Project 1 was a drawing exercise in order to get more practice in line drawing and inking. Also, I experiment with colors and usage of Layout Markers. And here is the result (please regard it with a favor - I'm a learner :-)
I call this picture Experiment #1 : "Crossing". As can be seen, I am still fascinated from the idea of steam punk. It is an interesting task to think about which parts a steam man would comprise, and which are the characteristic building blocks of such creatures. I am very sad to have not more time to investigate this question.
One intention of this excerise was to work out to draw lines in different weights, and to get comfortable with the foundations of comic inking. Although I've done some progress, I have still huge respect to the professionals of the Comic Szene, it is really difficult to draw lines accurately ! As an result of this exercise, I am also starting to get used to Layout Markers.
It is always interesting to experience the relation of drawing to courage and resolutness. A line must be drawn without doubt or fear about error, which is also true for shadows or dark areas, or light spots. Here, only practice and strong observation will help ;-)
The next picture is planed to be carried out in oil pastels, but I can not say if my holidy is long enough. Project 2 is to create a game prototype in Processing, and Project 3 is about Erlang programming. So we'll see......
