Finally been able to do some personal work this weekend, only had time to do some sketches but nevertheless It was good to pick up a pencil again. I started a new job 3 weeks ago as an illustrator for a company that makes short animated videos and I’ve been adjusting to the 9-5 life.

This is yet another sketch for the comic “I’ve been working on” for ages, I hope to finally start proper work on it now, its funny that I’ve been talking about it for over a year. I think the main problem I have is deciding on the look of the main character, I want to feel comfortable drawing him over and over. It might also help that my free time is now not spent looking for a “proper job”, I might actually get some personal work done. More to come soon…

Back on this debate again. I cant decide about the eyes, I’ll have to come to a decision sooner or later.

Sketch A Day 19

Sketch A Day 18

I’m sticking with this theme now, video game characters running. I can’t think of a better way to get used to a new piece of software (Paint Tool Sai). 

If anybody out there has a favourite game character they feel is under appreciated send me a message about it on tumblr or twitter @markmooredraw and I’ll do my best to draw them running or otherwise. (Link or Samus or anyone obvious I’ll probably get around to drawing soon but feel free to suggest them anyway)

Sketch A Day 17

I’ve been continuing with messing about in SAI and I’m finding it a lot of fun. I particularly like that you can rotate the canvas left and right really quickly by pressing “delete” and “end”, It feels a lot like real drawing on a piece of paper. Here is Sonic because I thought I’d keep the “video game characters running” theme. It’s still rough and sketchy but I’m not trying to make anything finished, just messing about.

Sketch A Day 16

I’ve just downloaded the Paint Tool SAI trial and I’m impressed. This is literally the first thing I’ve drawn in it. It’s like a mirror version of Photoshop. I don’t think it’s quite ready to dethrone Photoshop for me but I think I’ll be using it a lot more.

Sketch A Day 015

This is a very rough promo sort of image for my cloud project. It’s really ridiculously rough but I want to document the process of this project. I’ll start proper work on it in the new year when I’ve got less going on.

Sketch A Day 014

This is what happens to blank space on pieces of paper when I’m trying to do serious work, An incoherent mess of video game characters and faces.

Sketch A Day 013

This is another quick sketch of a character from a comic I may one day get around to drawing. This time he has “realistic” eyes instead of “dashed” eyes and slightly different hair than normal.

Sketch A Day 011

Did this a week ago but I wanted to post it for reference for when I post the finished version. It’s from a comic I’m working on for Sefton’s Landscape Partnership Scheme.
