I've been interested in artist trading cards for awhile now and I've been thinking of doing a series of them. I started a sketch today, and right now it's turning out semi-successful. At first it seemed destined to fail when I was just working with pencil it didn't look right. I moved on to charcoal and it doesn't look that bad. I tried adding a second figure but I'm having trouble getting the two in proportion to each other.
The second one is after I started using charcoal, you can also see the partially erased second figure. Still not sure I think it could be an interesting piece with just one figure, though I'd like to stay true to my reference and have both. I'm also curious if I could some how turn this into a mixed media piece. I'm not sure where or how I'd add on to this though.
I haven't thought about my larger piece yet. I still need to review some notes and do some sketches. I have a lot of creative projects going on right now. I need to kick start this larger piece though. If I can get a concept figured out I'll be ready to go.
I did some virtual house keeping though. I cleaned out my other blog, I plan to start writing a bit more on here. The other blog is mostly gone right now because I started writing in my journal more. My ramblings about day to day things are much better suited there. My strong willed opinions that sometimes turn into rants might find a home here. I do want to start expressing more of my views in my artwork, at least more than I do already.
