Eric Sketches


I've been working on coloring the past two days. Check out my website for my blog entries for Monday and Tuesday. Here's a preview.
For this, I kept the the simple 80 lb. manilla drawing paper, and used marker and colored pencil in tandem. What I liked so much about the technique was the intensity of color it affords, which is exactly what this show needs. The colored pencil allowed better rendering of hair and fur, while the marker moved the pencil around to create more solid textures.
Usually I photocopy out my renderings, but this time, I really enjoyed sketching on top of my pencil lines. I think the sketches have more energy and less weight.
Final design meeting is tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes!
