Awesome, Mal! Isn't Cammy British? Or was she brain-washed by Bison or....

Ya know what? Street Fighter stories make NO sense. Haha. Love the series though.

I've been taking sort of an art-vacation lately, but I'll be back soon enough!

I have had so much more difficulty whenever I start to lay out a perpective grid to arrange objects on a street scene than when I just throw something together naturally like this.  I don't know if it is a form of "artists' block" or not.  Free standing figures with no background are a cinch; figures interacting with objects or the ground are not.


What seems to work for me Carmen is to make a smaller sketch size version of the perspective WITH the figures roughed in. You can draw the figures first and the perspective on the shot then comes up pretty much organically in the same way that the fish sketch does. Then I figure my perspective in this small size and tightly sketch my background details in there. Then I blow up the background and put it on the lightbox; do my figures etc. and then render the buildings or rooms in a freehand type of fashion. I'll still use a ruler, but I don't feel as restricted because the basic linework is there and if I bugger something up, I can just erase it and the perspective is below on the blowup. Hope this helps.

William:

   I haven't thought of it like that, but it does make sense.  I have made it a habit to produce thumbnail sketches of a panel in the past, but haven't been doing that of late.  A thumbnail helps clear up some issues that might crop up when you're producing the final illustration itself.

   The only thing I'm lacking right now is the lightbox.  I'm thinking more in terms of doing it the way they put it in How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way.  The initial perspective grid can be laid down in a lighter weight which can be cleaned up without much effort, while the actual line art for the objects on that grid can be given full weight.

   I could take up some parts of this technique.  In fact, I ought to be working in thumbnail sketches before starting on the actual art itself.  It's a good habit to bring back.

Does anyone here do commissioned art work?

I am planning on starting my own sculpting business and I have been toying with the idea of creating my own characters to make some sculpts of.

What I am worried about is if I create some character design and someone else sees it they may copy the design and try to use that for their own project.  Is there any way to prevent this?

Charles, there are two ways for little people like us to protect or characters, that's almost without cost. First, draw a picture of it, seal it in an envelope an mail it to yourself. When the drawing returns with a Federal U.S. Mail dated cancellation across the stamp, your protected as long as you don't open it. The other would be to post it on line, under your name. The date and time code of the post should be enough to hold up in court, if it came down to it.
