ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

[xelfereht]

Here's a couple of small commissions knocked out

this ones for my friends firefighter team logo, It's just for their fun
used it as an excuse to study some Mike Mignola and practice using Affinity designer to do some vector based stuff
Stylized tings and vector tings both out of comfort zone so Satisfied for the moment.
Still backed up with client work, bit stressed with it all. just keeping up best I can.



and a Cowboy commission from an old repeat client.
Gave clip studio a try for this one. I like the program in allot of ways but the lack of 'copy merged' makes me sad
still, straight up drawing does feel closer to traditional than photoshop



Here's some of the reference used, I didn't find a perfect reference so had to do a bit of making do, which is good for a challenge. the portrait reference was just a selfie type photo which is not ideal but hopefully I made it work ok.



making time to flesh out the story for my graphic novel.
going well, can't wait to make it real. hopefully get somewhere significant with it in the next year.
trying to get enough money up so i can coast for a bit and do personal things and quit stress eating.
