Random bit o' randomness

Drew this in between drawing... y'know, serious stuff, so I could try a coloring technique in Photoshop (toning in pencil, and coloring in PS with a "color" layer). The coloring didn't work so well (too much white in the image; the pencils need a good smearing first, I've learned), but I still like the drawing.




It's not really done yet (the aforementioned smudging, along with fleshing out the supporting character), but... y'know, the blog's called "work in progress", not "here's some finished stuff I did." :)

I have this little notebook I use to write story ideas or scenes on the bus; as I've mentioned, I usually sketch a bit to get the creative juices flowing. These are some of the characters I sketch in the notebook to get the ideas going.




If you can't read my chickenscratch writing, the names are, starting from the top-left and going counterclockwise, Scamper, Spud, Fray, Dog and Yui.


Don't ask.
