slow hand ~ Andrew Ken's sketchbook

[aks9]

Cyprinus: Thanks! That's kind of you. I might try to get round to painting the boss ship thing, and fixing it up a bit, I tend to get sucked into these things and spend a long time on them, and I'm a bit busy, but fingers crossed
Salmanazar: Thanks!
Wardy: Hmm, to be honest I'm not sure what you mean with the line weight thing. Could you take a screencap and highlight an area or something? Perhaps it's just the brush I use; its the default photoshop chalk brush with opacity and flow set to 100%, size set to pressure sensitive. I change opacity with the number keys on the keyboard.


So on a whim I experimented a bit with some mecha stuff, this needs more time, here we go:





And I made a new timetable for myself, with specific art subjects each day, let's see how that works out for me.

Also I recommend todoist.com for todolists, this is the best one I've tried so far. Very easy to add items via keyboard shortcut, has web/desktop/mobile versions, all free, slick interface, etc. Is especially effective if you add a date for each task, so you can go through the list and cross them off and see how much stuff you have left.

I started using the GTD method of just dumping every single mental todo that you have into the program to get them off your mind, and then you can just go through the items one by one.

Anyway I wish I could post stuff more regularly, I'm currently working on some big pieces which are quite slow and I don't want to just post small variations of wips of that.

I do post some sketches and links to interesting things on twitter everynow and then, if you guys want to follow/connect this is my link: http://twitter.com/000aks
