This started out as just a concept sketch in my Moleskine Art sketchbook. I wanted to try if I could draw a scene from a short story I’m working on. I liked the pencil rough enough to clean it up, test colors in Procreate, and color it with watercolors. I struggled a bit with the yellow Moleskine paper, which is not really well suited for watercolors. Still, I managed to get this looking OK enough in the end. Tools: - Moleskine Art sketchbook (the red, hardcover one) - Blackwing 602 - Schmincke watercolors.
A next piece I did using the reference photos pack I recently shared on my Patreon. I want to show that you can approach making art using these photos with many different tools. Here I used just pencils in a sketchbook.
Surprisingly this piece seemed to be the one I had the most problems with so far. I made many false starts and once had to start entirely from scratch. I guess my lack of experience in drawing with only pencils and no colors is the cause. I should do more pencil studies like this one to get better!
With this piece, I also wanted to get a bit further from the reference photo, changing the perspective and contents a bit to make it more interesting (I hope). You don’t have to stick strictly to the photo when creating your scene – it’s more important to make the final piece interesting!
