I am interested what are your ideas on sketches. I came up with 2 techniques: 1. draw with one line only, that is I don't lift the pen. 2. draw cartoon-like shading with no outline. also, markers are very good tool for sketches. I am posting some of mine, they only take couple minutes without colour:
Your elephant (if that is what it is) is striking - I only glimpsed it for a second but it's still looking me in the minds eye - if you did a landscape or something in that style it would be a totally original style - I prefer stylised landscapes as opposed to ones that are supposed to look like the photo.Like rouseau's tiger - it's nothing like a tiger but it's a rouseau tiger - yours is baloon mammoth elephant being - and it's no-one elses!
thank you rg paddler I have little more pics in the gallery, but they are not very good. I haven't really painted anything, but I like to draw quick pictures, with the markers especially. I am still waiting for some inspiration, as to colouring these things, and then I'll post them.
