A quick sketch from yet another figure drawing session. I had a bad angle on this particular pose, so I chose to focus on just the hand. It turned out okay, though I think it would benefit from some shading to push the more distant parts (index finger, top inside part of palm) a bit deeper into the page.

Stopped in at another figure drawing workshop. This guy was striking a sort of contemplative pose, which ended up looking a bit like blowing his nose into his hands…

Following on from yesterday’s sketch, these are a few iterations of a hand icon for a touchscreen demo video. Â I was trying out a few different ways of modeling some light and shadow on there. Â The last one is getting close; I’ll probably tweak it a little more in the morning and call it finished.

Tomorrow at work I need to do an illustration of a hand that will be used in a demo video for a touchscreen application. Â This was just a quick sketch to serve as a reference for the digital version. Â Then again, maybe my giant hands aren’t the best models for this — might have to recruit someone else tomorrow. Â Someone whose hand will fit on a sketchbook page.

This is an expansion of yesterday’s sketch, prepping for the same digital illustration perspective assignment. Â I like the angle, but I was thinking of making it more visually interesting by putting it in that leather-helmets era of 1920s-ish college football. Â Could make for a good color palette and design aesthetic in the final piece. Â Also, I like the idea of having an unexpectedly female quarterback who’s about to make the big, game-winning play. Â I forgot to fix the proportions before doing this fleshed-out version, but I figured that could be fixed later in Illustrator.
Then I realized something: there’s no actual action taking place here. Â There’s anticipation of action, but that’s it. Â So the inset sketch is a new idea that would integrate action directly between the foreground and background elements. Â Of course, it also trades female empowerment for imminent demise of small, furry creatures. Â Hope that doesn’t reveal something about the artist…

I’m working on a new digital illustration that’s meant to incorporate some kind of action between foreground and background elements. Â This is just a quick exploratory sketch to see if this kind of composition could work for it. Â Things would obviously need to be shifted around a bit, but I think the basic camera angle will work.
