    I really like those sketches.

    Edited:

    and those other sketches from your earlier post,
    they are both awesome

    So do people just go to college for 4 years to learn how to use fonts. Is this what typography is because I don't understand.
    To the best of my knowledge there aren't any specific typography schools, but it's a massive part of design and should be well covered by a half decent design course. However at my uni we must have looked at type for a day, and it taught us very little. So right now Im interning at a letterpress studio, and it's really, really helping me. Obviously it's not an option for everyone, but there are some good books out there which offer a great introductions. There's a recently published book called Type Matters on amazon and it is awesome! Highly recommended even if you haven't a huge interest in typography as it covers the basics and explains it all clearly. And it's printed in a moleskin so that's also nice

    Draw him as santa, but a fit santa.
    This most closely approximates the gabe.

    I had an incredibly shitty day handing out cvs in town today, so I decided to start a sort of experimental project where I buy these crazy cheap 3.5*5" recycled cardboard notebooks, customize them and sell them for monies. Just ordered £10 worth of them to work out exactly how to go about doing it; I'm quite excited! I'm hoping I'll be able to sell them for at least £5 each, and the notebooks cost less than a quid, so with any luck I'll be able to make around £50 profit from just selling a dozen :)

    Anyone got any experience doing this sort of thing?

    Was asked to make a desert creature that was a combination of a whale and a tortoise. Wound up with this.



    I don't do a whole lot of creature art so if was a fun exercise.

    Why not finish it? Or at least clean up the linework. The perspective on the eyes and the fangs seems a bit off but overall I quite like it

    It's for the same game.

    Though this one is a bit more passive.

    I probably will, if not tonight, then sometime tomorrow. I have a bad habit of going off to sketch out other things before finishing anything

    Very unhappy with the non-foreground bit of the last one, starting again




    I think I was thinking too hard about the colours/layout of the last one? Going for a more sporadic approach to layout in this one. I think I'm just not so good at cityscapes - I tend to revert to the sim-city-style look

    Edited:



    wow the left-right perspective lines are a bit spastic let me fix that

    looks good on my end, but I've had issues with drawing dark stuff and people not being able to make it out at all.

    the stars in areas I'm not looking directly at are kinda twinkling in my brain, weird
