Sketches

This was a fun exercise going out to do some life drawing at a cafe.
Instead of drawing the people as I saw them, I turned into cartoon characters. Trying to capture their personality in their designs. 

Doing life drawing is a great way to learn your style. Since you are not copying from other artists, your mind and your hand interpret freely as they should. And with every drawing the style drifts in your original direction.

sneak peek - wide sprawling dungeon

The second book is on its way. Here is some pencil work: a sprawling dungeon illusion that the sorcerer built to trap Eep. Will our hero find the exit?

Orc with ram horns

Just a drawing of an orc I made while sipping coffee. His ram-like horns are inspired by Torq, the orc character from the Critical Hit podcast. That podcast kept me company while I was learning English once I arrived in Canada. Gave me familiar voices and characters to go back to, while I was trying to find my footing into a vast new country. 

Thank you guys at Critical Hit. 

Eep - the imp -

The main character of the story. Working on the inking style of the next story :)

MEMORIES OF ARCANTIDE - The Imp

This is the first book of illustrations I made. I bought a hard bound sketchbook, and on each page I drew a new illustration that describes the story. I did this every morning over a month, and I really found the process congenial to my way of imagining stories as a sequence of images. 

Sneak peek

I know I haven't been posting these past few days... so I decided to show you awesome people a sneak peek on my current personal project. smile emoticonhugs!

morning dook - Fantasy Sketches

Letting my imagination go and playing around with an ink brush and grey markers.
This is probably not much, but all of the details will probably be useful later on. I constantly try to build on my fantasy library. So that when I need to come up with designs, I have something to grab from.
