillful Huntsman, and from this story they do a breakdown of what they will need to concept out: Characters, environments, vehicles, weapons, and so on. This is how they created the chapters in this book. The First chapter is Designing the main character The Huntsman. They start with thumbnail silhouettes and progress from there. They say how thumbnails are a good way of to get the basic, and less creative ideas out of the way.

The breakdown of my story took some of my time today, so I started to warm up on my silhouettes, and tomorrow really crank it!

so here are my practice silhouettes.

One month down, Eleven more to go!
