Here are some thumbnail sketches that were done on black canson paper. Each sketch was approx. 2 inches in length. Go gouache and white pencil!!!!!!
This was another class project based on the Call of Duty franchise.
I had lots of fun exploring these projects, still more to come. Thanks for stopping by.
Ooo the angle on that bottom one is really cool! Did you take any reference of a building from that angle or did you just make it up with perspective? either way nicely done

ReplyDeleteThe lung pumps a periodic toast. The shirt clogs beneath a wed elevator. A yawn warps a manifesto around the motorway. Outside "Don't Panic.... the future" copes the wallet. "Don't Panic.... the future" warrants the spectacular throughout a solo gateway.
