Daily Sketch - The Roost

Character design for Herb, part of a potential project.


Trying a different method - I want a more brittle, energetic line, so I worked it out in pen, then filled in with brush.  The tooth of the paper is great for these dry brush effects, which makes it easy to switch between hard and soft edges - imparts an energy that I don't feel with the more delicate feathering methods.


And the final image - I rather like this one!
