I appreciate this advice...also, I think this puts yet another bullet point under "Let's establish some boundaries at work and shut off availability on at least Tuesday".
Maybe more streaming would be in order as well.
I’ve noticed that I’m quite abysmal at keeping up drawing whenever I have a new partner in my life.
I love art and design, but I’m absolutely infatuated with my bae, and it’s conflicting. because I don’t know how to balance both loves at the same time, as well as my day job.
I don’t know what to do with myself at the time, and advice would be lovely.
The first panel is almost done! That said, aiming to the hatching look vaguely like medieval woodcuts is not as easy as I was hoping it would be, so it seems like this might be another one of those time-sink pages. :/
Here's a digital painting based off of an old OC I had from late high school/early college.
I wish I had more time to sit down and do more digital painting for my characters, but I tend to be doing design and economics work for college.
I’m at the point where I never want to work with this color combo ever again.
Trying to explain a particular nitpick I have with some typographic designs lead me to make this to illustrate what I’m talking about instead of trying to explain it in words.
Specifically, I really dislike it when people break up words like “Macchiato” into illegible crap that makes you pause for a bit, and then you’re stuck there for twice as long, trying to read what the fuck the word is. (Also, legit, I actually don’t like the Supercell logo that much, and it’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.)
I may try to experiment with a similar square grid later on, but something more legible--because I do like how effective the economy of space is in things like this, I just hate it when it’s illegible as fuck, and I wouldn’t have made this if it weren’t for illustrative purposes.
I am pretty happy with the color scheme, though.
>tfw you’re writing a rough draft for something and it actually alludes to the fact that coffee beans might be extinct or absurdly rare by 2080—ergo, coffee would be an extremely expensive black market luxury at the rate we’re going at.
I didn’t upload this from the class I took, but here—have an irritated chemist dude.
So, I finally got to making the base vector for my webcomic’s logo...other little fixes aside. Also, this means that the name of this project is out there. :P
(That said, I have learned that it’s actually significantly harder to make wordmarks in Adobe Illustrator that look like wood carvings than it is to do more curvy handlettering in it. Yikes.)
I can’t begin to express how happy I am to make a composition where I can line up a sword with the italics of a font just right, pretty much immediately in the concept sketch stage, but I am.
I’m also pleased with sketching out a late-30s/early-40s-ish high elf with a demonic looking sword and a lot of swagger...(and the two unfortunate saps he’s dragging along for his mission.) I’m coming to like this guy’s character design.
Also, I can’t draw furries to save my life. Help me.
I fiddled around with my car's radio a few months ago while I had Woodkid's "The Golden Age" album in the CD player. This was a nice image, so I fiddled around with it in Photoshop Express. It's a nice little pick me up these days.
I was in a bit of a nihilistic mood for the past few days, and decided to spit this out.
The edge, I know.
Greetings and salutations! I'm a graphic designer/illustrator, and this is my Tumblr. Feel free to check my about page for more info about me. Also, I only post my own things here—almost all reblogs will go to @dandyreblogs. Check that out if you're into aesthetics and other curious things.
