Thumbnails and Marker Practice

Added three new markers to my collection and came out to this color scheme. Making progress :)

Nico Marlet Studies

I've never actually used markers before in my sketchbook, I never really have the right colors and value to get something "illustrative." Here are some attempts at Nico Marlet style. Character designs are copyright Nico Marlet and/or Dreamworks.

Cheeks study

Sean Cheeks Galloway study, using his shapes but a Stephen Silver photoshop technique I'm learning.

Yikes! I accidentally deleted all the photos from my blogpost >< Bare with me while I try to update my blog

Disney's Tarzan Model Sheets

Some great model sheets from Disney's Tarzan of Kerchak and Kala. Posted images are copyright Disney.

Claire Wendling Study

This illustration posted is copyrighted Claire Wendling from Iguana Bay 2.0 but I do want to share my notes made on this copy.

Basically it says:

Claire pushes the pose but uses the "same" shapes. They are similar shapes from rough to finish but the finishing lines change the shape slightly. The final lines add appeal and charm to the illustration with the use of straights against curves. This is more obvious in the human than the cat."

Even the tree lines are changed to excenuate the rythm of curves (the trunk) against straight (her accented right leg).
