While getting ready to head out for our trip to Boston to see the grandkids as well as attend FANEXPO Boston, I thought I’d try something different.
I had been wanting to do a timelapse study of my drawing process for some time. I had also been wanting to illustrate a STAR TREK print for some time, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone. Since I wasn’t sure what would result, I laid down some ground rules for myself.
First off, I would not erase. I could sketch and build up and work the drawing, but I couldn’t erase. Second, I would not hem and haw. I would simply move as fast as I could and live with the results. If it wasn’t perfect, there’s always next time. Third, this would be the initial stage of a much more detailed layout and illustration. I know how I want this to go, so the placement of the head where it is on the overall layout is exactly where I want it.
If people don’t think I botched this, I will continue to update the progress of this piece as well as show my approach to drawing other characters I’m associated with such as Sonic and Lara-Su. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
