This is a character design for an old Chinese poem I'm illustrating. I found a book with whole bunches of armor designs from all the different Chinese dynasties, which proved to be very helpful reference.
I threw down a quick color study in my moleskin, which is probably the most amazing fun I've had in my sketchbook in a long time! This is only about an inch by two inches using acrylic and colored pencil, a quick technique I was taught that I know I'll continue using. Hope you like!'
AWESOME NEW POST RILEY! really like this sketch:)
ReplyDeleteyour work gets better and better all the time.

Seriously, my favorite thing ever is discovering the perfect reference book for something i'm working on.
ReplyDeleteI love all the new stuff you've put up this week. I really wish i was in that class, i'm feeling like i need to be challenged more.
by the by, there's an artist on deviantart that posts really cool character design challenges, a lot of them remind me of the stuff you do: http://luigil.deviantart.com/
i've been thinking of trying out some of the shape ones when/if i ever have any free time again.
