Imaginary Friend

Above: work in progress


This ogre has a quarrel with his imaginary friend, Harold, who lives right under a finger-nail.

    It makes me happy to know that even really good artists still need to make a whole heap of rough blue pencil lines sometimes, a trait I often am ashamed of having after looking at how some people can just draw it all in one go.

    In short, you are very inspirational to me.

    I always start a drawing with the blue pencil. There's something about the control you have over it that allows you to flesh out your character.

    Really fun-looking!

    Here's a question I've been wanting to ask you, Florian: How long does it take you to do each character, approximately?

    Frasier, Thierry, Nick, Piram, Kaek, Gulzar, Richard, Bouss!

    Many, many, thanks! By the way, what is "the austrian's touch"? Are there some characteristics or features in my work?

    Richard, the rough sketching takes about 10-15 minutes. Not longer. But considering all things (like concept, research, thumbnails, pre-sketches, etc.) it takes up to 2-3 hours.
