Witch Doodle

Here was a scrap sketch from the Hansel and Gretel witch drawings. I really liked the sketch, so I thought I'd do a little digital painting over it. I put less than two hours into it.



as you can see, I changed up the nose a bit because it just wasn't working logically.


and here's a detail

As Promised

Here's Hansel and Gretel, the look is really starting to come together for these characters. As always, click to see it larger. Funny thing is, I really hate making cut paper in real life, but making the look (or something like it) digitally is fun.

Class Notes

Balancing three days of classes, four days of work and all of those nights of homework is cutting into time that I get to update my sketchbook. Luckily, I get lots of time to do some off the top of my head sketches during my Lit class. Here is today's page.
I'll get the updated hansel and gretel up soon as well as the the final drawing soon!

Hansel and Gretel Sketch Dump

Here's a current project I'm working on: my take on Hansel and Gretel.

I usually don't show all of my sketches here that go towards a finished project, but here it goes: an exhaustive look at my process. I like to do a bunch of drawing before I ever go into any of my graphic design or illustration. Click on any of the images to make them bigger.

I do have a process in which I like to work, but the style can vary greatly. I started out trying to find a look that I wanted to go for.


I liked the real chubby, classic-animation-esque Hansel and Gretel.


I try some other faces out..I think I like the one with curly hair.











I tried lots of witches, but the last one is the most fitting with the cartoony Hansel and Gretel.







I'll have final sketches for the characters and the environments the next time I post for Hansel and Gretel.
