As week two of my Sketch-a-Day 20-XIII attempt comes closer to being over I can honestly reflect on how much I've surprised myself making it this far. Not only have I stuck with it but I have 12 sketches, as of this entry, which contain NO intellectual property owned by any third party.
WOW.
Using existing characters is usually a fairly safe and expected route for making quick sketches. Its something you're familiar with and have a decent image burned into your memory to call upon. There's little planning involved beyond the pose. While I'm fairly confident there will be character sketches of big name heroes and villains popping up in my sketches, I've impressed myself with having 12 original creations in 12 days.
Starting Monday I'll be switching sketchbooks. I started out in a 5x8 book thinking "hey its just quick little doodles and it's been a while." Plus the consideration that I was accustom to sketching ideas on quarter sheets of 8.5x11 paper made me feel the small sketchbook would be plenty of space. Boy, was I wrong. With each sketch attempt I realized more and more that I need more space and gosh darn it; MORE SPACE I SHALL HAVE! Monday.
Be sure to check back later for Sketch 13/365 sometime this evening. You can also Subscribe to updates with your favorite RSS Reader, NetworkedBlogs, or with the Google Friend Connect options in the left-hand column.
Thanks for following me through this challenge!
