"Just a quick sketch, doodle or warm up before I start my day"
 I see this statement often on twitter 
and it make me wonder how can that be a quick sketch?
A well rendered colored piece of artwork 
a quick sketch for me is a bunch of lines usually done with a ballpoint pen and it takes me all of few seconds to finish it. 
Most of the time I am the only one who would understand it.
Not what looks like finished artwork
The Pomeranian above started as a "quick sketch" that led to a 
unsuccessful first attempt and a second much happier attempt that I posted on twitter
 and an Art Director loved it, so I mailed her the original a couple days ago as a gift 
hope it show up today.
So this is my morning quick sketch 




 

Ha ha! I agree! That is not a quick sketch! (Adorable, but not quick!)
ReplyDeleteFor me, the quick part it the line drawing. The not-so-quick part is inking the line drawing, then either finishing in water color or marker, or scanning it into the computer, & coloring digitally. But the latter has become a much quicker process than it used to be!
