Craig's Sketchbook

[Craig Paton]

Thanks Minsky. I really need to get a move on with those still lives I've been promising for ages.

Here's a small update. Not done a lot this past few weeks, the usual 'art grumps' have been plaguing me, again, leaving me a bit lost and directionless.

I have been experimenting a bit with a more comic book like style, almost as an extension of my caricature stuff. Not sure how successful my experiments have been, however, may need a bit of work and study.

A detailed figure study.


Master studies, Picasso. (Thought this might help a bit with my colour worries.)


Made these wrestling 16-Bit pixel style drawings for the Royal Rumble the other week.







Some portraits of my Dragon Age protagonists, one from each game in the trilogy.



Not too sure where I should turn my focus now. Should I be looking at doing more studying, looking at things like Noah's Art Camp/CA.org's Level Up, master studies etc? Or, should I be focused on creating more finished looking folio pieces, via Chows or fanarts? Maybe I should continue working with the comic/caricature style, and seeing what develops of that? I'm not sure, what do you guys think? What seems like a more sensible road to making progress?
