Title: FlyByKnight's Sketchbook Thread
Post by: FlyByKnight on 14 February, 2014, 12:54:21 PM
Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and been a fan of 2000AD for a few years now. I'm aspiring to break into freelancing so thought I'd start sharing a few sketches, doodles and finished pieces in here for you to take a look at. I hope you like what you see and please feel free to comment!

Here's a few character concepts to get you started...

And a portrait study, looking at values.

Hi Jon,

I did post this a while back on my art blog and facebook page, maybe you came across it there? I'd already got your art page liked on FB. :)

Hey FBK, looking good especially the first figure. Just be careful on the hard/soft edges as a few of the elements look sharper than others.

Hi JonGibbons,

Thank you for the comments and the advice. I see what you mean about the hard and soft edges, I'm trying to work out where to put the elements of focus in the pieces, something that i very much need to work on! I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
