My drawing ...Hi Gabrielle,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your question! My drawing process can be described as "trial and error". Sometimes I sketch a character 5 - 10 times before I find the perfect pose!<BR/><BR/>I also look at lots of pictures of the creature I'm drawing (including images of its skeleton). Occasionally I make simple 3D models (sometimes out of my kneaded eraser!).<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for stopping by–I appreciate your comments!Robert Squierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438100248833903301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787476091065195993.post-55640179973664942732009-01-26T13:42:00.000-05:002009-01-26T13:42:00.000-05:00Wow...I'm torn between the pencil sketch and the f...Wow...I'm torn between the pencil sketch and the final colored version...very nice on both counts!Brine Blankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225308769654640156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787476091065195993.post-70633373595382145852009-01-25T23:25:00.000-05:002009-01-25T23:25:00.000-05:00This is gorgeous.

I love seeing how the work develops. <BR/><BR/>A question if you don't mind - what do you use to help you figure out accurate positioning of a creature if you've got them in an unnatural position or don't have reference photos or sketches of them posed a certain way? I know some people make 3D models to pose them. What is your trick? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787476091065195993.post-32586860303164048222009-01-25T21:17:00.000-05:002009-01-25T21:17:00.000-05:00I can really appreciate the time that you invest i...I can really appreciate the time that you invest in your work.
