It Will Be Done
I like to call this a ‘comfort zone’ strip. A couple of figures, couple of heads. This is just about what any random page in any random sketch book of mine looks like. I should draw outside my own personal box way more than I do, but I don’t. I drew one week of horses, what, three months ago now? And was so scarred by the experience I haven’t drawn horses since. (In a couple of weeks I’ll be drawing horses again, we’ll see how much those limited skills have atrophied.)
The wagons are another challenge. Really, anything architectural or requiring a lot of perspective work. Monday’s middle panel was all perspective, but it was anchored by two figures, so, good with the bad on that on. There is a slow, slooooow, yet ongoing process building the caravan in Google Sketchup. I’m closer now than I was a few weeks ago, but it’s somewhat far down the priorities list. However, when that is said and done, the wagons will looks much nicer, and much more consistent.
sketchup’s great for basic shapes in perspective, you can also use Ps polygon tool for persp. lines !
Yeah! It’s a great program, and I’m loving messing around with it, but I’m scared of crossing that line where instead of speeding up the process and making it more consistent, I’m just wasting time with it and not getting the work done.
