Comic Book Project - Character Designing

Hiya!

Another update on the comic book project, today I did a character design for one of the secondary characters in the series, he's in issue two only briefly (although his presence and the actions surrounding his scene are important to the plot and do reveal important information, so not just a background character) but it should be fine to show here.
He may well end up changing by the time his pages come around to be drawn, and the comic is actually in black and white, but here's one version of him anyhow.

Time-lapse making of video can be found on the YouTube channel link below -

Comic Book Project - Update

Good afternoon!

Just a quick update, this weeks been all about the day job, and a bit of PS4 when I've had time, but today I've been mainly concentrating on a character concept for the comic book project I'm working on with the talented writer Mr James Fletcher.
Unfortunately this particular character is a main one so I can't share the actual image, but I'll be working on some of the secondary and background characters over the weekend and will be sure to share some of the sketches.
My morning figure sketching has been on hold this week, just been too tired to get up early enough to do much before leaving for work, and the same goes for video's and time-lapses for the YouTube channel, but there should be one uploaded next week, hopefully on Monday.

Until then, have a great day/days!

6am Sketch and Airbrush Doodle

Salutations!

Not had much time this week but managed to sneak in a quick doodle and bit o airbrush practice this morning in the wee hours.

It got a little more Cartoony than I would have liked, which tends to happen when I'm rushing and limited on time.

I also did a time-lapse of it to which can be found here -

Hope you enjoy, have a good Friday night people!

Controlled Doodling is on YouTube!

Good day to you!

Controlled Doodling in now on YouTube (if you didn't guess that from the post title)

I've done a four part video of this mornings sketch, as a tester to see how long the videos will be when sped up, and to kind of get used to drawing whilst recording. It's weird, it shouldn't really make a difference but knowing it's all getting captured makes it a little less relaxed, and from that I'm making more mistakes, I'm sure I'll get used to it and soon enough will learn to forget that it's for video and not just for fun.
Below are links to each part and the final image is at the bottom of the page.

Part One is the rough pencils/working out what I wanted to do, and it can be found either here -

Part Two is the tighter pencils and adding additional detailing, and it can be found here -

Part Three is the Flat Colours and Shadows, and can be found here -

Part Four is the Secondary Colours and Final Touches, and it can be found here -

Or they can be found by clicking the link "Controlled Doodling on YouTube" under the title image of the blog.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy the videos, I'm moving onto the next sketch!


Catch you later!

Sketching Time-Lapse Test!

Hi All!

Nothing special art-wise today, but I'm just posting a quick test time-lapse video of a random doodle I did earlier (I did the doodle just to test the screen recording).
Hope you enjoy the video, if all goes to plan I'll be making many of these in the future, but they'll be much better planned, and hopefully better finished pieces too.
If I do make more I'll try to create a title screen, have a thumbnail of the finished sketch shown at the beginning, that kind of thing. And then maybe host it on YouTube and just have a link to it here, not really planned this out yet!

*Update*

Video doesn't seem to be showing up in Chrome, Explorer is displaying it, not sure about Firefox and Safari.
Will go the embedding route through YouTube for sure next time!

Have a great weekend people!
