Finding time to work on Sketch Dailies has been quite a challenge with work and classes starting on CGMA. But I at least try to get a good sketch in so when I get the chance I can take it into Photoshop to flesh it out more. Here is Billy the Kid the initial sketch along with the final colored version.
My second entry for Sketch Dailies. Had to add the Three Little Pigs. Cant have one without the other.
My first Sketch Dailies entry. Looking forward to this movie!
So this year I decided to start a little experiment. Since I tried out the Inktober last year, I wanted to do one of my own. The idea came from another fellow artist Karoline Pietrowski. So the idea is that each day I would do a quick character design based off a full body picture and a personality description that is provided by volunteers.
My first one of the year is Brooklyn: female, age 2. She is feisty. Full of energy and loves to play. She loves to sing and play with dinosaurs.
Everyday I will draw someone (anyone) that requests to be drawn. They don’t have to be people I know, but they must be aware of the rules. Now these are the criteria:
1. I need a full body (preferably clothed picture of yourself, I know I have some funny friends out there that might test the water on this). Make sure it’s clear and I can see your face. Don’t send me just your headshot. Full body photo for reference.
2. I need a short description of your personality. For example: age, gender (yes I’m asking for that as well), occupation, etc. anything really to help me figure you out better when I pose or give you a facial expression.
3. Are not afraid or offended that I may exaggerate features that I may find to be important to shape and form.
4. Make sure to private message me on fb https://www.facebook.com/EdwardTaylor or email me edwardiantaylor@gmail.com for any questions or to provide me with the needed picture and basic information. Please do not send me long bio of your entire life. lol
Remember this is an experiment that I hope I can do each day (maybe as my daily warm ups).
Let’s see who volunteers. Thanks guys!
Okay with the craziness of the holidays, I totally forgot to post some of the sketches in my sketchbook. I’m usually on top of posting my work in Instagram and Tumbler (edwardiantaylor). So if you wanna follow me there, thats where I usually post stuff. Thanks again for all your support for the past year. I’ve learned a ton within this last year, and I look forward to another year of learning and growth. Thanks everyone!
Hi Everyone. This week we had to make a confident cowboy and a selected animal. I decided to go with a horse. The animal needed to be depressed, unmotivated, and gluttonous. Hope you like them. On a side note, its strange to have been working on so many male characters. I usually find that I prefer drawing female characters. 🙂
I’ve been taking a fundamentals of Character Design Class and I’ve had to make cafe sketches each week. Here are mine from last weekend. Hope you enjoy 🙂
