Drawgust 2021 – Drawing 6

Today's Drawgust illustration is a boy sitting on a swing, looking out over a vast, fantastical valley.

Originally, I set out on this project to just make a collection of cartoons, to serve as potential inspiration for this year's Chalk It Up festival, but I've been venturing into more complicated images now, so maybe a course-correction is in order? I don't know... I've been enjoying the practice!

We'll see how things go as I start adding color, I guess!

Concept Sketch

Here's a concept I made recently - hopefully the first of a set. It's the first real digital drawing I've made with my new iPad Pro (using Procreate) and I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Will it ever become a game? We'll see!

For now, more concepting, and more practicing digital sketching.

Here's a time-lapse of the sketch:

After all these years, I've finally got some hardware capable of doing digital drawing - and so I've been spending time playing around with it in my spare time, getting used to how it feels, and learning how to use Manga Studio 5.

Here's a quick drawing I did today, just for fun:

No story behind it, just a bunch of random doodling here. Hopefully I'll have more soon!

Footballers Final

Here's the final of the poster I made for one of my ex-coworkers, who is at the 49ers/Seahawks game on Thanksgiving. Maybe they'll get it on TV!

Either way, you can enjoy it here now.

More Footballer Portraits

After a little more work, here's the final set of portraits to be used for the football sign I mentioned in the previous post. For any 49ers fans out there, do these guys look recognizable to you?
