Testing Shapes: Mount; Anatomy of My Rough Process

Update: I already posted these pieces over at The Art Center, but since this is my journal, I wanted to put it up here, too. It's a sort of anatomy of my rough process. The final rough sketch is a composite of the pencil and the digital drawing. The clean-up will follow soonish... by the by, you can buy the original pencil sketch through an auction for the Christchurch victims. The starting bid is as low as $10,-! Plus, the original piece comes with signed prints of the coloured and cleaned-up illustration (Motorbirds Illustrated cover and work-in-progress sheet).

Update2: AUCTION CLOSED, THE SKETCH WAS SOLD!

All wonderful shapes and designs.
The top one in blue gets my vote.
Florian do you work on the cintq or pencil and paper?Or both?

Florian Satzinger said...

Cheers Tony! The top one is my front-runner, too :) BTW, mostly I work directly on the Cintiq/Intuos but I regularly return to paper and pencil for drawing/sketching ideas.
