Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

I was working on some more digital illustrations today; these are just a few of the things I always have around.

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

So this is the outcome of the last couple of sketches.  This idea sort of came from all the squirrels I always see on our street.  They’re always leaping around in the trees, running along telephone lines, and pretty much having the run of the place.  I guess I got to thinking how they’d do out in the country among actual predators.  Somewhat less well, I imagine.

I guess the companion drawing to this would be the “country squirrel” wandering goggle-eyed into the street as a taxi bears down on him.  But I think one impending-rodent-doom illustration is quite sufficient.

Taking the concept drawings from yesterday to the next level.  There are still many things I would want to do differently, but the idea starts to come together.  This would benefit from a lot more details throughout. I did have enough time to add a few details to the rovers (shown below), but overall there is a lot more time that would need to be invested in this idea.

This is the self-portrait concept I did for class (based on Sketches #65 & #70).  It ended up being a lot more pathetic-looking than originally intended.  I wasn’t trying to be such a sad sack — just trying to illustrate the occasional frustration with creative blocks and/or not being artistically proficient enough to execute my concepts the way I want to.

But enough whining.  The only thing that will fix that is more sketching…
