Going to try and be consistent!
Will post my class doodles/sketches from my iPad Pro if need be.
For now, a few clothing studies and little sketches afterward!

As someone who knows nothing about fashion: these look really cool to me. The lady in the re jacket's face seems a bit off to me but that doesn't really matter if you're only focusing on clothes right now. Keep it up!
P.S. Love the colors
P.P.S. Nice wrinkles!

Why, thank you! Yeah, the red jacket lady doesn't seem feminine enough, haha. Will post more studies as time goes on! Also, INKTOBERRRR

Recently finished a workshop with Benjamin Bjorklund and Blake Neubert over the weekend!
First time with oils and probably going to do much more..!

ESL 2016-10-11 02:55:52 UTC #5

Some character studies, focusing on posing and rhythm.

ESL 2016-10-11 22:12:54 UTC #6

Some more sketches, mostly from imagination this time!
Love drawing lady legs nowadays, quite odd enough haha.

ESL 2016-10-13 22:01:54 UTC #7

Some poses, faces, clothing, a mix of everything. Cheers!

ESL 2016-10-14 22:04:05 UTC #8

Working on a portfolio piece(s)! Starting with some thumbnails of various poses/structures.
Going to pick a few I really like and start the whole concept-ing process`

Couldn't sleep tonight so went on a whole painting vibe session-
Will continue working on the portfolio gal once I'm done with midterms this week. Cheers

Went ahead and picked the few thumbs that had potential and reiterated each 2x more.
Quite refreshing, can't wait to see what comes out of these!

ESL 2016-10-20 21:41:52 UTC #11

Finished the thumbs of all 5! Now to explore thumbs for an illustration of a handful of these gals. Hype

ESL 2016-10-23 00:30:39 UTC #12

Slowly coming together! Picked 6 of the above thumbs and establishing form/lighting.

I like your experiments with shapes not into fashion, but should probably study it more for my characters. Either way, cool stuff!

ESL 2016-10-25 02:35:55 UTC #15

Oh hey! Thank you for the input Yeah, shape language is really key in pushing a character's design, go for it~

zanben 2016-10-25 04:25:05 UTC #16

Your doodles and sketches are so fun! They have a really energetic feeling to them, keep up the great work!

ESL 2016-10-25 04:34:30 UTC #17

Thank you kindly, nice to see you on CB again mate! It's nice to just have fun learning and painting/drawing..!

ESL 2016-11-03 23:03:06 UTC #19

Sketches with my favorite brush rn!

dvlfsh 2016-11-04 13:20:22 UTC #20

Hey, nice sketches, but try to use not so transparent brush, when these transparent strokes overlap each other - it begins to look very muddy and unreadable.

ESL 2016-11-05 15:10:56 UTC #21

Mmm yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks for the insight ^^
My weekly for the week:

ESL 2016-11-10 17:13:11 UTC #23

Finished a whopping 50 thumbnails a few days ago. Need to these more often and fuel my design sense!! You guys should try it, too
