This weekend I made some progress on a project I started at the beginning of the year. I didn’t get it finished like I had planned, but I as long as I get off work at a decent time tomorrow, I think I should be able to finish it up in the evening.
I tried something a little different this time around. I did a version all in gray scale first. Then I saved a copy and started making a color version. I’m still working through the color version.
I decided to work on a piece from an earlier post tonight. Here is a snapshot of the progress I made.
One of my goals for 2009 is to work on my illustration skills, so here is the first pencil sketch for the year. It’s a scene from the little boys imagination as he and his dog travel though space in their wagon rocket.
My next step is to explore mediums and techniques of adding color and finishing touches. The second image is just to provide more conceptual context around what I’m planning on doing with the background and composition of the piece.
Any feedback is welcome! I LOVE illustration and really want to grow as an illustrator, so any criticism, suggestions, ideas, etc. are much appreciated.
