Sketch Fest Wrap up!
I just participated in the August Sketch Fest from Ellen Million Graphics again. It's become a monthly ritual for me, or you could say addiction! I love joining in for it, and I can see some obvious and swift improvements in my work since I started way back at the beginning of the year (I think May was the first one?).
As usual, all sketches must be done within one hour, and are inspired by prompts from visitors. You can find out more at http://ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/
This month, I focused on sketching more interesting poses without using any photo or model references. I didn't have as much trouble with it as I thought, a clear sign of the improvements I've made from being part of the sketch fest I think! Sketching has become so much more fluid and easy for me now, I was so rusty back in the beginning.
When you are working to a short time frame like the hour deadline, I find I don't do barely any erasing. I just clock out shapes and go from there. So there are often still issues with the sketches that could be fixed and changed by erasing back and starting again, but I try and avoid doing that for these, I just go with the flow and learn from the process moer that way!
This month I got ELEVEN sketches done within the 14 hours I was awake for during Sketch Fest!!
And because I didn't post them here last month, here are the eight from the July sketch Fest that I got done (I had done nine but one has gone missing!).
