I have probably neglected my sketchbook journey for long enough now, time for a mid year 2023 update on how my coloring and illustration journey is progressing for posterity. This is a collection of a few different pieces I have finished over the past 6 months or so, some commissions, some CHOW pieces and some personal project pieces. All in all I’m quite pleased with the progress I’ve made over the last few years when I look back. Well if looking back a year or two is concerned and wanting to burn most of what you thought was good at the time (like all artists I’m sure) is has any indication then I should be happy.
Still lots of areas of improvement im working on and I continue to drive in those directions, in regards to color pallets and lighting but I’m starting to see coloring/rendering in a new light these days and just can’t wait to get to the stage in a piece where I can just experiment with everything. What was once a dreaded chore is now my favorite piece.
I might spend a little more time this year going back to traditional art for a refreshing change and see if I can’t apply some of what I’ve learned over the years with my oils and acrylics. Should be fun if nothing else :)
