Quick Sketch

[Albertese]

Here's a sketch I whipped up. I've been trying to experiment with digital sketching. I am supremely jealous of Vektor's ability to make some pretty cool digital art. I decided to draw a familiar subject and so here it is, the Botany Bay:

I dunno. It's still pretty primitive. I kinda like the charcoal sketch look of it. It didn't take very long at all. About 15 or 20 minutes. For a first time with a new technique I think I did ok.

Comments?

I'd need to lash out some serious money on a pad before I could try this, and then I'd need to lash out even more on drawing lessons as I'm crap at it. That's one of the reasons I took up Lightwave, I couldn't draw for toffee but still wanted to make stuff. You need skills no matter if it's digital or pen & paper drawing, and I'm flailing in the wake of you guys.

That's awesome.

I used to do pencil drawings back in the day... until I discovered Blender.

Keep that up, and you'll be where you want to in no time.

Yes, nice! Very nice. I always liked that look, with the charcoal and pastels...(memories of art classes in college) One good thing, you don't choke on the spray fixative in the digital realm You should find some "fingerprint" PS brushes, and put some light smudges for added realism.

Looks like a Jefferies sketch.

Looks like a Jefferies sketch.

Yes!, on a dark background, with some color, that would be a very nice style to sketch up designs, and very classic trek look to boot.

Love to see more of this.
