Before and Afters
Added 2021-03-05 22:26:55 +0000 UTCSince posting the dirty sketches, I wanted to show what it looks like in cleanup. I will admit, sometimes a bit of the gesture (even expression) is lost in the cleanups. This can be due to constraints in the models being used, where a desk is taller or wider, suddenly restricting the pose. Even as I post this and looking at them, I'm getting the urge to tweak them further.
The left side sketches were just plopped down quickly eyeballing it. The right side actually used the 3D models and real world dimensions of the room. Because of this, I needed to make adjustments to keep the positioning believable.
There's a possibility it's just something I need to get better at. Anything can be easily changed until I start laying down line work, so this is the stage where it's VERY important to get it right. As I may call these the "final sketches".... they are never fully at 100%. I will come back to a page I drew 3 weeks ago and adjust 2-3 sketches sometimes. I'll even do it to nearly finished and rendered pages if it REALLY bothers me.
Anyway, just some thoughts of mine and how I attack the process. It's never easy, and it's just practice practice practice!
As you can see here, Daphne is workin' her game. Enzo isn't exactly buying it.
