Lillen's Sketchbook

[Lillen]

I've taken somewhat of a break from my studies in favor of working on career related things. I'm currently an independent art student (self-educated). My goal is to become part junior freelance illustrator, part independent artist. My strength is character art, specifically semi-realistic stylized femme humanoids. (Despite my recent studies, I have no plans to specialize in landscapes / environment art. It is an area I'm weaker in, hence the practice.) I want to work on a mix of projects; creating art prints, developing my own characters and stories, drawing other people's characters, working with companies to illustrate book covers, card games, RPGs, etc. and maybe even branch out to the fine art world.



Working on improving my method / workflow / efficiency for painting rocks. Still a bit rough, but figuring things out slowly. Came to the conclusion I need to take a step back and work on my shapes more. Please share if you know any tips or brushes to get nice easy textures without photo-bashing.
