Chugging away on my mermay.
This is going to be a two fish with one line kind of thing since I am also using it for the SCBWI monthly contest, Alone.

I need to get going on my mermay piece. I started thumbnails but that is about it. I been busy all month on an album cover for a local band. They are really cool to work with. I love getting a client that understands my process and knows what they want.

First was to come up with some band logo designs. They went with a combination of the ideas and settled with the bottom one.

From there we did thumbnails and they decided to go with a combo of A and B with some changes. Their idea was aliens walking around the city like they are part of it. There are call backs to some coffee shops in Amsterdam which is where they got their band name.

Now I am now working on my value stage:

I'm going to be making anatomy my main focus over the next few months and since I'm doing David Hohn's Heads and Hands class, I thought I'd focus on the skull for a while. I can now draw it from the three main positions from memory in under one minute, which was my goal. Focusing on doing the class assignments now!

Here is one of the study sheets I made myself to nail the different proportions.

@ShannonBiondi thanks!

@burvantill haha yes theres 4, 5, and 6
They are rarely used because they’re just for flashyness but they are fun.

There are also a lot of perspective “tricks” too that help you set up a grid.

And no the mastering perspective class on svs is very stabdard. Perspective can be very difficult and a lot of the time confusing.

Worked on a graphic novel type page this month. Really trying hard to limit colours and vary viewpoints. Despairing of ever finding a ‘style’ even though I continue to do master studies of my fave artists. #thelongandwindingroad

While waiting for my stretch paper to dry i worked some more on the color mockup in procreate while also watching the original Light and Color lessons.

I wanted to have some silly fun

Revisited a sketch I did a long time ago - tried to bring to more finished state. A story about a puppy and a caterpillar friendship has begun to germinate
