Dummy Sketches

Finishing up the rough sketches for my book dummy. Here's a pair of "big thumbnails". I do very rough thumbnails to test layouts in a sketchbook. I then go into Adobe Illustrator and sketch it at full size using a brush with pencil & charcoal attributes. Then I place that spread in an InDesign document.

 Just testing out a combination of illustration and production methods while getting the ideas down quickly. It's a new process for me and I'm working out the quirks but getting more comfortable as I go along.

Yesterday's Sidewalk Chalk Challenge

With friends in town all I had a chance to sketch was this caterpillar with assistance from the boys.

Bus sketching...

Turns out sketching on a bus is not very productive. the ride got a little too bumpy for sketching, hence the zombie look of one of the figures.

These are possible character deigns for the picture book I'm working on.

Quick Sketch for the Challenge

Not what I'd usually sketch, but a friend jokes about needing unicorns on a regular basis so I gave her one.

Starting up.

Setting up a Posterous account to use a sketch blog. I'll probably end up posting other stuff here too. Hope you enjoy the ride.
 
To start things off, here's a spread from the dummy I'm working on for a story I wrote, "Bobby's Box".
