Sketches and WIP

Okay, since I need to work on my figure drawings, I did ten 30 second sketches (with only 9 showing, because I accidentally deleted one of the sketches, bah) and a couple of sketches that took about 20 minutes or so. I did them in Photoshop because 1) I don't have a scanner and it's a pain in the ass to take picture of sketches with a camera and 2) I should be practicing on Photoshop anyway, since until I get a scanner I have to learn how to draw things out on the computer.
As for the 20 minute sketches, they're kind of messy, but they work. I used this brush I got from Chris Oatley because for me it's a brush that's the closest to simulating a gestural feeling on the computer that I can get. That's the problem with drawing on the computer, it's really hard to simulate going from thick to thin lines, heavy to light lines that a person IRL can do with conte crayons or pencils or charcoal and whatever.

Finally, I've been working on a series called "Native Steampunk" were I make character designs with fashion based on powwow regalia and steampunk fashion. Right now I'm posting a WIP picture of what's planned to be the 4th picture in the series.
