I've been beavering away on my current illustration job for what seems like many moons now (...it is actually about two and a half months). I remember the first day I was given the brief whereupon emotions and events proceeded in this manner:
Excitement! Terror. Research. Bad drawing. Horror. A cup of tea. More drawing. Doubt. Better Drawing. Relief. A glass of wine. Storyboards. Characters. Dummy books. Exhaustion.
Exhaustion was yesterday, which brings me to the present moment. I am on the precipice of starting the colour images. This is brilliant- it is what I live for. It may be my holy grail.
As I await the 'go ahead' from the client, I thought I'd give my marker pens a stroll around the page (and check I remember how to use them....). A selection of my much-loved art materials and of course; a cup of tea :)
Such a lively sketch - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colors! And I really like your tools too ^^ It seems like you know Japanese as well, at least I could tell what you're writing and all. I can't read Japanese, my wife could, but I could tell it's Japanese
ReplyDeleteI can relate ... to all of it! I'm sipping my tea and eying my Microns even now. lol nancy
