Drawing for Myself – Cindarr

Today’s warm-up sketch got a little involved, but I was grateful for the chance to practice some new techniques. I started out with a simple drawing of Cindarr from the Visionaries toy/cartoon series. I meant to color it with crayons, but then thought about that episode of the Comics Are Great! podcast I did with Brandon Dayton, who showed off some really neat digital painting techniques. So I used today’s warm-up sketch as an opportunity to try out the techniques for myself.

CINDARR Pencil, brush pen, and Photoshop on 5.5×8.25″ bristol

Now this is my first go at using those digital painting tricks Brandon showed me, so I’m not satisfied with this. But it was fun, and I learned a bit. I think I’m going to watch the video again before trying some more.
