SOI Submission Progress

  For Senior Studio we are actually making a project out of our SOI submissions. I'm working on the colors right now, so the final will be posted next week.

Figured I'd post my process so far.

Original Sketch

Here is my original sketch that came from my thumbnail, which had the basic principle. The hand giant robot hand in the foreground was too small in regards to the ones in the background, So I used tracing paper to make some adjustments.

Tracing Paper Adjustments

 I made the hand larger and also foreshortened it a bit. After I made some other adjustments I pieced together all the separate elements in photoshop and then sketched what would be my final piece.
Digital Sketch

 I ended up looking at it for a while and decided I hated all the black space in the foreground.The robot eye was off center and honestly I thought it just looked kind of lazy with all the black space in the crevices of the robot.

Final Adjustments

The changes definitely pushed the piece farther, I also cropped it to get rid of that gross white space on the right.


Final Inks

These are my final inks which I did with microns and some pens I got off of JetPen.

Inktober

I've been participating in Inktober this month, as are many of my classmates. Between class, work, finishing my 24 hour comic (which I'll post later), and all the other stuff, I've been having less and less time each day to do these little doodles.  

I mean, it's all practice in good fun. Not like I'm planning on getting a gig off an Inktober sketch. 
I just think if I had more time for one, the quality would go way up.

Anyway, here's a dump of all my Inktober sketches so far.

  





This one is by far the best, but it was a sketch I did for a much bigger project, so I took my time on it.

A couple of these I did on notecards, which I think is hilarious in itself.
