February sketch-a-day

[sholio]

And here is the final version of the sketch-a-day project! Ack, have I really not posted an update since Feb. 7? I meant to do more WiP posts for this!

It was really interesting to do a whole drawing one isolated square at a time -- definitely good practice for my drawing and visualization skills. There are a couple places where my mental plan got a little off track, but overall I'm pretty happy with it, and it was very relaxing to sit down at the end of the day and cross-hatch. It felt something like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

If you'd like to try it yourself, the March template is here: http://darthneko.deviantart.com/art/March-Sketch-a-Day-2017-666081351. Click on "download" in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, and then print it out, figure out what you want to draw, and do a daily square! (Or two. I did keep getting behind and having to catch up with two or three at a time.) Thanks again to darthneko for making these available. :)

For whatever reason, as this post loaded and I saw the illustration before reading a word, what popped into my head was: Wendy Pini, circa the issues that became the second Starblaze volume (the green one).

:-) Thanks for sharing.

Heh, Wendy Pini was probably my biggest art influence as an aspiring young artist, AND I've just been rereading Elfquest recently ... so you're definitely not imagining things. ;)
