A perfect day … for sketching

A perfect day, that was the starting point for this project.
Since procreate is the software that I’m used to work with,I decided to create my sketches in procreate.
But while I was watching the course I felt like I had to buy a sketchbook and give it a try.
Sketching on paper was always a scary thought for me because it feels much more real.
During my process I make a lot of mistakes, so maybe a gum wasn’t enough…it’s much easier to undo :)
Anyway, I gave it a try and actually I was pretty happy with the result, so I made more final pieces from those sketches :)
So in this project you will find a finished piece that was created from my sketch on procreate and you will also find some finished pieces based on the sketches in my sketchbook.

For the sketches and the final project I used procreate.
But I decided to give it a go so I bought a sketchbook and gave it a try and managed to fill one page with sketches from little birds.

Search for references

Sketch from references

Create a Mindmap to generate an idea and a background story

Sketch out the props and the main character

Bring it all together in the final sketch

During this step I found the sketch to busy and I decided to make some changes to keep the focus more on the main character :)

Overcome the fear for a sketchbook. Buy a sketchbook and fill the first page :)
