My process for this Project varied a lot. With 25 thumbnails to choose from I chose the one that combined most of the ideas I wanted to be shown. That being The “Dead” and “Shot”. I narrowed it down to this one and then fleshed it out in a tighter pencil sketch and then brought it all together with a final outline and the proceeded to make 3 value studies to bring in the details in the image
This is the final pencil sketch of my label. A Unique Idea that I would want to do is if this were to be made to print, cut out the stream of the drink on the label so the actual drink is shown through it
Right off the bat, I love how Steven uses a sketchbook as a diary. It allows us to draw what’s on our mind whether we’re free drawing to let our minds vent or we have a greater composition on our mind or thumbnailing. It allows us to put our thoughts down and let us express ourselves. Most of the time I tend to put thumbnails down for commissions or big projects I’d work on
The Part about always having time to draw is so true. Even this summer when I was at work I would have a sketchbook in the break room or when I had to be the doorman for that shift I would be drawing on little index cards also using the objects in front of me when I was the doorman, I was able to practice still life as well which was a nice refresher from my usual drawings that I do at home of figures.
Overall this article is extremely helpful and encouraging as it helps you eliminate but the could’ve/would’ve as, in order to develop your skills you need to consistently be practicing, Jim Lee actually said that we should spend at least 3-5 years of constant sketching to develop our skills
