Time flies

It truly does! I can't believe summer's almost over already. Well, in any case, I just thought I'd post the final sketch for the yard sale poster, the final of which will be printed at both 8.5x11 and 11x17. It's times like this I really appreciate photoshop. You can see the final product at my main blog if you like.

And to follow I just thought I'd do another "hey look at the different stages of my work" thing. Just to see what a sketch looks like compared to an ink drawing:

As you can see, this is a fairly tight sketch for me. And also, the subject matter is undeniably strange, which tends to happen when I'm left to my own devices. And the final result:

That is one "lucky dog" if I do say so myself. There isn't much of a difference, except for the line weight and such. And, of course, I sometimes change lines around because I can't necessarily see everything in the sketch even with a light box. But it all turns out okay in the end. In any case, I'm glad I got some practice in. Well, that's all for today!

Posters

Sorry it's been so long... I've been updating with some sketches on Speed of Flight, though. That's the thing about having too many blogs, I guess.

As you can see, I'm having a yard sale (though not at my own abode). If anyone lives in the area, drop on by for some juicy deals! In any case, a friend of mine and I are helming the poster aspect, and these are the two top sketches for it. While I like the idea of a citrus fruit font, having the whole poster written that way will sacrifice too much readability, so I'll be doing some more sketching of course. Just thought I'd post something up here to show I'm not dead!
