Testing out my design skills. I decided to go with a unique nurse theme onto one of my main characters.

Trying to worm my way out of an art block. As usual, I'm not creative with poses but I'm three for four on actually including stuff other than just portraits this time so.

All of these were made entirely using palettes so sorry if the base colours are disagreeable with the eyes.

Came across some art done in the thick-outline, solid-shading style and I couldn’t resist going back to it. I think when it’s all said and done this is still my favorite art style… it’s so fun to draw, especially on an iPad.

I think I’m getting better at bullshitting clothing folds from scratch, though I do still need to look at references for minor inspiration.

I found a beat-up Wacom Intuos 3 tablet in the trash at work. Cleaned up the drawing surface and carved a replacement stylus nib out of a chopstick. It's the first drawing tablet I've been able to try out, and the results are pretty decent, even with the homemade nib and the integral drivers (I guess I should probably download the proper drivers at some point so I can use all the buttons on the tablet).

The test sketch is inspired by a French book I'm reading called "Les Centurions" by Jean Larteguy. It's about French paratrooper officers in Indochina and later Algeria. The tablet really expedites the process of fabricating a sketch. It took only a few days to render a scene like this, whereas before it would have taken me at least 2 weeks if not longer to get to this point with mouse and keyboard. I'll have to see what the painting/coloring stage will be like with the tablet. I imagine it will also see an improvement in speed.

These are some of the last entirely mouse-and-keyboard sketches that I will now probably end up finishing with the tablet:

Art is good but you should working on your coloring. It's just bit too even and lacking in contrast and don't guide the eye very well. I would consider stronger shadows on the ground and you might want try using more "colorful" shadows in dark blues and purples.
